Observation Date Observation Time Precipitation Snowfall Snowfall SWE Snow Depth Snow SWE Notes
10/1/2018 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Overcast and 78F at sunrise with an ENE wind of 10 mph. VERY, VERY DRY AT MY LOCATION following the warmest and second driest September on record for Daytona Beach. I recorded a meager 1.07" for the calendar month, which is approx. 15% of normal rain and is the driest September I have ever lived through as a life-long resident of central Florida. I observed flashes of distant lightning to the north between 4-5 am this morning from a band of moisture associated with a dissipating frontal boundary over NE Florida and the near shore Atlantic. Doppler estimates up to 2.5" of rain fell along the Flagler County coastline.
10/2/2018 7:00 AM 0.04 M M M M Two very brief light showers off the Atlantic Ocean during the past 24 hours totaled 0.04", barely wetting the pavement for a few minutes. Areas just to the north, south and west measured between 1/2-2". At sunrise today it is mostly cloudy, windy (east 15-20 mph gusting to 25) with sprinkles in the area and heavier showers loom 20-30 miles to the east over the Atlantic Ocean. For the sake of my landscape, hopefully the 30% chance for rain today will concentrate on this parched portion of the Volusia coast.
10/3/2018 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M A small shower is visible up the coast several blocks to the north and the fresh smell of rain is in the gusty ENE breeze at 7 am observation, but not even a sprinkle here.
10/4/2018 7:00 AM 0.06 M M M M A very isolated/brief shower that skittered in off the Atlantic on the gusty onshore flow around 11 pm last night actually was enough to wet the parched ground. During the past 30 days of the "wet" season, barely 6/10ths of an inch was measured. Dew points have dropped to 70F the past several days signaling that the dry season is arriving.

10/7/2018 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Hoping for beneficial rainfall early next week from strengthening tropical cyclone (Michael) forecast to be in the eastern Gulf of Mexico.
10/8/2018 7:00 AM 0.02 M M M M 15 seconds of moderate rain at 2 am this morning accounted for the measureable but very meager rainfall.
10/9/2018 7:00 AM 0.15 M M M M A very brief blast of moderate to heavy rain around 1 am accounted for the wetting but disappointing 0.15" total. Wind gusts to 35-40 mph (est) from the ESE noted during the squall and also this morning shortly before sunrise.
10/10/2018 7:00 AM 0.38 M M M M Hurray! Yesterday's rain was the first significant rainfall since the first week in September.
10/11/2018 7:00 AM 0.23 M M M M Additional welcome rain fell during the late afternoon when the tail end of a broken line of thunderstorms associated with Michael's circulation came racing out of the SW and pushed across the coast.
10/12/2018 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M After a warm afternoon high of 91F under a west wind with a clearing, then mostly sunny sky in the afternoon, it was 73F this morning, the coolest morning low in many months.
10/13/2018 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 68F this morning with light NW wind, First low temperature below 70F since mid-May.
10/14/2018 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Following the coolest morning low since mid-May yesterday, an early onshore wind kicked in from the NE/E mid-morning, keeping the high temperature from exceeding 85F yesterday for the first time in many months. Combined with low humidity, it was our first taste of fall along the coast in central Volusia County.

