SPG Blog Post Florida Convection 05-11-2026

Deep convection was hard to come by in Florida on May 11th, 2026 but a weakening storm did move over a land breeze boundary along the coast during the late afternoon and into the evening. The land breeze was visible on the GeoXO viewer and can be seen as a buildup of moisture along the coast which then dissipates around 2200z. Figure 1 shows this buildup of moisture very well.

As a weakening thunderstorm traversed over the boundary, it was reinvigorated and strengthened rapidly. This can be seen below on Figure 2. A thunderstorm moved over the boundary, seemingly absorbed the moisture at the boundary and developed deep convection over the ocean.
