Weather Summary for 7 Jun 2001

High-pressure and weak gradients continued over Florida.




The sounding indicates moderate instability with light winds below 250mb. Above 250 mb the winds become northerly at about 15 m/s.







Storms formed at 1630Z west of Cape Canaveral near Orlando and moved east over the Cape by 1730Z. Anvils were small with movement from the northeast although the sounding shows northerly winds at anvil level. The 200 mb chart suggests northeasterly geostrophic flow at that level, so perhaps the sounding is not completely representative of the regional environment.
