Issued 01/07/01 10:00 AM Per our forecast subfreezing temperatures once
again visited portions of the peninsula, with the sub freeze line down into
the northern Everglades. In keeping with our 10 day outlook of more normal
temperatures with periods of cold, it looks like a more significant freeze
then occurred this morning, will occur on Wednesday morning 01/10/01.
Some significant minimum temperatures this morning include Brooksville 24,
Alachua 25, Okahumpka and Scottsmoor 26, Ona 28, Plant City 29 (10 straight
mornings 32 deg. or lower), Ft. Pierce 30, Orlando, Vero Beach and Belle
Glades 31, Punta Gorda 33.
Issued 01/07/01 12:00 AM The temperature at my location in west Plant City
is now 31 deg.
This is a summation of 6 foot level and 2 foot level subfreezing
temperatures at my location so far this season.

Issued 01/06/01 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 "winter's
over till mid February" prediction. The CPC stinks, period.
