Yep. Welcome to Florida! 😂

12/09/2024

We have warm temperatures, well… above average let’s put it at that, across the state as cold air influence from the cold front we had seen a few days ago is long gone. But we are seeing some increased cloudiness and rain chances along the Panhandle ahead of our next front, which should arrive late Wednesday into Thursday.

For the Panhandle, have the umbrella handy today as rain will be somewhat sporadic. Elsewhere, partly cloudy to mostly cloudy skies are expected.

In another note, this week is finals week, so posts will be limited, as they’ve already have been, as I continue to study and (hoping) to pass these exams and classes.

The 3-in-1 special returns to Florida today as 50s are expected in Northern Florida whereas upper 70s/low 80s are expected in South Florida. But by tonight we’ll all be cooling down to some chilly temperatures. Freezes are anticipated along North Florida and the Panhandle as 20s and 30s are expected. Plants, crops, and other outdoor vegetation should be covered. Bring pets inside.

Along Central and Southern Florida, 40s and 50s, and some 60s are expected.

Have a good day!

Today is going to be a warmer day, feeling nice of course, but this is due to the winds shifting ahead of another cold front. This will increase rain chances today and tonight across the Panhandle. But elsewhere, mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies are to be expected.

Have a good day!

12/04/2024

Yep it’s definitely chilly outside when you can compare the Costco walk-in cooler to the outside!🥶😂

December 1 marks the first day of meteorological winter and while it's Dec. 3, it sure does feel like it here in Florida! At least for our standards it feels like winter... Either way, 50s are expected along the Panhandle, Big Bend, and Northern Florida this afternoon as another cold front is going to make its way south today and bring us cooler temperatures. 60s are expected across Central and Southwestern Florida, whereas 70s are expected across SE Florida and the Keys.

Tonight it gets cold again as temperatures farther north will drop below freezing, into the 20s and 30s. Some of those 30s are going to make it along Central Florida as well; but widespread 40s are expected across Central and Southwestern Florida. Along SE Florida, I don't think we'll see falling iguanas as temperatures are too warm but 50s can be expected and lower 60s for the Keys.

Have a good day!

Recap of 2024 Hurricane Season:

18 named storms
11 of which became hurricanes
5 of those became major hurricanes (Category 3 or higher)

Five of the 11 hurricanes made landfall along the U.S. Gulf Coast. 3 of which making landfall in Florida. We had Debby, Helene, and Milton. records dating back to 1851, there were 2 other years with five US landfalls. (2005 and 2020).

Florida Storms -

Hurricane Debby made landfall as a Category 1 Hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson scale with winds of 80mph. Debby made landfall near Steinhatchee, Florida, early on August 5. Debby had caused extensive rainwater flooding along portions of the Big Bend, such as Live Oak and even along the west coast, such as Sarasota. Debby had caused over $7 billion (2024 USD) in damages in the state of Florida and outside the state of Florida.

Hurricane Helene made landfall as a powerful Category 4 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson scale with winds of 140 mph. Helene had a pressure of 938mb at landfall, which makes it the 9th most intense hurricane to make landfall in Florida, which records date back to 1851. On September 26, Helene made landfall at peak intensity in the Big Bend region of Florida, near the city of Perry. Helene brought extensive damage along the Big Bend. There was significant storm surge along the Big Bend and along the West Coast. An approximate value of 7.2’ of surge was recorded near Tampa, and 9.6’ of surge along Steinhatchee. Helene had brought nearly $21 billion in damages across Florida. Helene unfortunately caused catastrophic damage across the Appalachian regions of NC, SC, GA, and TN due to major flooding and major river flooding.

