(*)NOTES-

 

The month saw and unusual weather pattern with a predominant deep layered west wind flow, passing cold fronts and periods with alternating heavy thunderstorms and hot dry weather. This temperate type weather pattern would be normal for Atlanta, GA. The culprit for the unusual weather pattern are a persistent -NAO and +PNA.

 

8th- Deep layered SE flow finally arrived with the Bermuda high pressure ridge moving northward to along the Florida-Georgia border. This pattern arrived nine weeks late.

 

10th- Deep layered SE flow quickly became ENE, a climatologically dry direction for rainfall.

 

16th- TS Claudette formed just off of the west coast of the state. It was born out of a strong tropical wave that crossed the southern peninsula on the 15th. It tracked NW and made landfall in the panhandle region near Pensacola with a maximum sustained wind of 50 mph. The only effect experienced here in Lakeland was a wind gust to 28 mph from a passing rain squall.

 

22nd- Today's 0.47" of rainfall is the largest total since 0.78" fell on July 18th. Through today I have not measured a significant rainfall event (at least 0.75") since July 18th when 0.78" fell, a 35 day period. I have not measured a rainfall total of 1.00" or greater since July 13th when 1.01" fell, a 40 day period. So far the August 2009 rainfall total is the lowest I have measured since 1982. Using NWS TBW doppler radar estimated rainfall data, other nearby locations have seen ~8.00" of rainfall.

 

24th- 63 deg. minimum temperature at Nobleton East.

 

31st- I measured 2.02" in 13 minutes between 6:03-6:16 pm, with the storm total reaching 2.44", the largest total for the June through August traditional summer rainy season.
