|
|
This is the place to discuss what you see where you are, and conditions/closing/events in your area related to Isaac.
In Orlando, near Universal Studios, it's quiet tonight.

A little weather blowing in right now. FPL power doing its usual quick blink with the power. Sure wasn't expecting rain so soon. NWS said "partly cloudy" for tonight. Is is the far reaches of Isaac already? Naw, it can't be. We're too far away, right?

Hey all.
My wife and 16 month old daughter are in Lake Mary.
I know the standard disclaimers, but they're due to return midday Monday... What are the odds of airport closures?
Right now it looks a little close for comfort (size of storm, strengthening likely, and track of storm).
Greetings from MD 
Mid-day Monday could get dicey since Isaac will probably be southwest of Sanibel Island (off shore) at that time. NHC expects the storm to gain forward speed so my earlier thoughts on a Tuesday event for central Florida are likely to become a Monday event. Best to have them check with the airlines.

Re: Isaac Conditions in your Area
|

I am awaking this morning to see Isaac further north and looks to have moved more NNW for a time slipping through eastern portions of the passage. Getting a little concerned about south FL given it looks to take a track along the north coast of Cuba maybe just clipping northeastern portions before heading over water. Today should bring a better idea about Issac s track at least to respects of whether it moves into the Keys or clips across south FL. I still see no changes to my thinking of a track near Keywest then NNW from there up the west coast into the Big bend area. However seeing Issac has done well with its land interactions or lack there of it only ups the chances that this may very well be stronger then a Cat 1 in eastern Gulf.

Re: Isaac Conditions in your Area

walked my neighborhood which is adjacent to the Manatee river. High tide, but the river seemed very full and all the natural drainage streams that flow into it have water consistent with a recent hard rain...and no rain here in a couple of days. High tide (2.6') each of the next two days coincides with predicted passage of the storm, at hurricane strength, only 50 or so miles west...With the two most recent TS's to affect us we had a 3+ bubble of water back up the river and all drainage streams which caused sudden flooding. I fear it will be twice that bad and that an extra 5-7' of water suddenly backing up the river is a real threat here...also anticipating 10+ hours of gale conditions (intermittent) and 6-10" of rain...sounds like fun...

Higher tides and possibly higher storm surges in the GOM.

Re: Isaac Conditions in your Area

An intense (if somewhat brief) squall just passed through Palm City (^20 miles north of Jupiter). Intermittent rain/breeziness overnight, but just now had 10 minutes of strong (35-45mph) winds, torrential downpour, lightning. the whole nine yards. It's still windy and wet out, but the line/band seems to have mostly gone through. Hardest rain since early yesterday AM.

Vero Beach here. some good rain bands this morning....though not raining as of 0800.
some gusty winds....we're seeing 20-25MPH periods. Otherwise just breezy it "feels" like the storm is coming.
we're looking forward to a messy day here with heavy rain, strong, gusty winds but no major activations (shelters, school closings, etc) however that can change. I have the Red Cross regional call at 10...we'll see if we have any changes. i'll report back as long as we have power.

Re: Isaac Conditions in your Area

Isaac is strengthening and the rain area is expanding rapidly over the lower half of the peninsula. Here in northern Manatee it is now light rain and frisky winds, but radar indicates heavier rain and bands of hard rain are closing in. Depending on the north to west ratio of the motion of the storm and the strength, this could go on for quite a while. I have not seen a storm so far away generate so much weather since Donna in 1960, and I have experienced more than a few. If this were better organized ....

It's perfect here...not a cloud in the sky...Warm Springs, GA...northeast breeze and dew points in the low 60s...nice by August standards! Back to reality! I finally got my grlevelx3 radar software up and running...the center is definitely left of forecast track and likely not to cross the Florida Keys other than maybe Dry Tortugas (grew up down there in both Key West and Marathon). Not much of anything on the south half of the circulation. I have saw tweets out of the NWSFO there that wind gusts are 70 mph.