10/19/2018 7:00 AM 0.02 M M M M Yesterday morning, a moderate intensity coastal shower camped out over the ocean just offshore to the ESE for over an hour, dumping nearly an inch (Doppler estimate) on the ocean but only 0.02" in my dusty rain gauge one block inland from the beach.
10/20/2018 7:00 AM 0.09 M M M M Less than 1/10th of an inch fell here as the promising batch of showers that moved onshore yesterday morning dumped much more rain just to the north along the coast and inland than at my location. Still, every drop of rain lately is appreciated given how dry it has been here over the past several months.
10/21/2018 7:00 AM 0.11 M M M M A very isolated, brief "freak" early evening shower around 8 pm that formed just inland tracked ESE across the coast right over my rain gauge, depositing a tad over 1/10th of an inch of cool rain to wash the dust and salt off drought-parched vegetation. While any moisture is greatly appreciated, 3 straight days of measureable precipitation totaled a meager 0.22", and several days of dry/windy weather behind the overnight cold front will quickly desiccate vegetation once again until we get a good soaker.
10/22/2018 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Dew point dropped into the low 60's this morning along the coast here in central Volusia County, providing the first taste of fall weather thanks to lower humidity (though the stiff NE breeze off the 79F ocean did not allow the overnight low to drop below 70F).
10/23/2018 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M
10/24/2018 7:00 AM 0.02 M M M M A narrow band of moderate, quasi-stationary coastal showers visible 10 miles up the coast to the north for much of the mid to late afternoon deposited 1/2-2+ inches of rain but was unable to propagate southward. The meager 0.02" that I measured started around 6 pm and was the product of over an hour of the lightest drizzle imaginable.
10/25/2018 7:00 AM 0.10 M M M M Pre-dawn coastal showers produced wetting rainfall along the Volusia County Atlantic coast. 1/4 to 1/2" fell a few miles up the coast to the north and 25 miles to the south nearly an inch fell along the north end of the Mosquito Lagoon.
10/26/2018 7:00 AM 4.45 M M M M Hurray- much needed precipitation finally at my location. Most of the 4.45" received yesterday fell in a 2-hour period of torrential rainfall either side of noon. It was the greatest one-day rain event since Hurricane Matthew in early October 2016.
10/27/2018 7:00 AM 0.05 M M M M A brief late morning shower associated with the approaching cold front after yesterday's deluge from training rain bands associated with a coastal trough.
10/28/2018 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M This morning's crisp/breezy low of 58F is the first full taste of fall for this part of Florida after a record warm September and first 3 weeks of October. It's amusing to see locals breaking out winter coats this morning to walk on the beach under bright sunshine, but after a long, hot summer the blood does thin and the abrupt drop in overnight temperatures from the 70's down to the 50's does feel rather chilly.
10/29/2018 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Brrrr! 55F observed this morning under clear and calm conditions. This is the coolest reading since mid-April (over 6 months ago).

11/1/2018 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M I measured Atlantic Ocean temperature of 78F yesterday afternoon on low tide at Sun Glow Pier.
11/2/2018 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M No measureable (or technically trace) precipitation yesterday, though I did feel several very light drops of moisture on my shoulder late in the afternoon, either from the low stratus clouds that pushed off the coast from the SW or a flock of pelicans returning to Bird Island after fishing in the surf.
11/3/2018 7:00 AM 0.35 M M M M 57F at 7am obsn.
11/4/2018 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Overcast, wind east 15 mph and very mild (low 70's) at sunrise this morning considering the moderate breeze off the 76F Atlantic Ocean. A line of showers with embedded thunderstorms 60 miles to the SSE impacting central Brevard County may hold together and arrive here mid-morning if it holds together as the warm front lifts up central Florida's east coast.
11/5/2018 6:00 AM 0.67 M M M M Three distinct periods of brief moderate intensity showers over the past 24 hours. The first measured 0.33" in the mid-morning, the second measured 0.13" in the late afternoon (accompanied by distant thunder), and the last measured 0.21" in the pre-dawn hours early this morning.
11/6/2018 7:00 AM T M M M M Overcast, wind light south and a very mild/muggy 73F this morning with heavy dew.

11/10/2018 7:00 AM 0.23 M M M M A narrow line of thunderstorms pushing eastward across the coast out into the Atlantic in the evening. My location in central coastal Volusia was on the tail end of the line, and for 10 minutes starting around 9:30 pm moderate to heavy rain was observed before the thunderstorm moved out to sea.

11/13/2018 7:00 AM 0.31 M M M M Partly cloudy, 72F with wind light south at 7am this morning. Wouldn't you know it... Re-roof project started yesterday on the garage and light to occasionally moderate rain started around 11 am and continued until 4pm, stopping the work. While the rain is appreciated, the timing isn't.
11/14/2018 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M A very muggy morning with temperature 75F at sunrise.
11/15/2018 7:00 AM 0.21 M M M M Pre-dawn pre-frontal brief "blast" of heavy rain, followed by 10 minutes of large rain drop "sprinkles" heralded the much anticipated FROPA. Temperature dropped 10F from 74F at 5 am to 64F at sunrise.
11/16/2018 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Brrrr!!!! Temperature was 44F at sunrise with wind 10 mph out of the NNW. Observed low stratus/steam fog hugging the warm (77F) Atlantic Ocean coastal waters.

