Episode Narrative: Tropical Storm Cindy developed over the central Gulf of Mexico on June 20th and moved generally northwest for the next few days before making landfall in southwest Louisiana near the Louisiana and Texas state line.||Cindy was an asymmetric system as it moved through the central Gulf toward southwest Louisiana, resulting in minor to moderate impacts across southeast Louisiana. The storm resulted in heavy rainfall, minor storm surge flooding, and isolated damage due to strong winds.||The minimum sea level pressure of 1004.4 mb, along with the highest wind gust and highest sustained wind in southeast Louisiana were all measured by the New Orleans Lakefront Airport ASOS. The highest wind gust recorded was 43 knots, or 49 mph, and the the maximum sustained wind in southeast Louisiana was 38 knots, or 44 mph. Tropical storm force winds were primarily experienced in gusts as squalls moved through the area. The winds did cause isolated minor damage to trees, roofs, and power lines. The only two known injuries in southeast Louisiana resulted from a tree falling on a mobile home in Houma.||A storm tide of generally 4 to 6 feet occurred along the Gulf Coast of southeast Louisiana from St. Bernard Parish through Terrebonne Parish. The highest measured storm tide was 6.18 ft NAVD88 at a USGS gauge near Point a la Hache in Plaquemines Parish. The elevated tides resulted in minor to moderate flooding mainly of low lying land and roadways outside the federal levee system. ||Around Lake Pontchartrain, storm tide was generally measured in the 2 to 4 ft range, with a maximum value of 4.29 ft NAVD88 at the USCOE gauge near Mandeville. Again, impacts were minor to moderate with flooding to low lying land and roadways outside of levees systems.||Many areas of southeast Louisiana received 3 to 5 inches of rain with a few measurements in excess of 6 inches. Maximum storm total rainfall was 6.52 inches measured at a CoCoRaHS station in St. Bernard. The rainfall resulted in some minor river flooding across portions of the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain. Event Narrative: Portions of eastern St. Bernard Parish recorded 4 to 6 inches of rain associated with Tropical Storm Cindy, most of which fell during the overnight hours of June 20th into the 21st. The highest total was recorded by a CoCoRaHS observer in the community of St. That observer recorded 6.52 inches of rain, 6.46 inches of which fell from the 20th into the 21st. The heavy rainfall led to ponding of water in typical poor drainage areas. Rainfall totals decreased to the west. In Meraux, an NWS cooperative observer reported a storm total of 4.05 inches.
The following events were reported: Lightning, Tornado. These occurred near station USW00012815, approximately 15.4208 km away, between 2009-07-15 18:45:00 and 2009-07-15 19:15:00.Thankfully, no injuries or fatalities were reported.

Episode Narrative: A north to south line of thunderstorms developed rapidly over central Orange County, including metro Orlando as the west coast sea breeze boundary intersected another mesoscale boundary. A funnel cloud associated with a strong storm tracked just south of Highway 528, then touched down briefly and heavily damaged the roof of a large warehouse. Excessive lightning, nearly 2200 cloud to ground strikes in an hour, affected central Orange County. Lightning struck a apartment complex north of Orlando and started a fire. A north to south line of thunderstorms developed rapidly over central Orange County, including metro Orlando as the west coast sea breeze boundary intersected another mesoscale boundary. Event Narrative: Lightning struck an apartment building during a severe thunderstorm and started a fire. Nearly 2200 cloud to ground lightning strikes occurred across central Orange County in an hour. The fire damaged eight units, two heavily. Eight families were displaced. Fire fighters working the incident had to pull back and take shelter due to a continuation of excessive lightning once arriving on scene. A tornado associated with a rapidly developing thunderstorm touched down briefly and heavily damaged the roof of the Ikon Office Solutions warehouse. Large portions of the aluminum roof, and insulation were pealed away, with much of the debris falling into the warehouse. Two trailers adjacent to the building were also knocked onto their sides and a pickup truck was heavily damaged from flying debris.

