We didnt get any rains, forget appreciable. It rained for 4 minutes last MOnday, the only "rain" in 20+ days. That is not rain! I hope you are right, because I am going to have to deep water the palms now they are showing stress. The fronds are wilting downwards. The storms just stayed inland from me. I am appx 1 mile from the GOM in New Port Richey. It usually is dry here in May, then when the rainy season begins we get drenched with too much at once. This year I will take it!

I looked at long range and I am not seeing any huge drenching. Where are you guys seeing this? Website? Info? Thanks...it will give me some hope.

Hope you all are having a great holiday weekend so far! The weather has been near perfect here this weekend, with sunny, dry and cooler conditions. Currently 57.3 degrees at my locale. Feels absolutely great in late May. max temp today only in the low 80s. We need this dry period to dry thimgs out around here after a very wet month.

Hang in there gsytch. The dry weather will continue into about mid-week, but the models are hinting at deep tropical moisture surging north toward the peninsula by Friday. Some of the reliable models keep hinting at possible tropical cyclone activity within the next week to ten days, but I am cautiously monitoring that scenario.

The rainy season will kick into gear gsytch for you over there in New Port Richey very shortly hopefully.

57.3 degrees on May 26?? Did you move to NE? We only went down to 74 degrees for our low this morning.

[gsytch]

A brisk low of 64F this morning after yesterday's high of 94F. 30 temp difference in May? Seriously? DP now at 57F. Jeez....dry blue skies, 23 days and counting since our last rainfall. That "fetch" better hurry, and this wind is not helping the yard stay watered.

We had a cool front bring in a drier and cooler air mass early Saturday morning. It really felt great earlier today that's for sure.

northjaxpro, you remember this.

northjaxpro, you remember this.

Oh yeah cycloneye will never forget it of course. It was exactly one year ago that Beryl came roaring through my locale. I have a friend who lives out Blount Island, which is about 15 minutes from where I live and he did receive a reading of a gust to 76 mph at the time of landfall. I measured a peak gust to 67 mph at my locale, but Beryl was a pretty strong tropical storm nonetheless. I had power lines and some trees felled by the storm and lost power for nearly three days. Thank goodness that the cyclone moved through at a 8-10 mph pace when she made landfall or else we would have had much more than the 8 inch rain total I received from the system.

Beryl nearly became a minimal hurricane and if it had another 4 to 6 hours over the Gulf Stream before making landfall, it would have made that status IMO. But, the impact from a strong tropical storm and /or minimal hurricane is virtually the same, so Beryl was bad enough for sure. It was also a historic storm for the Jax area. Beryl was the first tropical cyclone to directly make landfall on Jax from the due east since Hurricane Dora in 1964.

Moisture came back to parts of central FL a lot quicker than I thought it was going to happen, I guess that is good news for some of you in the Tampa area.

[gsytch]

ONCE AGAIN...heard thunder but missed all the rain! And the winds picked up just now to 25-30mph further drying everything out. Yeah...mositure is back except where? At my house! lol

Dry, dry here. It rained at the school I teach at - 5 mins away - but the house yard is so dry, much wilting is occurring. Hose out yet again. Sun shining strongly, winds gusting easily 25-30mph....dry dry. 26 days and counting without rainfall. Will I reach an even month? hmmmm

[SouthFloridian92]

We had some significant rainfall yesterday and today with moderate flooding. Both days ended in clear skies and a view of the sunset though.

[gsytch]

I even have big Crepe Myrtles wilted and a Camellia bush that was limp before watering! Just sunny, dry and windy. Very windy. Send it my way!!!!!!!!

gsytch, I am happy to see that you finally got some rain down there. Hopefully, your area will begin to catch up now with the rainy season beginning to really kick into gear.

[gsytch]

Local news is hinting at something tropical next week - remnants of Barbara plus some tropical moisture connecting. Could be interesting and would make sense. Zero for so long then flooding in this area due to too much rains! Nada today. Just sunny.

well someone needs to turn off the faucet in our area. We don't have much room left before the flooding hits our house. And we now have 60% chance today, as well as -
