Typical summer evening in Florida

I love the weather here in florida in summer. Here are a few pictures of what can be expected any given summer evening:

Outflow boundary approaches from the northeast generated by the rain cooled air of some big storms that were raging inland:

Sometimes, these boundaries can fire off some new storms in thier wake. Darkening clouds approach from behind the boundary:

Clouds are breaking up. I thought it was going to rain?

Hi Bill,

Nice photos.  Does rain actually come from those clouds?  I've been seeing them all week carrying tons of moisture to somewhere else!

Bill, Great pictures! Summer evenings in Florida are like watching a movie. The formation of the clouds and the sweet smell of the rain are captivating.