Episode Narrative: A tropical disturbance in the Florida Straits was forecast by NHC to move northeastward into the Atlantic waters of South Florida before continuing to move northeastward into the Western Atlantic waters. NHC showed a 70 percent chance of development into a tropical system in the next 48 hours, mainly in the Northwest Bahamas or the Western Atlantic waters. As the disturbance moved northeastward, deeper moisture worked into the region from the south leading to numerous showers and thunderstorms over eastern areas. As this convection progressed towards the east coast metro areas, especially Broward and Miami-Dade counties, heavy rainfall and repeated rounds of convection lead to widespread flooding and standing water that lasted into the overnight hours of May 15 into May 16, well after precipitation ended. A tropical disturbance in the Florida Straits was forecast by NHC to move northeastward into the Atlantic waters of South Florida before continuing to move northeastward into the Western Atlantic waters. Event Narrative: A member of the public reported flooded roadways due to heavy rainfall in the Miami Springs area via Snapmap. Rainfall estimates in the area were 2 to 3 inches. Several inches of rain, with measured amounts close to 6 inches, flooded a warehouse loading dock and tractor trailers in the parking lot in Opa-Locka, turning the parking lot into a lake. Torrential rain, with reduced visibility, began in the morning hours and caused a major accident involving a tractor-trailer on the Florida's Turnpike in South Miami-Dade County, near SW 137th Avenue, which closed down most lanes to southbound traffic. Injuries/fatalities unknown.

Episode Narrative: A strong mid-to-upper level weather disturbance brought unusually cold temperatures aloft of central Florida. The lift from this system, combined with marginally sufficient moisture, resulted in an isolated severe storm in Lake County and two long-tracked severe thunderstorms which affected central and southern Brevard County during the morning. The first Brevard County storm produced a historic swath of large hail and resultant damage to vehicles, home windows, roofs and pool screen enclosures (becoming the most significant hail storm on record within Brevard County). Areas most significantly impacted included Canaveral Groves, Cocoa, Rockledge, Central Merritt Island, Patrick Air Force Base, Satellite Beach, Indian Harbour Beach and Indialantic. Many of these areas experienced hail between the size of ping-pong balls (1.5 inch diameter) and golf balls (1.75 inch diameter), with maximum hail stones reaching hen egg size (2.0 inches) in Indialantic. One hour after this storm, another severe thunderstorm produced a second round of similar sized hail (up to golf ball size, 1.75 inch diameter) and affected many of the same areas including Canaveral Groves, Cocoa, Rockledge, Central Merritt Island and Patrick Air Force Base. Hail lasted 5 to 10 minutes during each of the storms and resulted in accumulation in many areas. Wind gusts of 45 to 55 mph also accompanied the storms. A strong mid-to-upper level weather disturbance brought unusually cold temperatures aloft of central Florida. Event Narrative: A trained weather spotter reported hail of 1.0 to 1.5 inches in diameter in the Canveral Groves area.

Episode Narrative: After an exceptional period with little to no rainfall, much needed rain fell across the Bay Area February 6th through the 9th. In fact, the lack of rainfall lead to the largest deficit of rain in recorded history for the Bay Area.||The first storm system began to develop on Wednesday (Feb 5) as a shortwave trough moved toward the West Coast. The shortwave trough deepened through the day allowing for a surface low to develop Wednesday Night off the coast. The resulting surface low increased low level warm advection and enhanced orographic lift along the coastal mountains. Rainfall amounts with this system varied from just over one half inch to a little more than two inches. ||The second and much stronger storm system brought impressive rainfall totals to the coastal mountains, especially the North Bay. The bulk of the rainfall occurred Friday night through Saturday. Several key factors led to the impressive rainfall: middle level flow perpendicular to the coast , orographic lift along the coastal mountains, but most prominently was a plume of very moist air streaming in from off the Pacific Ocean (an Atmospheric River). As the moisture plume moved into the region rain began to overspread the North Bay Thursday night into Friday morning. Over the next 24 hours the main push of higher precipitable water moved over the Bay Area leading to the onset of steadier and at times heavy rainfall. By Sunday, rain began to diminish with off and on showers through the day.||Despite the long preceding period of dry weather, the several days of persistent rainfall resulted in some flooding and even landslides in parts of the Bay Area. Conditions were so bad on a stretch of the Ft Ross-Cazadero Highway that part of it washed away. After an exceptional period with little to no rainfall, much needed rain fell across the Bay Area February 6th through the 9th. Event Narrative: Flooded streets reported around the 2 AM Club. Spotter reported this as a 24 Hour Rainfall Total. Spotter reported this as a 24 hour rainfall total.
