« on: February 07, 2011, 12:07:12 PM »
After such a dull day yesterday (for the most part) there are some POSH warnings in northern Florida, 26k tops if anyone bored :P

Have a great day


edit: said 36k, meant to be 26k

Indeed! :)

If you switch to the Tampa radar, looks like a pretty good squall line setting up, if it holds together we're in for a windy afternoon. We'll see what happens when it gets over land. Looks like you're about to get soaked Ocala!

Unfortunately it's starting to lose it's punch.  :-(
The wind has picked up but it looks like just an afternoon rain event.
Too bad it couldn't be like last weeks squall line.

well hell :( 

Good news is that it is 83 degrees here, maybe it'll juice up before reaching my area. Just hope no one gets hurt of course, but as we all know theres not much we can do about that.

83 eh? If you could get some full sun that would really help things out.
It went from 73 to 63 here in about 10 minutes.
Just starting to rain now.

Its been cloudy here for the last two days, maybe a small break in the clouds here and there.  I guess the silver lining is we do need the rain. Should help some with fire season around the corner.

I still think i'd rather take my chances inside a car rather than laying on the ground. I'd probably die from a heart attack from either lol .. but i'd feel safer in a car i believe.

I was surprised, and happy when I was in town on Thursday to Saturday morning that there was not any active weather.  Friday especially I figured with 80 degree temps rubbing the arctic air only several hundred miles away, might spin some bad stuff out.  Took till 1pm to burn the cool fog off, but Friday afternoon was a great day by the pool, and flight out Saturday was uneventful.

My station is the one just NW of Lake Weir.
Candler.
Man the second half of that line is going to be moving through pretty soon. That looks like it has even intensified a bit. :-)

I see you have GR3 going too. :-)
I'm trying to get some work done but I can't get away from the PC.  ](*,)
If you look out in the Gulf there is another line out there behind this one.
