Showers and storms are going to be likely every day this week and likely continue right on through the July Fourth holiday weekend. They could certainly pose a problem for Independence Day activities. The 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays. What can beat baked beans, hot dogs and a cold drink followed by beautiful fireworks. It is a day of celebration for the entire family.
From now through August is the lightning season in Florida. Stay inside if you can hear thunder and stay away from electrical appliances. When you see lightning start counting until you hear thunder and then divide that number by five and that tells you how many miles away the storm is. If you count to 30 the storm is 6 miles away.
Atmospheric conditions continue to be unfavorable for major hurricane development through the middle of July but lots of moisture will be coming into our state and rainfall is likely to be well above normal. If you have weather questions or need data, drop me an email to weather1@charter.net.
