I hope it is a CAT 1 or 2 and stalls northwest of me for days and brings me 40" of rain to make up for 4 years of nothing. But not gonna happen as the upper levels won't allow for anything real strong. Maybe at least bail out this month on rainfall.

I never had a year this dry everrrrr. Not even 18". I remember all the rain in the winter of 1998 and BOOM we went dry in Apr of 98 till 2003. I was in Tampa then.

Well, I hope you get some good rain out of this whatever it'll be, but the last thing SW Florida needs right now is anything real strong.

Oh wow, that's a great site. Thanks for posting it.


Fast little storm. One day off the coast of Tampa, the next day off the coast of North Carolina.

I need one of these for every other week to make up for this dry year. My guess is 3" if that.

I have a nasty feeling the thing will get a little too strong and go more north and i won't get jack for rain. Love to see it be lop sided and stall and give me days of rain but just won't happen as forward speed will get faster as it is sucked up in a front or dig down.

South Miami-Dade hasn't had rain for a couple of days now. Wow! Maybe LKJ's influence is spreading down here!
