May 2011...Rainfall fell a little short for Miami we
should had at least 6 inches in Miami only received several
inches.. The deeper tropical moisture tried to make it
up to south florida but not making a good presence..
Average Monthly temperatures were above normal and the
climate guidance did make that prediction which was slightly
underdone.

June 2011..There are indications on the short range models
at least to some confidence that we will see some tropical
moisture coming up for late this week toward Thursday and
the weekend. The climate outlook shows about 7 to 11 inches
for Central South Florida that is if all the tropical moisture
now in the Western Caribbean comes up toward florida.
 
There is a weak low pressure area trying to get going down
there..if it stays weak in development the lower level
steering winds looks to bring some deeper moisture up here.
With mid upper low or trough just to our west over the Eastern
Gulf of Mexico both systems if timed right will help
force up more of the tropical moisture despite more stubborn
high pressure in the Southwest Atlantic and the Eastern
United States trying to shove moisture around Florida or back
south of our area. Traditionally some years the rainy season
started late April and some years mid June when tropical
moisture was present to our south.
 
July outlook im working on the updates..preliminary numbers
shows 5 to 6 inches for Central South Florida for the month 
now..slightly below normal..1 to 2 inches.

June 2011...There are indications on the short range models
at least to some confidence that we will see some tropical
moisture finall coming up for late this week toward Friday
and the weekend. The climate outlook shows about 7 to 11 inches
for Central South Florida that is if all the tropical moisture
now in the Western Caribbean comes up toward florida.
 
The GFs model shows slower movement toward The eastern Gulf and
the NAM more agressive model shows moving toward Florida..either
way the moisture and tropical rains looks to come our way. We
could even see a low pressure area developing tropical in nature
to move into the Florida and Eastern Gulf by the weekend..

July 2011...numbers look respectable now for rainfall for the month
of July about 1 inch above normal after running model which also
I took into consideration the month of June rainfall prediction..
basically about 4 to 8 inches or rainfall above normal for the south
and a little lower farther north (Tampa).
 
Overall not bad with chances for rain..hope to ease somewhat the
dry conditions. In some cases the rainy season can turn things
around and really get a dumping of rain..these rainfall predictions
may be lower than what actually we get since tropical systems
can bring a good amount of rain for several days or more..

Area Weather Discussion
Palm Beach County, Central - South  FL
830 A.M. EST Sunday June 12, 2011
 
Use my discussion as supplemental input or information along with
official discussions.
 
Latest analysis shows low level moisture remaining over our area
from weak low pressure that passed to our south and east of
Palm Beach County Saturday.
 
There is an upper trough swinging down the state from the north and
with enhanced seabreeze front developing today for scattered storms.
The steering winds are weak so very slow moving to nearly stationary
developing storms today some with heavy downpours strong gusty
winds possible. Any developing inland will try to slowly drift ESE.
NAM Model shows distinct higher QPF values or heavy rain potential
in storms the next 2-3 days along eastern side Florida peninsula 
west of all metro areas from the Palm Beach County area northward
across just east of the lake side into the treasure coast and space
coast. Treasure coast and space coast highest QPF (Quantitative
Precip  values.
 
Rainy season having some difficulty to start. Only means to see any
storms to develop is the interaction of any upper troughs and seabreeze
fronts. At least we have seabreeze front to help us get some rainstorms
going during the late afternoon and early evening and the upper trough
lingering around extending from the northern latitudes.
 
No evidence of deep tropical moisture coming up here anytime soon or any
tropical systems to give us any widespread rains yet in the foreseeable future
but as June is noted things can change quite quickly.

=====================================================================
Brief Discussion...It looks like the 2011 Hurricane Season will be a
little bit busier for our grid model box area than last year. Florida
will see a higher amount of activity hence higher risk than last year.
 
Hurricane climate model outlook trend for higher risk of major hurricanes
in the grid box comparing to last year for Eastern Gulf, Florida and
NW Bahamas. The tracks for major hurricanes and Cat 1 and 2 hurricanes 
will be pulled up more from the Western Caribbean this year as compared
to last year where most of the tracks went well south of our area across
Yucatan and well east of us in the Atlantic.
 
Next Update 1st week of August 5th if any changes, for now model has
locked right on into the climate pattern.

