00:00 Boy, some wet weather across Florida as we go through this week as we have yet another
00:04 stalled boundary.
00:06 That's going to be helping focusing some showers and thunderstorms here.
00:10 Again, that boundary stalled across Florida.
00:13 Now north of that boundary, what you have going on are westerly winds, right?
00:18 And that's why you see all of the dry air denoted by the yellow shading from Raleigh
00:23 toward Atlanta, toward Myrtle Beach.
00:25 But boy, south of this boundary is where you have the moisture.
00:28 And along that boundary as well, that's where we're going to see some thunderstorms here.
00:32 Again, the water vapor loop showing you the yellow, the yellow showing the dry air in
00:36 the middle upper part of the atmosphere, the blue and the white showing you where we have
00:39 moisture.
00:40 Where do you have moisture across Florida?
00:42 Where we're going to be dealing with the thunderstorms today.
00:44 Now it's important to note that I think these thunderstorms are going to be more isolated
00:49 as we go through the afternoon.
00:51 They're not going to be widespread, but where they form, they're certainly going to pack
00:55 a punch with some gusty winds and certainly some heavy downpours here mid to late afternoon
01:00 into the evening hours, and then they'll dissipate later on.
01:03 But certainly you see a few clusters here, especially between Tampa and Orlando along
01:08 Interstate 4.
01:09 It's that boundary that's going to continue to remain stalled for the rest of the week.
01:13 And what will happen is, I think the thunderstorms become more numerous and they get a little
01:17 stronger as we head toward Wednesday, Thursday.
01:21 And I'll tell you what, this front's not going much of anywhere as we get into the weekend
01:24 as well.
01:25 So through Thursday, look at the area.
01:27 You know, we're going to get a few inches of rain here and pockets of heavier rain as
01:32 well where we can easily see over four or five inches of rain and some localized flooding.
01:37 By the way, the other thing you have to be a little worried about is on the southern
01:41 end of this front, some tropical development later this week into the weekend, what we
01:46 call homegrown development, development in close to the United States.
01:51 This is not the same setup as what we saw last week.
01:54 I don't think we have the support that we saw last week, but I'll tell you what, we'll
01:58 keep an eye on it as we head toward the latter half of this week.
