South Florida TropicRain Percept Video Series – Part One
July 02, 2009 -Tranquil South Florida July tropical rains relax the mind on a hot summer day. Florida has seen a extremely rainy wet season since late May, and today was no different. After I rushed to get my lawn cut once again ahead of the afternoon rains, I cooled off with a Ice Coffee, and listened and watched the thunderstorm rains move in. It was very peaceful to just stop and listen to the rolling thunder and watch moderate rains fall over the lush green lawn and palm tree’s.

As seen in the following video, there is a funnel cloud at cloud base, with a medium size circulation on the lake surface tracking southeast. Foreground of the water spout video, you see several Gustnadoes racing south. This video aired on The Weather Channel 6/23-24/09 and ABC’s Good Morning America 6/24/09…Watch Video

June 15, 2009 -I was nowcasting for Jim Edds one again on Monday, and he was able to get in under the wall cloud a few times, but road network to the east kept him having to dive south of the storm. Once the storm reached just north of Pratt, KS, he tried one last time to get into the notch, but the gust front kept blasting in from the northwest. He did film some cool Gustnadoes crossing over the highway just west of Pratt and damaging straight-line winds that made it look more like hurricane conditions than Supercellular…Watch Video
