ummmm....
what channel are you on?... we did get lots O rain down here last Sunday. But we were in Satellite yesterday and the house we sold..well the front yard is looking like a desert!!! our son who lives in Palm Bay, said rain came up as far as Sebastian and stopped! maybe change brands of Tin Foil..go with the Super Heavey Duty! ------------------------- BurrysBreak Inflation caused The BIG BANG...look it up! |

Next chance of rain:
Isold shras on Mon, chc of tsras late Mon night as a frontal boundary approaches the area. |

None here in Satellite. Had three drops before lunch today, so there is hope.

NWS melbourne discussion Monday mid-morning:
Short-range models seem to be liking the atmosphere ahead of the approaching system for today better than this time yesterday. The HRRR, should it verify, shows numerous convective coverage this afternoon, but think this is a bit overplayed, though it would be nice for our dry situation. Speaking of the HRRR, it shows coverage increasing early this afternoon across the interior, then moving NE toward the east coast and hitting the ECSB, intensifying along the east coast and moving offshore across the coastal waters. For now, will keep 30 to 40 PoPs areawide until something shows me otherwise as the mid/upper levels are not overly impressive, though we are a bit cooler aloft than recent days. There will be a threat for lightning with this afternoon`s activity, too. Tonight...the front advances into north-central FL and perhaps near or just north of the I-4 corridor by daybreak Tue morning. Deep layer moisture will pool to 1.70-1.90 inches along/ahead of the boundary across ECFL. Ongoing convection and deepening moisture will prompt continued chances of precipitation through the night. Highest PoPs (50pct) will be across the I-4 corridor, closest to the front, with decreasing chances southward (30-40pct). With the little dynamic support suspect highest chances will be during the evening, then increasing late in the night or toward sunrise northward near the approaching front. |

if not tonight, then Tuesday, just updated from nws melbourne:
Tue...Should be some ISOLD-SCT convection around ECFL by sunrise Tue morning, with greatest potential for this near/north of I-4 near and out ahead of the approaching diminishing front. SCT-NMRS (50-60pct) showers are forecast along with ISOLD lightning storms. Locally heavy downpours, gusty winds, and occasional lightning will be the main threats with storm motion generally out of the west. Activity will slowly end from north to south during the day as the weakening boundary sags southward. SW to W winds will veer into the afternoon all the way around to NE with speeds averaging 10-15 mph. Modest surface heating will allow temperatures to reach the M-U80s across the interior and L-M80s near the coast. |

Got about 1/4 inch this afternoon. Just guessing though. rain buckets have something in it. Need more...come on Rain Gawd...you can do it!
Planted a couple trees yesterday and when digging the hole the soil was like concrete it was so dry. |

It rained here almost enough to get the sidewalk completely wet. So basically nothing.

