No one saw this coming it seems. I don't see anything on the relative velocity that indicates much, but heads up just in case. 65 knots at 700 feet reported from nearby airforce base. Ok, already looks like that cell is weakened if it was ever that much. I'm hitting the hay, but there is a line out there. The cold front is going to be pretty potent with temps of 29-30 F next couple of nights. Remember it's FL! that's cold!
oh, funny thing "that popped up out of nowhere, holy crap" News 13 just had a met. reporter say that--wonder if she knew the camera was still on!
(it then went black and then commercial)
