toad strangler Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I would imagine someone has to be closing in on 10" in Brevard County at this time. We are now up over 4" IMBY. I'm wondering if we can make a run at the October 24hr rainfall record at MCO. The record stands at 5.84 and unofficially I saw they were already over 3.50. I am over 5 inches since the onset of this mess. MBY got the advanced amounts starting yesterday. Average October totals for my area are under 2 inches. So ...... big time score and potentially much more to come into Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FXW176 Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Oh and a pool pic. I have to go out and drain the pool as it is about to overflow. Nice. I'm in Longwood this week and I've thoroughly enjoyed watching my Aunt's backyard turn into a swamp: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akeem the African Dream Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 Officialy 4.49" so far at MCO and still pouring. This is a new daily precip record. With lots of rain still to come the October daily record is almost sure to fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocala Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 I'm approaching 1 inch up here. Not bad considering last October I had a goose egg for the whole month. Nothing heavy just continuous light rain with occasional rumbles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icebreaker5221 Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Up to 5.31" in Miami so far for the event, if we include last night's precip before midnight. Looks like the current band of precip may be letting up a little, but more showers are moving in from the SE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CandymanColumbusGA Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 The rain held off for the wedding this afternoon on the west coast!!! Sarasota to be exact. It was REALLY windy though. Gustiest winds I've experienced in quite sometime. Within the last hour alone there was a gust of 35 mph! Here's hoping something fun develops while I'm on vacation here The light rain started about an hour ago. Hoping for at least an inch or more for my parents lawn!

toad strangler Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 The best rains since I moved to FL in October 2009. This is proving to be a HUGE dagger in the heart of our drought and continues to eat away at the years deficits. I am quickly approaching THREE TIMES the average October output with this system alone and it is not over by a long stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ocala Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Looking at the cocorahs totals this morning it's averaging about 5-8 inches with one location in Indian River at 9.90. That's from 7AM yesterday to 7AM today. Edit to add a station in Brevard recorded 12.07.! That's a lot of rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akeem the African Dream Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 6.16 offiicially at MCO on Saturday. Both a new daily record and I am all but certain an October record (i believe the record was 5.84). High yesterday was only 71. I think this may be a new record low maximum. Waiting on the record reports from MLB to confirm. Rain has started this morning and some heavy bands are about to start making their way thru. The pool is getting close to be needing to be drained a second time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wi_fl_wx Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Got nailed on Friday night here in Coral Gables. A nice microburst came through in our neighborhood, knocking down a 6"+ tree limb in front of our apartment. Fortunately, it missed my car, barely. A truck on the next block wasn't so lucky, as a big palm trunk blew over. The damage diameter was only about 10 blocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downeastnc Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Gusting to near 60 at Patrick Air Force base but seems pretty localized most places seem to be sustained 20-30 gusting to 40-45. That heavier bnand offshore could be pretty nasty though I would love to be on the beach when it hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypatia Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 The wind here is pretty gusty... looks like the low pressure center will cross the coast just a hair to my north... I think this is edging out Irene's outer rainbands as the most interesting tropical weather this summer IMBY (sad, I know). There's also quite a bit of lightning in that strong band off shore... I'm excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaWx Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Pressures are sig. lower than were progged by all model runs except, interestingly enough, those THU/FRI GFS runs I posted showing a pretty well organized low moving NNW not far from where the low is now. The lowest pressure on those THU/FRI runs was 1,003 mb (and 1,000 mb on a Wed. run as it headed further NNW toward GA). The lowest is now down at least as low as 1,003 mb and is moving either NW or NNW! It will be interesting to see how this evolves. At the very least, it appears to me that the GFS, which was mostly on its own with its E of FL pretty well organized sfc low, is suddenly looking like a guru!! Check out the conditions at a buoy at 28.5 N, 80.2 W, which is ~50 miles E of Cape Canaveral **note the 3.4 mb/0.10" fall in pressure during just the last hour!** Also, note the 4 F temp. rise from 73 F to 77 F. Also, note the SST of 82 F there...plenty warm enough to allow for tropical development: STATION/POSITION TEMP WIND PRES WAVE SWELL AIR SEA DIR/SP/G HT/PER HT/PER (F) (DEG/KT/KT) (MB) (FT/S) (FT/S) 6 PM 28.5N 80.2W 74 82 10/ 31/ 39 1008.6F 20/12 16/12 7 PM 28.5N 80.2W 73 82 10/ 39/ 47 1006.8F 19/11 15/11 8 PM 28.5N 80.2W 77 82 20/ 41/ 54 1003.4F 22/11 18/11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ocala Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 3:00 this morning when I left for work it was pretty cool. The low passed pretty close to the house. Bottomed out 1002MB. Crazy lightning, wind, and rain. My anemometer only recorded a gust of 18 mostly cause I live in the woods. However when I got on the road it was blowing pretty good. Total rain for the storm was 3.65. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

usedtobe Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 The GFS really wets up Florida with another big rainfall event. Looks like Okeechobee will easily top 12 feet and if the GFS is correct probably also will top 13. That's good news for the lake and the people who make a living on the lake.
