One of the most fascinating aspects of Florida weather (except hurricanes, of course) is what happens almost daily — especially in the heat of the summer. Being a peninsula Florida get winds from the west and winds from the east. When they collide we get not only wonderful cloud formations but thunderstorms. Today the skies to the east were a clear blue not a cloud in sight. When I looked to the west I saw an impressive line of big puffy white clouds so I grabbed my camera and ran to the river, well... at 90+ degrees, I drove to the river and took some photos so that I could share these wonderful clouds with you. If the winds from the west are stronger they will push the storms in our direction. It is kind of a battle of the breezes if you will. Since I can hear the rumble of thunder in the distance, I guess the west has won, today!
