    The automated forecasts have no human input at all, they're just computer generated. I wouldn't place too much faith in them.

    Understand that and I never pay attention but many friends / family with little interest in the weather rely solely on the app forecast. Surely if there is a warning for severe weather some sort of manual override should kick in.

    Enough moaning, latest charts and models looking good for most of area and temps looking to be just above freezing for most of the day. Hopefully any snow won't be washed away or instantly melt!

    Less talked about is the potential for ground-flooding due to the rainfall forecast, FL has a aquifer-system beneath the state not only potentially raising the ground-water upwards but also stopping any rain-water from easily draining away due to the combination of the both.

    With that in mind, is there any potential for a 'brown-ocean' effect to happen over FL due to the everglades and swamplands.

    Looking at local news sites there are a few that have storm surges warnings that are quite a way inland separate from the sea. Not sure if this is just due to rainfall flooding lakes/rivers or the surge from the sea pushing back up through the underground water system?

    If that's now surely once the real rough stuff comes along those people have no where to go. Why did people on the islands stay.

    Yes, the time capture suggests 630pm UK time so the storm hasn't really got going yet and it's already washing up and over the sea wall.

    The link below provides an indication of Key West elevation. It's basically b****r all.
