Gulf Low Pressure Could Stir Up Severe Storms This Sunday

Monitoring Forecast Models For Possible Severe Storms Sunday -

The latest weather forecast computer models have continued to come into better agreement the last day or so, that a strong surface low pressure system will organize in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico sometime around Sunday. Some of the models develop a 990mb low and then track it northeastward up the Mid-Atlantic coast, and at the same time putting much of Florida in the warm sector of the system with possible strong to severe storms ahead of the trough boundary. It’s still too early to know how much moisture and warm air modification of the atmosphere over Florida will take place over the weekend, but if there is a decent rebound of dew points through the Friday and Saturday, we could be looking at some severe weather possibilities Sunday-Monday timeframe. It will be interesting to watch the next several model runs to see if the trends continue for a late November severe weather setup over central and Southern Florida.

Late Season Florida Storm Chasing Possible -

If severe storms become a threat late in the weekend, I’ll be sure to be out on the road in search of some late season rotating storms. What Storm Chaser can pass up a late season severe weather setup before heading into those nil winter thunderstorm months. Here’s to some nice moisture rebounding this weekend! This could all take place on November 30^th, which also marks the last day of the 2008 Atlantic basin hurricane season. So, while Floridians sigh in relief that the season came to a close with no land falling hurricanes in 2008, there could be some strong severe storms to tend with, but the rain will be very welcomed.

More to come over the extended Thanksgiving holiday weekend on this possible developing storm system. Happy Thanksgiving!
