Re: Bahamas and 35N 50W

Hi Bob,

Yes I'm aware of the thunderstorms on May 28 and June 1-2. I did not count them though as they were induced by mid and upper level cold longwave troughing and attendant SE'ward propagating MCC's. The proper definition of the beginning of the Florida rainy season is seabreeze/boundary collision induced thunderstorms with surface to upper level high pressure ridging in the vicinity of or across the state.

As drought alleviating beneficial rainfall for Florida will probably occur in association TUTT/91L I don't see the brief drought/rainy season sub thread as off topic.
