RAINS AND STORMS FOR FLORIDA WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY MORNING!

A cold front and a developing low in the Gulf of Mexico will drag a prefrontal squall line across the Florida Peninsula Wednesday and Thursday.  

Although most of the models suggest a weak squall line by the time it gets to Southern Florida, some cells could become strong to severe in nature.  Since this is a fast moving line of storms you can't rule out isolated water spouts and tornado in the stronger cells.  

Rain chances have increased to 90 percent tomorrow during the day and 50 percent during the not.

MODELS ONCE AGAIN INSISTING ON LOW IN GULF TO PASS OVER SOUTHERN FLORIDA

Models are flip flopping again, and are once again suggesting that a low associated with a front and squall line that affected Texas over night, will track a low from the the Gulf across Southern Florida Peninsula.  

Most of the models show a broken line of storms and nothing significant at this time.  However, between Wednesday evening and Thursday we can see and increase in showers and storms across the state.  Some of these cells could become strong to severe at times if they hold their energy.  I will continue to monitor this system during the next few days.
