Color doesnt always mean turbulence or lack thereof. Just yesterday into central Florida the echos were close to each other and we went into areas where no radar return was shown...... But the ride was quite rough. These cells were building faster than could be displayed. Five minutes later would have cause a good fifty mile deviation. There was just no way to transit without some kind of pain. Don't like it, but Florida and the caribbean type storms can be given much less leeway than the mega storms of the American Midwest.
