...INCREASING RAIN CHANCES ALONG WITH SOME POSSIBLE STRONG THUNDERSTORMS
FROM THE BAY AREA SOUTH OVERNIGHT INTO TUESDAY...
A WEAK AREA OF LOW PRESSURE EXTENDING FROM THE FLORIDA STRAITS NORTHEAST
TO THE BAHAMAS EARLY THIS AFTERNOON WILL DEEPEN SOME AS IT MOVES SLOWLY
WEST NORTHWEST INTO THE SOUTHEASTERN GULF WATERS LATER TONIGHT AND
TUESDAY. AS THIS LOW MOVES WEST NORTHWEST INTO THE GULF DEEP LAYERED
SOUTHEAST TO SOUTHERLY WIND FLOW WILL DRAW ABUNDANT TROPICAL MOISTURE
NORTHWARD INTO WEST CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST FLORIDA. THIS MOISTURE COMBINED
WITH INCREASING LARGE SCALE LIFT AND INCREASING WIND SHEAR PROFILES
WILL HELP TO INCREASE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS SOUTHWEST FLORIDA
AND THE ADJACENT GULF WATERS LATER TONIGHT...WITH THIS ACTIVITY SPREADING
NORTH INTO WEST CENTRAL FLORIDA BY EARLY TUESDAY MORNING. AT THE PRESENT
TIME THE PRIMARY HAZARDS FROM ANY THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE LOCALLY HEAVY
RAINS...FREQUENT LIGHTNING STRIKES...AND STRONG GUSTY WINDS. IN ADDITION
INCREASING WIND SHEAR PROFILES WITHIN THE ATMOSPHERE MAY SUPPORT SOME
ISOLATED TORNADOES OR MARINE WATERSPOUTS IN THE VICINITY OF THE STRONGEST
STORMS OVERNIGHT AND TUESDAY MORNING.

Oh my goodness...And me i have to be at work at 7am
Notice the big high (very high pressure and increasing) in the northeast. Winds rotate clockwise around the high and are getting pulled into the low in the central US. As the high gets stronger (or the low gets deeper, in some cases) the winds get faster. which just might be the case here. I just read in Jeff Gammon's blog that they are talking about a sub tropical system possibly developing off the southeast coast.
Peggy Willenberg(one of the Twistersisters) My Mentor has sent me my first weather text book "Meteorology Today-seventh edition"my journey into meteorology has now taken an interesting turn in to the academic world.
Se also sent me a book called "Weather forecasting hand book" By Tim Vasques
Peggy told me I cannot read this book until I fully understand the text book.
I can see why as I had to look through it,( its all greek to me)All of it is pretty much over my head, for now.
Peggy also sent me this heads up about the developing upper low:AS THE SYSTEM CONTINUES EAST NORTHEASTWARD DURING THE MIDDLE TO
LATTER PART OF NEXT WEEK...A DEVELOPING UPPER LOW/SURFACE LOW NEAR
THE FLORIDA PENINSULA WILL PROBABLY INHIBIT MOISTURE
RETURN...DIMINISHING SEVERE THREAT. AT LEAST A LOCALIZED SEVERE
THREAT IN THE FORM OF TORNADOES/DAMAGING WIND GUSTS COULD ACCOMPANY
SYSTEM OVER FLORIDA AND ADJACENT PORTIONS OF THE EASTERN GULF/ SOUTH
ATLANTIC COAST STATES NEXT TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY...BUT UNCERTAINTIES ARE
LARGE WITH THIS SYSTEM AT THE PRESENT TIME.
Maybe something more to look forward to this week. One never knows.
well im off to start my day, I hope you enjoy yours!
Always keeping my eyes to the sky....Jess
