Could be. I was watching the radar and saw just south of me and into Satellite was getting hammered. I came home and my rain buckets were bone dry. ERRGGGGGGG...... I'm cursed!

another chance tonight and Friday morning:
National Weather Service Melbourne FL 330 PM EDT Thu May 4 2017 .DISCUSSION... Tonight and Friday...Breezy south winds are ushering moisture into the region, however surface boundary development is hindered due to the strength of the winds. The best rain potential locally looks to be centered over N Central FL with approach of the band of storms presently over the Eastern Gulf of Mex. It is expected a general decrease in intensity/coverage should occur as the line progresses inland from the gulf side this evening and moves over the area overnight. A few strong storms will be possible with gusty winds and frequent lightning. A late season front will sweep over the area beginning Friday morning preceded by a chance of showers and some embedded storms, mainly across the southern sections along the Treasure Coast and Lake Okeechobee in the morning. Rainfall coverage will be less prevalent across the north where a rather early fropa and airmass drying will commence. Highs will remain only in the 70s across a good portion of Central Florida due to the early frontal psg, with some 80s where rainfall lingers in the AM and early aftn. Saturday-Sunday...A breezy westerly wind flow will exist across the area Saturday as front shifts well away from the region and deep low pressure lingers across the northeast United States. Offshore winds then decrease slightly into late weekend as high pressure nudges in to south Florida from the Gulf. Drier air behind the frontal boundary will keep rain chances out of the forecast through the weekend. Highs will be cooler than normal in the upper 70s to low 80s Saturday, then closer to normal in the low to mid 80s Sunday. Lows will be able to drop into the 50s over much of the area early each morning. Monday-Thursday...(Previous Discussion) A mid level ridge across the Gulf of Mexico will flatten some and move toward the FL peninsula by Thu. Surface high pressure across the northern Gulf will drift toward FL into late week. This will set up a dry weather pattern for early to mid week with light winds in the morning and the east coast sea breeze moving inland each afternoon. Highs early in the week will range from the lower 80s coast to mid to upper 80s well inland. Highs will warm to the mid to upper 80s Wed and upper 80s to around 90 expected by next Thu. Lows in the upper 50s/lower 60s to start the week will warm to 65-70 by Thu morning. |

Four of my rain barrels are pretty full from Tuesday but everything was already wilting today. Hoping for the morning.

Not enough though. Weekend weather looks like commerce-of-chamber like. Dry and cool (relative to Florida).

I was totally amazed to be away in New Zealand, knowing the drought was on, and to come back to find the yard nice and green, no irrigation. Just enough rain to keep it going. |

10% chance each day over the weekend...that means no rain in my world.

http://www.sjrwmd.com/hydroconditionsreport/ Click on the "Monthly Actual" and "12 Months Actual". Things are pretty bleak in our cocoa/rockledge neighborhood. Only green lawns are being watered way more than the designated 2 days per week. It is killing me trying to get our drought tolerant landscape established. Most of what we have put in this year are very drought tolerant but even sunshine mimosa needs supplemental water when getting established.

Luckily one of my hobbies is having a watering hose in one hand and a beer in the other! Job security this time of year! I hate Spring time droughts, rather just sip beer....

Check the radar...all that water to the north of us and none for us...
National Weather Service Melbourne FL 258 PM EDT Sat May 13 2017 .DISCUSSION... Currently-Tonight...Band of higher moisture associated with frontal boundary over the eastern Gulf of Mexico will push slowly east as a mid level shortwave trough sags southeastward across north Florida. Current slow moving band of pre-frontal convection will continue to sag through the area into evening. How much coverage we get overnight is questionable but the HRRR suggests most areas will receive a shot at rainfall. MOS POPs range from 30-40 percent and will shade towards 40 percent based on the HRRR. Sunday...Axis of mid level shortwave trough will cross the area and deepest moisture will be shunted off the the east and south of the local area. There should be some lingering moisture from the associated weakening frontal boundary though, so small POPs will linger, especially across the south. Max temps don`t look as hot as they have been recently, mainly upper 80s coast and lower 90s well inland. |

Was over at Jerry Hooper's this weekend. A lot of his stuff was showing effects of the drought. For the most part, I have focused all the water lovers near hoses. Ain't too proud to drag around my hose!

Vero airport got 0.45" while I was away this afternoon. I assume the house got something similar. |
