Front Brings Little Rain To Florida, Dryness Continues

Florida Wildfire And Dust Devil Chasing Soon?
The weak frontal boundary that I had so much hope for bringing some rain, came and went without a drop. A pre-frontal boundary that moved through overnight Monday, setup over the far southern region of Florida, mostly over the extreme southern Everglades. This was the only decent convergence and […]

Strong Virginia Tornadoes, Birthday Lazy Afternoon

Devastating Virginia Tornadoes Remind Us It’s Spring
I wasn’t near any computers during the second half of yesterday, and was not aware of the large tornado event that raged through parts of Virginia until this morning. Pretty sobering video and pictures from the 3 Virginia tornadoes from Monday evening airing on CNN this morning, and hitting […]

Florida Hoping For Frontal Rains Through Tuesday

A uneventful weekend weather-wise, and this trend looks to continue through much of this week. Unfortunately, a large mid and upper-level stacked low, will slowly drift over North Carolina and then offshore into the Western Atlantic. This will place much of the Southeast and Florida in a northwest […]

Typhoon Neoguri Nearing China, Satellite & Track

Typhoon Neoguri Heading For China
Looking around the world at the current active tropical weather, there is Typhoon Neoguri, a once more organized typhoon, but still remains a dangerous cyclone. The storm first moved over the Paracel Island and is now brushing the large island of Hainan off the coast of China. Strong winds and surge […]