Looks like we will have a cool down for the weekend! Last cool front? Get heavy work done in the yard weekend.
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Melbourne FL 413 AM EDT Tue May 2 2017 ...A Couple Periods of Much Needed Rain then Drying by the Weekend... .DISCUSSION... Today/Tonight...A large storm system extending from the Upr Midwest into the Canadian Maritimes has pulled a weakening cold front into the FL Big Bend/ern Panhandle as of release time. By daybreak, the front will be encroaching on the I-4 Corridor. Ahead of the front, H85-H30 vorticity is not well organized, but H85-H30 omega/H30-H20 divergence is quite strong, allowing sct shras/isold tsras to form over the central FL Peninsula. Precip has been increasing over the past few hrs, especially over the I-75 Corridor. Trend will continue well past sunrise as RAP40 analysis shows plentiful prefrontal moisture: sfc dewpoints in the L/M70s, lyr PWat btwn 1.75"-2.00", and H100-H70 mean RH btwn 80-90pct. As the storm system lifts into ern Canada, it will abandon the srn extension of its frontal trof, leaving it with its (weak) post frontal ridge and its own inertia as forward momentum. Models have consistently slowed the front as it treks thru central FL, stalling it in the vcnty of Lake-O/Jupiter Inlet arnd sunset where it will gradually washout. Given the strength and depth of the Atlc ridge it is currently plowing into, plus the fact that post frontal steering winds have a much more zonal than meridional component, and the scenario is reasonable. The 02/00Z RAOBs show the H85-H70 subsidence inversion that was in place overhead has largely eroded, opening the door for 50-70pct areal coverage. However, H85-h50 lapse rates btwn 5.5-6.0C/KM are marginal at best, and H50 temps btwn -8C/-9C do not suggest strong let alone severe convection. Precip will end quickly with the fropa, will downgrade PoPs from Orange/N Brevard northward from sct to slgt chc by midday, continuing nmrs shras/sct tsras to the south. Max temps in the M/U80s due to sky cover and cooling rain. Precip may linger over the Treasure Coast/Lake-O region for a few hrs past sunset, but should be done by midnight as drier air begins to filter into the south FL Peninsula. Min temps in the L/M60s over the interior...M/U60s along the coast. Wed-Fri...A shortwave trough will dig into the southern Plains then lift northeast through late week, pulling a strengthening surface low with it. The associated frontal boundary will approach the local area Thu and slide to our southeast on Fri. The 00z GFS showed lingering moisture band associated with a weakening frontal trough pushing south of Okeechobee on Wed as weak high pressure pushes offshore to our north. MOS POPs are less than 10 percent areawide Wed, so will have a dry forecast. Moisture ahead of the next front is forecast to reach the area Thu afternoon into Thu night and bring a chance for showers/storms. The band of convection should pass offshore Fri morning. Blended model guidance supports likely PoPs across the north Thu night and across the south on Fri. Weekend-Tue...Cool front settling through the Bahamas will leave the area in a dry west/northwest flow Sat. Weak high pressure ridge is then forecast to extend from the Gulf of Mexico across the Florida peninsula Sun-Tue and continue dry conditions. Morning lows will be below normal Sat/Sun and are projected to fall into the 50s over much of the area. High temperatures will also be below normal in the upper 70s to lower 80s Sat then a gradual moderating trend towards normal will occur through early next week with readings getting back in the mid-upper 80s. && .MARINE... Today/Tonight...Frontal boundary approaching the FL Big Bend will push acrs central FL thru the day and stall in the vcnty of Jupiter Inlet/Lake-O overnight. Sfc/bndry lyr winds shifting with the fropa...gentle to moderate W/SW breeze ahead of the boundary, shifting rapidly to a gentle to moderate NE breeze in its wake. Seas 3-4FT nearshore and 4-5FT offshore thru early evng, subsiding to 2- 3ft nearshore and 3-4FT offshore arnd sunset. Sct/nmrs shras and isold/sct tsras moving offshore. Wed-Fri...Weak high pressure area will push offshore to our north on Wed, which will bring a northeast/east wind flow Wed up to 10-15 knots. The next frontal trough will approach on Thu and southeast winds 10-15 knots will become south near 20 knots in the afternoon and into the night. Winds will become southwest early Fri then west by afternoon as the frontal boundary pushes through. Conditions for small craft operations will be poor to marginally hazardous Thu afternoon through Fri night. There will also be a band of showers/storms moving across the waters, mainly from Thu night into early Fri afternoon. Sat...Post frontal west/northwest winds may be near 20 knots in the morning but then are forecast to decrease in the afternoon. Seas 4-6 feet offshore. && .CLIMATE...Record daily rainfall of 0.98 inches at VRB on May 1. Old record was 0.95 in 1966. && |

RAined Hard in Vero for the past hour
------------------------- Replace turf grass with native plants that don't need irrigation and synthetic fertilizers or chemicals that can go into our waterways and ocean |

Of course even with the rain, neighbor down the street ran his sprinklers for 3 hours in the evening and they have been on since 6 this morning and still going. Dude runs his sprinklers like 5 hours a day 7 days a week and only has managed to replace most of his grass with dollar weed.
