Well this morning we have a Tropical Storm watch. That pesky Kyle is nearing our coast, and is trying to restrengthen a bit. What does it mean for us? Breezy along the coast and a higher than normal chance of rain. Kyle won't be getting very strong however, there are too many negatives.
Kyle is being watched, as it is most interesting. Weeks ago I would have never imagined it nearing our coast, and here it is, weak, but here.

Remember everyone along the mid central and south florida coastline when you get those clouds and possible rain from Kyle to the north it is NOT Kyle..NOT the but it is called Cirrus Blow off. That's what they called it on this morning and since that "cirrus blow off" has often been there and at times blown up into tstorms I don't want anyone screaming they got Kyle when it was just that cirrus blow off stuff.

I am sure glad I checked in to see what was happening, or I might have missed Kyle! I am in Ormond Beach (adjoining Daytona on the north side). We have had a few little showers this morning and a nice breeze from the east most of the morning. As I look out my office window, it is apparent that winds are now coming from the NE, probably 10 MPH.
I would have hated to been in Kyle and missed it!

Apparently my overly enthusiastic prediction of a cat 5 storm for Kyle last evening did not pan out. I am at a meteorological loss to explain this as I extrapolated the growth of the convection over a 24 hr period. There is something in the air over SE Central Florida that protects us here. Unfortunately State Farm has not bought off on this . Kyle is goimng the way of most storms of this year- weird. I believe in years past ,10 of the 12 storms this year would never have been named . It's obviously a plot to send Gray into early retirement as the does not like the competition. At least my star fruit and avacados are safe again this year.

Just watched the WC Tropical update which was highlighting the wind gusts at the coast about 10mph(gusts!!). Fully expect them to have a crew onhand at St augustine should the storm come ashore. I believe they may have to have someone mix up some sea foam and throw it in front of the camera about the same time that they switch to a puddle somewhere in the area that they will magnify thru closeups to show the flooding rains. I can't recall how many hits Florida has suffered this year but I suppose this will count in the statistics for this highly active year.

From my house, 2.5 miles inland from the Ocean in Ormond Beach. We have had .04 inches of rain today, wind currently from the NE at between 3 - 10 MPH, pressure 1013 mb, periods of overcast skys, but very little else. Thankfully, this City has been through 2 tropical events this year (Edoquard & now Kyle) and I don't think we have even had a tree knocked down.

Hi All,
I just had to say something in this docile period in time so I thought I'd give old Kyle honorable mention. Heck, that's all anyone else can do. Stuart Dave, you said you didnt even have a downed tree this year but I have a gut feeling you may lose a couple of leaves with this one. Maybe some large leaves, who knows? Seriously though, after we finally get rid of this pest we can concentrate on anticipating the next real storm although time is starting to run out for this season. What do ya think, one more?

Thunder Storm-Passing Shower Kyle will be passing by my backyard sometime tonight/ tomorrow morning. He has gone to way too much trouble putting up a tropical storm watch on us as there isn't anything close to a tropical storm event taking place within 500 miles of me. Much like other posters here earlier, we go about a .10 inch of rain so far, even though it does appear we have a line of thunder storms/showers coming across the city at this time. I have yet to see it. I can't wait to see Kyle put fear into my beloved cats with his mighty gusts of, oh, 12 mph. Somehow I was at work this morning when this "huge" burst of convection took place. Did I miss everything?

I think I was near the same place as you were when the convection was crating all of the fuss.

The Seminoles will play a better game against Miami than the Gators did. The Gators already lost twice and have at least 2 more losses coming (FSU and UGA). Gators=3rd best college team in Florida.

Another typical August:
Hurricane activity is increasing and the Red Sox are choking.
