LIGHTNING HAS BEEN STRIKING OUT 50 MILES FROM THUNDERHEAD THIS MORNING
Generally speaking lightning strikes usually 30 to 35 miles ahead of a thunderhead but this storm has plenty of energy to produce strikes further out.
This is why if you see lightning or hear thunder at at a distance you should head indoors.

HEAVY RAINS HEADED FOR FLORIDA
Low pressure from the Gulf I been talking about here on this blog is headed for the Southern Peninsula of Florida tonight and Tuesday.
This low could bring heavy rains and thunderstorms with the potential for possible localized flooding as it trains over the same area late tonight, and on Tuesday.
With the development of thunderstorms there is always a chance for some cells to turn severe...RTW

SOME MODELS STILL HINTING STORMY WEATHER FOR FLORIDA NEXT WEEK
Still monitoring the models for possible development of a weak low pressure disturbance coming out of the western Gulf from the tail end of the winter storm tracking east.
The arrival of this storminess if at all will be mid next week.
There is nothing significant showing up on models at this time, but this system could produce heavy downpours, Gusty winds and maybe some strong to severe storms.
It's is all questionable at this time but I will keep watching...RTW

QUESTIONABLE GULF LOW DEVELOPMENT NEXT WEEK
Seems like the GFS model has backed off some in developing a low. In the Gulf but it still shows rain and maybe storms crossing the southern half of Florida.
I also reviewed the EURO model which also shows a trough, the tail end of the Storm tracking east across the street U.S..
This model shows a possible line of rain and storms.
The Canadian model also shows a line of rain and storms. My only question would be how strong will these storms will be if indeed they do materialize and track over the area.
I will keep monitoring model run during the next few days...RTW

GFS STILL SHOWING GULF STORM HEADED TOWARDS FLORIDA
GFS still hinting at a low pressure system maybe a depression coming out of the southern Gulf.
Yesterday's model run suggested a track across central Florida but this model run is further south. Future model run will more than likely flip flop to the north and south until it pin points where this so called future low crosses the state. Still speculative if at all this will form, so I will continue to monitor it for subtropical or tropical formation into early next week. Check back daily and check my blog for updates...RTW