Hurricane Milton was a powerful hurricane and was the strongest storm of 2024 across the world. Milton was the fourth most intense hurricane in Atlantic history, dating back to 1851. Milton had a low pressure of 897mb and winds of 180mph. However upon its arrival to Florida, its intensity had lowered due to strong wind shear but had brought significant impacts across the Florida Peninsula. Milton brought several large, and destructive tornadoes. There were at least 46 confirmed tornadoes. Milton’s strong winds were experienced along West-Central Florida and Central Florida. This caused significant damage, most notable along Tampa Bay where Tropicana Field had lost lots of its fiberglass roofing. Rainwater flooding was also noticeable along Central Florida, such as Orlando. Milton was the 6th costliest storm in the Atlantic Basin dating back to 1851 with nearly $85 billion in damages.

Today is the last day of 2024 Hurricane Season. Nothing to monitor. Good riddance!

11/29/2024

The tale of 3 seasons in a day… Some Floridians along the Panhandle will experience their first freeze of the season tonight as temperatures from a cold front are going to drop into the 30s. Some along the Panhandle will reach an air temperature of 32° or lower which will be harmful to crops and your pets. Bring the pets inside and cover plants or crops in the event temperatures do reach 32° or lower.

However, today’s temperatures along North FL and the Panhandle will be in the 50s and 60s due to cloud cover and some showers ongoing. Cloudy skies are anticipated. Along Central and South Florida, temperatures will be warm and partly cloudy skies are expected.

Have a good day!

Yep! 🦃

Happy Thanksgiving! We’ve got a warm one today with high temperatures in the upper 70s and lower 80s across much of the state. Showers and thunderstorms are possible this morning and afternoon along the Panhandle and Northern Florida ahead of a cold front. Some storms could be severe, witn strong winds or a tornado being possible. If you are along the Panhandle or Northern Florida and have outdoor plans, continue the outdoor plans but have that indoor plan ready as well and keep an eye out for the sky today.

Have a good day!

11/27/2024

Looking ahead to tonight and Thanksgiving, there will be some severe weather chances for tonight and into tomorrow ahead of a cold front. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms are anticipated to develop along the Panhandle and Big Bend.

For those along the Panhandle and Big Bend who have outdoor plans, continue on but keep an eye on the skies and have the indoor plans as an alternative. The main threats for severe weather are strong winds and there is a potential for a tornado or two to develop.

Elsewhere across the state, partly cloudy skies are expected with temperatures in the 70s and 80s.

11/26/2024

After a rather cool few days, we are warming up again and for the warm-weather lovers, you’ll love it. Upper 70s and lower 80s expected across the Peninsula and portions of the Panhandle. There will be a slight chance for a few showers this afternoon and evening along the Panhandle due to a front stalling. But elsewhere across the state, mostly sunny to partly cloudy skies expected.

Have a good day!

Earlier this morning, SpaceX had their Falcon 9 rocket launch and created some nice noctilucent clouds. These clouds are nearly 200,000-300,000 feet up and in the mesosphere and are rather pretty to view. Captured around 6am despite the launch occurring at 5am.

Great weather is expected once again today across the state and as you have noticed these past few days. Temperatures are going to be starting to warm up as the influence of the cold front are going away. But there will be another cold front arriving around Thanksgiving, but won't feel the full effects until after Thanksgiving and that Friday.

But for now, enjoy the sunshine and slightly cooler temperatures! We will see lows drop to the 40s and 50s across the state with clear skies.

Have a good day!

11/21/2024

Yep! 😂

11/20/2024

The strongest cold front of the season is almost here but first we've got the showers ongoing along the Peninsula. This area of showers have considerably weakened compared to last night, and coverage is not as widespread as anticipated. Today will still remain rather warm but by tonight, we will see temperatures drop to the 40s north and 50s and 60s the farther south you go.

Have a good day!

11/19/2024

Some much needed rain is falling along the Panhandle this afternoon thanks to the remnants of Sara, and is going to continue to move toward the east this afternoon and evening. This rain will bring up to 1-2” in some spots and occasional gusty winds.

But this line will continue to move along the Peninsula tonight and on Wednesday and not expecting much in terms of severe weather with this on Wednesday.
