Funnel Clouds Off Boca this Morning



Thanks to Patrick Garmon for sending in these pictures from this morning. These funnel clouds/waterspouts were taken from the Yamato Road/Glades Road areas from Boca Raton looking east. Boca Raton air tower also observed these funnel clouds at 8:18am according a Special Marine Warning issued from the NWS in Miami.

The possiblity of waterspouts were noted in this morning's Harazrdous Weather Outlook issued at 3:44am this morning.

Speaking of funnels, the Vortex2 mission is now in day four. This has been covered widely on The Weather Channel and CNN. Today has been the first day they have been able to encounter severe weather and The Weather Channel has been giving them quite a bit of time. If you have the oppurtunity please tune in. It is very interesting to see how much equipment is being deployed to investigate tornadic developement.

Last but not least for tonight, we have less than 20 days before hurricane season begins. Of course that is when this blog becomes more active. This is the time that all of us should begin our preperations.
