Pyrocumulus creation from the prescribed burn at Tyndall AFB today. This cloud became saturated enough to even to produce rain and one lightning strike before it collapsed.

Reusing the Bay county sheriff’s photo. While you won’t be able to see the rip like this from the shore there are thing you can spot.
SPOTTING A RIP CURRENT

None of us have to do our job but it's requested that we do. He should grant time when it is reasonable to do so. He heard the player and saw the hand go up and ignored him. This is clear a case where time should be granted...

The Baron 3K model run for Sunday is UGLY for the south. This is just one possible solution to what could happen. It paints a picture of several long tracks and violent tornadoes across the Southeast. EVERYONE in the South needs to be weather aware Sunday and Sunday Night.

Old center where there is not any text the circled 1007 is the new center. The old center is where they models worked off of today tonight’s models and tomorrow mornings will be off the new center. I’m willing to bet we will see corrections east tonight and tomorrow.

The pop-up season is here... This time of year a 40% chance of rain means basically anywhere can see rain but many will not. Storms that work off the lift of other storms or the Seabreeze can and do form at random.

This is a pryocumulus cloud from the prescribed burn on Tyndall today. Beautiful cloud created by the heat from the fire and the particulates that rise up with the heat condensing as it moves up in the atmosphere.

Melanie Faircloth sent me this video of a tree that got struck by lightning today. You can see the fire burning inside the tree. Believe it or not much of the living part of the tree is around the outside of the trunk so it’s likely this tree will be fine.

@jpetramala
tropical is a warm core meaning it gets its energy from the warm water and surface. This is a cold core so it's attached to fronts and gets its energy from temp differences and lifts from the gradient in the atmosphere. not tropical.

Where we stand now the shifts in the models west have put the panhandle more at risk. I’m not fully convinced we don’t see an east shift in the next 24 hours. The storm continues to organize and we should see the storm moving more NW soon.

91 L has options but north really is not one of them. A big high-pressure ridge will keep this south. "if" this can get going it could slow and move toward the Yucatan, then we would need to see if a front could grab it but things would have to time out perfect for that.

10-10-2018 Hurricane Michael. We are forever changed. Still rebuilding still recovering, moving on but not forgetting. A scar was left across the land and in our hearts. We showed incredible strength in the following days because we will be forever panhandle STRONG.

One year ago today, Michael forms. We watched the track shift east throughout the day. We also watched the intensity forecast change with every update. I went home packed a bag and got the house ready. Today is when I knew we were in trouble... I hoped we where wrong.

4 years ago this morning. I was on the air talking about Michael about 7 hours before landfall. I said “ you’re running out of time to leave, poorly built homes will be destroyed, well built homes will have damage, the coast and area will be changed forever”.

After Hurricane Michael I came across homes that had been ripped apart but would see things like a lounge chair in a room with magazines on a table beside it. Like somehow it was in a bubble and didn’t experience the storm at all.

Not often can I identify why I’m so tired but here’s the answer this month. A few take aways here. Not all waves develop, many storms have zero impacts on the US and my gosh was it a busy month.

It's never good when there is a debris ball over a small town. This sank my heart when I saw it live. I may not know yall but I care for you and I don't want any of you to have to deal with things like this. I hope and pray everyone was safe today.

Hinnamnor is an absolute buzzsaw in the Pacific. It's a Super typhoon the equivalent of a Cat 5 in the US. The crazy thing is how small it is with the CDO only 62 miles across. In the second picture, I put what that would look like in the Gulf in comparison to Katrina and Michael

On this day a year ago I went to the station with a bag packed to stay for 5 days. On air to echo the seriousness of the situation in every way I could. A major hurricane was predicted on this day last year and I feared we were not going to miss this one.

I’m just going to keep harping on this until a storm develops the confidence in the long range will be low. There are big differences in the models based on timing of the trough, progression of the ridge, and location of the storm.

STAY OUT OF THE WATER WHEN DOUBLE RED IS FLYING! Just watched 3 people pulled from the water. 1 that went in to save someone that too was caught in the rip. Today is the worst rip currents I’ve ever seen here. 50 to 100 yards wide and pulling fast!

Welp it’s a mess and this is going to be a super tricky forecast for timing and impact. Stick with me here. Still waiting and likely will be until (Saturday for a low level center). This system will likely be in the Eastern Gulf. Here’s what could happen.

Lots of tropical action, the most interesting at this moment in time is a sub-tropical/hybrid low that will try to develop next week before the pattern flips. This should at a min bring high surfs and breezy conditions to the Penisula of FL.
