Wednesday Afternoon...
>> Wednesday, August 20, 2008
Fay is crawling northward near the Space Coast of Florida this afternoon. It does not look like Fay will make it too far into the Atlantic, so I don't think we will see significant strengthening before Fay makes the left-hand turn back into north Florida.
Fay will then slowly cross Florida, heading westward, and either move into the Florida panhandle or the northern Gulf. If Fay does get over the northern Gulf, then it could strengthen again, but I really believe Fay's legacy will be rainfall. Portions of Florida continue to get blasted with rain, and north Florida will really see some impressive rain totals over the next 48 hours. After that, I expect the rain to pile up in portions of south Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana.
For us, most of Fay's rain will stay to our south through the weekend. However, there continue to be signs that what it left of Fay could get picked up by an approaching trough and lifted toward our area around Tuesday and Wednesday. We will see.
Otherwise, we continue to watch 94L out in the Atlantic...no immediate signs of development yet.
I also need to mention that it will be rather breezy around here tomorrow. The pressure gradient between Fay and an area of high pressure to our north will cause easterly winds to gust between 20 and 30mph at times.....

Hey matthew. Does it look like any big problems friday near lincoln county? gotta football game over there, and, while a little rain to cool us off would be nice, a tornado wouldnt. i mean, that would throw the ball all around, our recievers couldnt run anywhere! hah, just a little humor, but does it look like any big problems to our game, its in the late evening, about 7:30.
Nah, you will probably be OK.....no tornadic defenders likely.
