VIGOROUS PRECIPITATION NOW CONTINUES IN BANDS OF A V FORM ON BOTH SIDES OF THE WAVE OVER THE CARIBBEAN. PRECIPITABLE WATER HAS INCREASED TO 2.38 INCHES SO THE ATMOSPHERE IS VERY MOIST. RADAR CONTINUES TO SUGGEST THAT THERE IS NO CLOSED CIRCULATION SO WILL NOT EXPECT DEVELOPMENT INTO A TROPICAL DEPRESSION OVERNIGHT.

San Juan Radar is indicating at least one, if not two, areas of circulation in the rain and thunderstorms.
One is indicated South of the Mona Passage (SW Puerto Rico) and the other, just off the NW shore of Puerto Rico.
The southern circulation appeared to have more convective type precipitation. And the area on the northern side of Puerto Rico appeared to be more stratiform type precipitation.
Aquadilla and Ponce are reporting lightning this hour.
San Juan, Charlotte Amalie-St. Thomas, and Christiansted are reporting light rain.
Charlotte Amalie and Christiansted were noted to have backing winds over the last few hours.

Does anyone have a link for long range radars out of PR?
Nevermind, I guess I should have googled it before asking the questions.

Watching 92L for the past several days, it doesn't appear to be organizing at all. If it brings some rain over Florida that would be welcomed. It's been a very dry Jully in most areas.

A MIDDLE TO UPPER LEVEL CYCLONIC
CIRCULATION CENTER IS JUST OFF THE SOUTHWESTERN TIP OF FLORIDA.
EXPECT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FOR THE REST OF THE DAY IN
SOUTH FLORIDA...IN THE STRAITS OF FLORIDA...AND NEAR THE BAHAMAS.
Are they referring to the blob on the eastern tip of Florida or are the satellites behind on the update?

We get a thunder storm here almost every day,with brief heavy rain.And given how much rain we got in May and June,we do not need any rain.

The Tampa Bay area is above normal for the year so far - slightly below normal for July.

On the first day of hurricane season here in Hollywood, FL., we were down 6.65 inches of precipitation below normal for the year. By July, we made that deficit up and were actually a quarter of an inch above normal, which is basically where we stand now on the last day of the second month of the season.

We're a bit above average here in Pensacola too.....28.5 inches above average! We certainly don't need any more rain..until maybe Christmas. The good thing is that 92L's circulation is very near the Hispanola coast and formation looks like a long shot for the next 24 hours.

Georges was 1998 - Not 1997. I say that because i was working for an insurance company in Sarasota at the time and me and a few other guys had to drive to Venice to rent ryder trucks. The company wanted to pack up all their important stuff. I worked at this place in 1998, and if memory serves i believe it was August when Georges skimmed our coast and headed north towards Pensacola/Mobile.

Looking like old 93L which fizzled yesterday is starting to come back to life. Recon may check it out tomorrow:
ANOTHER WELL-DEFINED TROPICAL WAVE...LOCATED A FEW HUNDRED MILES
EAST OF THE SOUTHERN WINDWARD ISLANDS...IS MOVING WESTWARD AT 20-25
MPH. SHOWER ACTIVITY WITH THIS WAVE HAS BECOME MORE CONCENTRATED
DURING THE LAST 24 HOURS...AND UPPER-LEVEL WINDS ARE SOMEWHAT
FAVORABLE FOR SLOW DEVELOPMENT. AN AIR FORCE RESERVE UNIT
RECONNAISSANCE AIRCRAFT WILL BE AVAILABLE TO INVESTIGATE THIS
SYSTEM TOMORROW AFTERNOON...IF NECESSARY.
As far as 92L is concerned, shear pretty much tore it apart and looks like it will be heading in the general direction of the bahamas as an open wave during the next few days. Overall looks like a relatively quiet weekend on hand.

I'm not sure 92L is dead yet. The latest runs of and the show the remains of 92L making it into the Gulf. even shows it becoming a major storm right off the west coast of Florida.

93L has no west wind with it. Moreless a east and north wind, hard to see but maybe a south wind. Cant get any ship reports from there. Anything if any does develop will be very slow. There is no model support for this as of 12Z.
92L again wont develop untill Sunday( if at all) as the upper low to its NNW is moving WSW. By later tomorrow the shear will become ventilation as a ridge forms over or just east of 92L. As 92L slows down near the Turks it could become better organized. and some want to take a piece of this and take it NE towards bermuda by mid week. While also taking it west across florida Tuesday. Whatever is near the bahamas or south of there will be pushed west into the gulf with the ridge over N florida.

I live on west coast of florida, south of Tampa and we are above average in rainfall. As a matter of fact, we have been under a flood watch/warning for a while now. Well, every other day they say we are under a watch and or warning. It doesn't take much rain for the manatee river in myakka city to flood and of course there is Lake Manatee and it's reservoir. The last two to three years we have been doing well in the rain department - time or a lull!

I just checked the forecast discussion for my area and it says two tropical waves will make their way through the southern part of the state mid week....says nothing of them being too frisky.

Thanks for the link. The Ft. Myers ten-day forecast shows slightly lower temperatures beginning Tuesday of next week, but the chance of rain has not gone up. Here's hoping that doesn't change. We don't need any more rain here. We're already 9 inches over our normal precipitation levels.

Just matters where you live in florida for needed rain. Little Manatee River floods all the time down there. I dont think your under a floodwatch but anytime it rains that could happen.
