Quoting GeorgiaStormz:


that must have been a cool experience

It really was... The summit is only 635 ft, but eastern MA is so flat it feels like you're on top of the world... We saw a bunch of showers and storms develop, visibility was 65-75 miles all day.

Quoting LargoFl:
..at night..gators swimming up the street too?..it could happen..snakes too, the swampy areas are all flooded

Gators?? I know during Katrina they had sharks in the flooded waters..

Also for the second day in a row Denver tied it's all time High temperature, crazy!

NWS Denver/Boulder
All Time Record High Temperature of 105F in Denver Tied Again!

At 2:23 PM MDT Tueday, June 26th, the temperature at Denver International Airport reached 105 degrees, breaking the old record for this date of 104 degrees set in 1994. This reading also ties the ALL time record high temperature ever recorded in Denver which was also reached on June 25, 2012, July 20, 2005 and August 8, 1878.

This also marks five consecutive days of 100+ heat in Denver, tying that record as well (July 4-8, 1989 & July 19-23, 2005).

im certainly no expert. but looking at radar, i see a definite spin or circulation of sort just south of jacksonville. is it possible that a new COC could be forming? it almost lies in the middle of that big blowup of convection on the NE side of the current COC

The new West Pac storm is organizing nicely...

Alligators...Sharks...Snakes...

My mom is coming home tomorrow.

these are more dangerous because they are less visible:



But how would you like to run into this in a flood?:

A lot like yesterday yes, but now yesterday's blob is blocking today's blob from moving east as quickly as yesterday's did. Will this blob of energy move quickly enough east to stop Debby from using this energy to fill in and strengthen? I think we'll see a strengthening storm soon enough. I just hope for Florida's sake it's off to sea and not coming back for seconds.

I just want to say that I know a lot of people have been talking about people bashing the NHC, mets, other bloggers, etc about the "blown forecast of Debby" but what I will personally remember about Debby is what a great comfort it was for me being alone with 3 dogs and only moved here in Dec. oh, and did I mention that while I have been a "flippin' Floridan :) my whole life (56 years) I have always lived more inland while longing for the beach. I was sitting here on a barrier island across the street from the Gulf but I had people here feeding me current info and visuals and many people going through the same or similar or have been there before. I also enjoyed the humor during the stressful hours even the trolls did not diminish the experience for me and I know that is saying a lot :) Nothing is perfect not man or his machines :) but I want to say thank you to everyone here for being here with me and what a cool weather experience it was!



and we will be here to do it again the next time as well

wow great pics there

If you look closely at this 18z GFS loop, you can trace the wave now in Eastern Atlantic all the way to the Texas/Mexico border.

thanks for update doc

I'll take ants over an alligator or poisonous snake any day. Although, I imagine they could be dangerous in their own right. I'm sure they could easily kill a small animal if they hit it.

Quoting LargoFl:

..looking at that radar, looks to be sinking down the state dont it

Quoting LargoFl:
yes there are warnings out

Thank you for your answer,what kind of warnings??,wind,rain,flood? we have to go to a event tonight.

TA13 great to hear your Mom's home!

Quoting GeorgiaStormz:
Just saw on ABC that snakes arent the only flooding problem
There are also floating balls of what looked like ants in distress that wait untill they hit an object, like a boot or a leg, and they explode into action, climbing up the leg and biting.
OUCH....

Those are likely fire ants...wretched, nasty, vicious things. Seriously, they swarm all over you and leave blisters when they bite. Definitely a hazard in flood water. Be careful out there. Link

I have a feeling we're about to start seeing some central FL tornado warnings with a nasty band moving in.

i take the snake
Alligator is too big and i cant bear the thought of hundreds of ants crawling all over me and biting, expecially when you didnt see them coming.

When Fran hit NC and we were listening to the radio and people were calling in with reports of damage, I remember one lady calling in asking for help because she had so many snakes in her yard and she wanted OUT of her house because she was afraid they were going to get in....

those critters panic as well and try to find shelter from these approaching storms

All this moisture off the SE coast is still associated with Debby. It may not be part of her currently, but yesterday's blob is connected to the squall lines east of Florida that run all the way south of Cuba. Today's blob is feeding off yesterday's blob, and it's all connected to the main spinning wheel which is Debby. Now Debby has really no choice but to run into this energy and essentially become a stronger storm as the actual body of Debby fills in. This is a very long way from over.

Probably more likely that the storm has decoupled due to strong shear. (Haven't had a chance to look at it yet, but just based on how it was looking earlier..)

Will Debbie be a retired name?

if that forms in the lower gulf. please send it where they need the rain, texas would be good

Could this be like Fay, that landfall caused the system to become stacked, and at strenthened?

I have. It sucks. A lot.

18z Nogaps

Debby won't be retired unless she strengthens again, turns around, and hits Florida again. Then the flooding would be epic and she'd likely be retired. I think if she would have meandered until Saturday over Florida like she was predicted to do yesterday, then she'd of had a good chance. They may retire her simply to never have to deal with a Debby again.

Well it may not be decoupled yet, but the circulation is definitely tilted SW to NE.
