[STORMREPORTS] Florida Winter Weather Discussion

Issued 06/06/01 9:00 PM Once again today dewpoints reached extremely low
values after passage of another cold front and resultant DAA, with low teens
common. Temperatures responded with a max. temp. at my station of 66 deg.,
the warmest in many days. Unfortunately though my current temp. is 35 deg.
and it looks like another freeze for portions of the peninsula.

It turns out we were the only weather forecasting agency public or private
that forecasted a hard freeze into the citrus growing areas of south
central/northern Everglades. Preliminarily there is damage to strawberries
in central areas, citrus in south central/northern Everglades and truck
crops in the southern Everglades.

I've had many calls from customers biting on NWS CPC's ridiculous winters
over till mid February prediction. The CPC stinks, period.

Take Care,
