Do you think Lee County will get some of this rainfall during evening hours?
So far we are missing out on a massive display of training. I turned my computer on at 4:30 am this morning and cells were training in off the gulf along the central Florida coast. The training has not stopped all day. The area has been slowly sinking south but this is also the time of day when this type of convection begins to weaken. So to answer your question......maybe we get a little, maybe we get drenched. No way to tell for sure. The flooding is getting very bad in the counties to our north with rivers approaching or exceeding flood stage. This training will likely continue until Friday.
