Currently in Pensacola intercepting Hurricane Isaias. Station is up and streaming live observations to my website https://t.co/kUDRGYGZ8J
Conditions will rapidly deteriorate leading up to and through landfall.
My eyes were wet from start to finish. I thought of being little in a big world & watching my son's first tries at this mad game. ESPN's Open to the NHL season is beautiful. I didn't expect to cry today-this is stunning. There's nothing like this sport. We at ESPN love the sport as you do. ❤️ Enjoy.
The Vegas Golden Knights are only behind three teams when looking at Stanley Cup Final appearances since 2000....They've only been in the league since 2017 🤯
Quick terms:
NBM - National Blend of Models. Blends multiple weather models together, applying bias corrections and weighting to reduce individual model biases and show the general forecast trend.
PWAT - Precipitable Water. The amount of water vapor in a vertical column of the atmosphere that could potentially condense into water droplets and fall as rain.
A rainy pattern is developing across the Florida peninsula through early next week.
Atlantic ridging remains in place this morning, but an upper-level trough is digging into the eastern US. As the ridge is suppressed south and east through the week, deep Gulf moisture, with PWAT values of 2.0-2.7"+, will advect eastward across the peninsula.
Scattered to numerous thunderstorms are expected this afternoon and evening along the sea breeze, with low-level flow veering from southeast to south-southwest, keeping convection focused over inland areas.
Through the rest of the week, flow continues to veer southwest, then west. Increasing moisture supports higher daily rain chances late this week through the weekend and into early next week, with thunderstorms possible at almost any time rather than being tied mainly to the typical daytime heating cycle.
Sunday into Tuesday, the upper trough lingers over the eastern US or western Atlantic. Model guidance diverges on specifics, but ample moisture and elevated storm chances persist.
NBM guidance places the highest accumulated totals across the interior and eastern half of the peninsula, the favored convergence zone under this southwest-to-west flow pattern.

Mid-60s dewpoints, MLCAPE near 2,000–3,000 J/kg, strong deep-layer shear, and a 40–50 kt low-level jet will support discrete supercells capable of very large hail (2–3”+) and a few tornadoes, some potentially strong.
Isolated dryline storms are also possible Sunday evening from western KS into the OK/TX Panhandles as the low-level jet strengthens. Capping limits coverage, but any sustained supercell could produce very large hail.
Through Sunday evening into Sunday night, storms should cluster and grow upscale, shifting the main threat to damaging winds across southeast SD, northwest IA, and southwest MN.
SPC Day 2 Outlook | Sunday 5/17
Enhanced Risk covers central Nebraska into southwest Minnesota. Elevated storms will likely be ongoing Sunday morning across northern NE into IA, with the main severe threat ramping up by Sunday afternoon along the warm front in eastern NE.