Re: Isaac Conditions in your Area

A few blustery rain bands here in Plant City, but we seem to have been missed by the stronger weather in the 2 bands that have gone through. Almost dead calm right now. Headed to a Tea Party Rally (never been and I am curious) so I am hoping the local weather holds for a bit :-)

Re: Isaac Conditions in your Area

Worst of it was around 8AM in my area (NW of Ft Laud, near Coral Springs). Had some winds whipping around, maybe gusting to 35-40 mph and HARD rain. After that the rest of the day was just breezy 25-30 mph winds with off and on rain, mostly light to moderate. Actually catching a flight out FLL now and its just overcast with sprinkles.

Winds out of the NE at about 15-20; gusts low 30s. Light rain.
We've had very little precip throughout the day and only moderate winds.
Thankful this one will pass well to our west; our prayers to our neighbors along the Northern Gulf.

Well its 1:36 am. Im on the edge of this feeder band wroking up through jupiter,hobe sound,out west palm city.
The band apeears to making it way towards me i can see it just over the river, the clouds are pratically on the ground and moving fast almost funnel like but sideways. There is lots of lighting that is so high in the sky, then followed by thunder 2 rumbles a minute, beautifull light show. At about 1:00 am as the edge of the band aproached the wind went dead and now for the last half hour the clouds are just training over head in an arch across town, and winds shift from east to west then back east at like 5 miles an hour, this is much diffrent then the 30+ we have been getting here all day.

Mostly quiet here in Pinellas County. A few quick showers with winds running from 5 - ~20/25mph. Total rainfall for the past 24 hours is 1.10" here at my house. I guess it's the benefits of being in the dry air wedge.

VERY wet and windy day here in Vero Beach (Treasure Coast). 5.02 inches of rain just since midnight (more than 4 inches fell over a 2 hour period around mid-day). Flooding everywhere. Max wind speeds (sustained) reached 28 mph, with gusts up to 45 mph.
Tornado touched down in Vero Palm Estates and Countryside just west of Vero; evidently took out the front of the post office on State Road 60. Schools in the county were on lock-down for several hours due to the tornado and torrential winds/rainfall--some kids didn't even get to go to lunch and had to be escorted one at a time through the deluge to the restrooms (several are not connected to the main buildings). There were periods of sideways rain that drove rain through the windows of SE-facing classrooms. Luckily the rain bands pushed offshore just before dismissal.

Re: Isaac Conditions in your Area

25-35 mph all day out of the East here in Mayberry By the Sea, seems 50% of the energy of this system stretches up 30 miles wide of Fla east coastline from Miami to the Cape all PM, the main band at 5 pm no signs of cessation for the evening, all nighter will be 4-6 inches here by sunrise. Better be moving stuff to the second shelf up the Mississippi, especially if NO winds up in the 2 o'clock position.
Good Luck up there, another one next weekend in the islands if the CMC and Bermuda high are 7 day predictable

Re: Isaac Conditions in your Area

Looking at Tampa Bay long range radar and satellite loops, it appears that the persistent rain along the East Coast of FL is becoming detached from Isaac's circulation. A new band seems to be forming over West Central FL, extending over the Nature Coast, and into the Gulf. Running a 30 frame loop of the visible spectrum on the GOES-14 site is quite impressive.

Port St. Lucie, FL
Aug. 27, 2012
Emptied 4.4 inches early today. When I finally made it home looks like about 7-8 inches in gauge. Will empty in morning. Power out at house about 5 hours. Much flooding with retention ponds and canals overvlowing. A real mess trying to find a way home. Son's car safe but trapped by deep water in all directions about a quarter mile away.
Wind, lightening, and rolling thunder. Tornado warnings and many homes damaged north of here in Vero Beach area. Reported that much of area along coast from Palm Beach to Indian River counties received 10 inches of rain. Worked trying to mitigate the water comming in to buildings, parking lots overflowing, etc. I got wet . Heck of a day. Nice to be home.

pounding weather today here in Vero Beach. more flooding on main streets than we saw for Frances and Jeanne in 2004. Tornado damage on route 60 in Countryside Estates. About 20 families homes were heavily damaged. Red Cross opened a shelter and temporarily housed one client....due to medical needs we transferred her to the hospital.
weather seems to be clearing now (8pm) and hopefully the worst is behind us by far.
