Dual‑pol radar this aftn showed a “storm‑like” echo near the Polk/Highlands line east of Avon Park - actually smoke/ash from a USAF prescribed burn over the Kicco WMA, not rain. Dual‑pol helps separate real precip from smoke. FL’s extreme drought continues, with a warmer, mostly dry week ahead.

That was the band of showers and thunderstorms that produced the heaviest totals, too.

As a meteorologist, I got chills hearing this historic “Launch Weather is Go!” statement from fellow colleagues with NASA Artemis | U.S. Space Force Launch Weather Officer at the 45th Weather Squadron before liftoff this evening, Wednesday April 1, 2026. 📡🚀

Photogenic thunderstorm over Pinellas County Florida looking west across Tampa Bay this Sunday afternoon, May 17, 2026.

A classic Florida “zipper effect” is taking shape this Wednesday evening, as the west coast sea breeze collides with the east coast sea breeze within a prevailing southeast flow.

This is welcomed news, considering much of the state remains in severe to extreme #drought and any rainfall will help recharge (or perhaps moisten) soils. 🌧️ The #weather maps from Sat through Tue morning highlight this evolving pattern and stay tuned for updates as we track the system’s progress.

The most popular weather radar and satellite imagery today before the first launch opportunity of NASA Artemis II coming up in about L-4 hours. 📡🚀

Note the fire generated smoke plume over eastern Hardee and Desoto counties southwest of Sebring, Florida.

Similarly, the final daylight images from the visible satellite channel over Florida shows different cloud layers: low-level stratocumulus, mid-level altocumulus, and high-level cirrus.

Even as model guidance from the Ai-GFS shows the ridge weakening slightly next week, the pattern remains warm enough to keep many areas above normal.