Brief Discussion for Outlook.. The model run was based on
using slightly different settings on decision table model
not much but gave me better numbers to work with..In any
case for June 2011 best that I could do for rainfall was
mixed slightly underdone for Miami and slightly overdone on
PBI and Tampa..Average Monthly Temperatures did well for
all stations...The rainy season pattern was struggling to
get going which I believe was partly why the rainfall
numbers were not quite what was expected but these cases
are a few among the 65 years plus data I use for this
model.
 
July and August look confident enough for above normal rainfall.
The NOAA climate outlook for August, September and October does
call for above normal rainfall. It looks like July and August
at least 7-10 inches for South Central Florida. Not bad
for much needed rainfall. Tropical moisture finally making a
more persistent effect on our weather with our more frequent
rain events.
 
Have a Happy 4th of July!
Peace and Prosperity to all.

Mark Lonstein KI4LJM updated the Florida Hamfest and Free Flea listings that I put in the BARC Newsletter.  The only problem is that I received his email 15 minutes after I sent the Newsletter off to our members.   I feel that this is very time sensitive and cannot wait another month to reach our members.

 

So here it is and thank you Mark for researching this information for me.

Any reports of discolored water and fish kills would be appreciated.
There are a lot of these on the SW coast of Fla. recently, and Key
Largo. Reports should get to local park rangers, biologists, etc. and
I will see that the reports get to state scientists.

I am not sure that I can share the bulletins I am receiving about
this. I will see that reports go to the scientists monitoring and
reporting. These things are not much monitored on the SE coast, no
more than air pollution, you know!

Report to me or by this group.

No explantation on Key Largo dead fish, but a public statement is out
on the SW coast. We had alot of rain (fresh water) maybe ultimate
cause.

Wednesday, July 20, 2011

There is currently no indication of a harmful Karenia brevis algal
bloom (Florida red tide) at the
coast in southwest Florida, including the Florida Keys. Discolored
orange to brown water and dead
fish have been reported alongshore northern Collier County from
Vanderbilt Beach to Naples over the
past few days. These reports are associated with blooms of non-toxic
algae and resulting low
dissolved oxygen levels in the water. These non-toxic algae do not
produce respiratory irritation
impacts associated with the Florida red tide caused by Karenia brevis.
The Collier County Pollution
Control & Prevention Department recommends that people exercise
caution when going to the beach as
there are stressed and dying animals in the surf zone that could cause
injury if they were to be
stepped on. No respiratory impacts due to Florida red tide are
expected alongshore southwest
Florida today through Sunday, July 24.

Don last Thursday I fished from the SkyWay Pier,Tampa.  Demolishing of the old pier made it difficult to fish, air hammers, concrete saws and barges moving in & out. No fish to catch except bait fish green backs & pin fish. Tuesday & Wednesday we were on Estero Island, Ft. Meyers FL. No fish problems on the Estero pier or anywhere along San Carlos Pass. I caught 1 flownder 8" threw it back Some Red Snapper being caught no problem.
Fishing problems:
Water temp. to warm
To much rain water mixed in
Fish at deeper depth for cooler water

You are invited to a work party to clean up at Kent KJ4WW's home in
Princeton Saturday 4:00 PM and into the evening.

There was a severe lightning storm on 7/19/11. Kent grounded all his
antennas but one and opened a Skywarn net. Lightning hit starting a
fire.

Refreshments to share. Gloves, old clothes. Garbage bags. We hope for
a pickup or trailer or two would to take some stuff away.

Friday night as a tropical cyclone.

The project at Kent's may become urgent because of the holes in the roof.

Not to cry wolf ... 91L will probably become TS Emily but go to the
east of the Bahamas, not on top of us. I am going to watch it and the
weather around it.

"The longer range computer models show 91L curving to the east of the
Bahamas and then toward the north and northeast late this week."

Well I'm no meteorologist or anything. But after analyzing past storms, the way
I see it, the longer 91L takes to develop as it moves on it's current course,
the more likely it could hit Florida. Usually a weaker storm would hang down by
the Caribbean longer and then move northward as it got stronger and pulled out
by a trough over the US. But as it stays weak that weak attraction to the trough
allows it to stay more southerly. Even if 91L did begin to intensify now, and
move closer to Florida, it would eventually have to cross over Cuba or Haiti and
the Dominican Republic which could inhibit development before reaching us. I
guess we will have to wait and see....

OK, watch very closely!

More later models are pointing to Miami, or depending on the last
