Incredible radar image of Hurricane Andrew at landfall, showing the well-defined eyewall and intense spiral rainbands across South Florida. Andrew left its mark in 1992 and became a benchmark storm in Florida history.

Today marks the 34th anniversary of Major Hurricane Andrew. A category 5 hurricane to make landfall near Homestead, FL in 1992. At the time, it had been 23 years since the last Cat. 5 storm struck the mainland United States. That was Hurricane Camille 1969.

Still tracking the remnants of Arthur moving across the southeastern US. There is a slight chance this area could regenerate offshore of the Mid-Atlantic as it moves away from land.

El Niño is officially underway! The equatorial Pacific is now above the 0.5c degree threshold & projected to strengthen in a big way! This bodes well to help suppress Atlantic Basin hurricane activity but also could mean a wet & stormy Winter Season for #FL.

Tropics still mainly quiet. Just keeping an eye on the southern Gulf for a slight chance for development over the next week. Right now, this not a threat to FL.

Bradenton Mayor Gene Brown and his wife captured this amazing - yet scary - video of dual #waterspouts at the mouth of the Manatee River on Sunday. The Green Bridge is in the foreground. Drivers slowed and even stopped to witness the weather phenomenon. – at Palmetto, FL
