One thing that is good about running in Florida is that the weather is predictable about 99% of the time: it is sunny, humid, and hot, with the chance of an afternoon thunderstorm. The same applies in the winter but with fewer thunderstorms and slightly less hot/humid. However, when I woke up this morning, the skies were looking somewhat ominous. I decided to check the weather to see if it made sense to go this morning or if I should wait until later -- actually, I wasn't really feeling like running, so part of this was simply me feeling lazy. As I was doing that, it started pouring rain. If you look at the radar image below (you can click on it to make it bigger), I live in the part marked Temple Terrace and that vast storm is moving toward me. Actually, I think it just got here because it's been pouring for the past 10 minutes, accompanied by thunder and lightning. I'm glad that I was not out running in this!
They are calling for rain and thunderstorms for the rest of the day. I think I will opt for the treadmill instead.
Follow-up (1/2 hour later...I still would have been running): there was just a ground strike close by with thunder following almost immediately. Yeah, definitely a treadmill day.
