Published 03/05/01 12:00 PM As "educasted" the peninsula as a whole received
significant drought busting rainfall during the past 24 hours. The top
rainfall total was 2.37" at Homestead, 2.25" at west Plant City and 2.18" at
Wuamama. Numerous totals between 1-2" were observed statewide. This should
reduce the immediate wildfire threat for a while.

A confirmed F0 tornado did considerable damage in the Hudson area of NW
Pasco County yesterday morning and more severe weather occurred over south
Florida yesterday evening.

The next significant drought busting rain event will arrive by Friday
02/09/01, as the predicted subtropical jetstream continues to grow more
active.

Strong CAA is already occurring statewide this morning on NW-N winds gusting
past 30 mph, with expected gusts to 40 mph later in the day, especially
along the coasts. A secondary cold air surge arrives on Tuesday 03/06/01,
setting up a significant freeze across the north central peninsula and a
freeze possible into inland rural areas of the south central citrus growing
areas on early Wednesday morning 03/07/01.

Take Care,
