In Deerfield Beach (SE FL) : It's 76, it feels like 76! Welcome relief from the heat. It's not raining (at the moment) however, it's been raining non-stop since about 12:20am. Pressure is 29.95 & rising. Completely cloudy and winds out of the west at about 7mph. It's a nice day, albeit a wet one!

NL, no, it won't. Projected landfall is near Jacksonville but straddling the coast the entire way; we'll have to see if that plays out or if future track changes are warranted. Haven't had the chance to look myself, though. Many other storms have hit that area in the past, but it is rare to see something major that way...based off of climatology, they are probably overdue. (That is in no way saying that this will do that, by the way.)

thats florida for you. Maybe the meteorologists should just forecast rain everyday, then when it rains no one will complain. They'll just be happy when it doesn't

Speaking of being past due, Coastal Georgia's last major hurricane was in 1898. They did receive a glancing blow from Dora.

Inland Volusia County (~30 miles west of Daytona)- 75°, light gusts and sporadic showers- the rain seems to be duying a bit as it gets this far inland.
Temps feel great after the string of 90's, though.

Here at work (Vero Beach) it has been pouring off and on all day. Maybe I'll cross the street to check out the waves this afternoon. According to my son's surfing friend, he's looking forward to catching some waves. Typical.

Amazing the difference a few hours can make..
Here in Deerfield Beach...it's still very overcast/cloudy. Hasn't rained now in couple of hours. It's gotten a bit warmer  81 & feels warmer...humidity is up for sure. It's really sticky outside. Winds have changed direction (earlier they were out of the W at 7mph) and picked up a touch, they're now out of N/NW at 10mph.
Anywho, leaving a touch early to pick up the kids as everyone down here suddenly forgets how to drive when the roads are wet.

I'm in Tampa and although we have had a fairly good breeze all day, it seems to be getting a bit stronger. No rain, just clouds and wind.

On the barrier islands near MLB, drizzle, occasional light showers and squally, on occasion.
Wind gusts to 15kts or so from the N/NE.
Will check out the surf and post later. We have had a horrible couple of years for beach erosion, don't need any more.

BTW--Been a long time lurker, but in the midst of such great weather minds, never felt qualified to comment. But hey, I can stick my finger out the window and pass on the information!

Here in Melrose (northwestern corner of Putnam County - about 20 miles east of Gainesville), it's been windy all day. Started raining about 1:00 this afternoon, and it seems to me that the winds have picked up quite a bit. We're already under a flood watch (for small streams) in this area until Thursday morning, possibly to be extended based on the actual track of TD 16.

Here on the beach occas heavy showers and drizzle in between - reminds me of New England - but slightly too warm. Has anyone noticed the Southerly shear seems to be pushing convection N away from circulation center since sundown

My family down in Indiatlantic Florida told that they`ve had some fairly good showers and gusty winds through out the last 24 hours. I`m up in Charleston SC on business and here the winds are out of the NE 15 -20 mph with 20 -30 mph beachside and a sprinkle or two. From the looks of the radar out of Melbourne , it looks like the center is almost due east of the Cape. People up here in SC are keeping an eye this storm just in case it decides to head north instead of doing the loop that some models are suggesting and head back toward Florida which I don`t want to happen......Weatherchef

We're having strong rain bands coming thu now in St. Augustine. Flooding downtown has made some roads impassable- police have closed parts of King St. leading to US1. A big limb came down on Codova St. downtown, and our cable TV signal is off and on since last night.

Heavy rain in Satellite Beach at the moment. With the same steady fairly light gusts winds. If this is as bad as we get from Ophelia I'll be a happy man.

At the beach in New Smyrma, wind is steady probably around 20-30mph. Occasionally gusts higher, rain is steady now, but not overly heavy. Looks like a band is nearing that may be a little stronger though.
Water is up to the seawall here, but at dark its hard to tell. Earlier it was and it was low tied. I've seen it worse here though. So overall not too bad, not pleasant, but not too bad.