11/20/2018 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Widely scattered rain showers to the west and north on radar early this morning. Locally, mostly cloudy at sunrise with lowering sky as moisture pools ahead of a weak cold front pushing into north Florida today.
11/21/2018 7:00 AM 0.19 M M M M This morning's low was 56F with mostly clear sky and a WNW wind of 5 mph.

11/23/2018 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Mostly clear, 68F with wind east 18 mph, gusting to 23 mph at sunrise. Overnight low was 64F recorded before midnight. Onshore wind increased after midnight, and sustained wind was 35 mph gusting to 35 mph at 2 am. Wind settled down a bit by sunrise. The surf is very rough and this morning's high tide hit the sea wall and eroded the fledgling dune that had built up some last summer in the absence of nearby hurricane activity for the first time in 3 years.
11/24/2018 7:00 AM 0.03 M M M M A brief mid-afternoon coastal sprinkle yesterday accounted for the measureable but meager precipitation. Heavier rain showers were seen a few miles north and south of my location.
11/25/2018 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M
11/26/2018 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Overnight low was a mild and moist 63F with heavy dew. Will not see a night-time low above 60F for the remainder of the week as very cold Canadian/Arctic air mass invading the SE US is poised to push into central Florida on Tuesday. Thickening cirrostratus moved in from the west at sunrise, obscuring the fleeting moon.
11/27/2018 7:00 AM 0.21 M M M M Morning low was 50F with a brisk NW wind. Yesterday afternoon's brief, fast-moving shower around 4:15 pm was preceded by several distant rumbles of thunder from a strong thunderstorm to the NW near Deleon Springs
11/28/2018 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Clear and 41 F with a steady wind NW 10 mph making it feel even colder.
11/29/2018 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Overnight low was 42F. At 7 am obsn: 44F, wind NW 7 mph, mostly clear sky off the deck up to 10k, with wisps of high-altitude cirrus streaming in from the west.

12/1/2018 7:00 AM 0.01 M M M M After an unseasonably cold period starting Tuesday evening, it's much milder this morning with scattered sprinkles tracking quickly from SW to NE given the warm front lifting northward up the Florida peninsula.
12/2/2018 7:00 AM 0.08 M M M M
12/3/2018 7:00 AM 0.02 M M M M After a record high yesterday of 86F followed by a late afternoon sprinkle, then flashes of lightning visible in departing thunderstorms well offshore in the Atlantic Ocean at sunset, this morning's low was a balmy 72F with a SSW wind of 5 mph.
12/4/2018 7:00 AM 0.19 M M M M Yesterday's high temperature was 87F at my location in central coastal Volusia one block off the Atlantic Ocean. Even though surf temperature is in the 60's, a moderate to strong SW surface wind flow all day allowed for the exceptionally warm December reading along the coast. Inland, some locations hit 90F, shattering long-standing records for early December.
12/5/2018 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M A clear, chilly morning with a pre-dawn temperature of 49F and wind NNW 8 mph.
12/6/2018 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M After a very cool daytime high of only 61F yesterday with a brisk north wind of 15 mph, this morning's low was 43F with wind NNW 5 mph. These temperatures are more characteristic of cold outbreaks in January and are a good 10-15F below normal for early December.
12/7/2018 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Water temperature in the Mosquito Lagoon near Bethune Beach/Silver Sands measured 64F early this morning following the latest cold snap.

12/9/2018 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Thickening clouds moving rapidly in from the west. A unifying line of showers with embedded t-storms is moving onshore along the Florida west coast near Cedar Key and will hopefully hold together as it crosses the peninsula to provide beneficial rainfall here is central coastal Volusia County.
12/10/2018 7:00 AM 0.79 M M M M Very beneficial, soaking rain yesterday morning from 9:15 until 11:30 am. The 0.79" event was the greatest one-day total since the late October.
12/11/2018 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M After a cold/cloudy/windy day yesterday with high temp struggling to reach 60F, the morning low was 44F with a NW wind of 10 mph.
12/12/2018 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M After a high yesterday of only 57F, the morning low (so far) is a surprisingly "high" 44F due to a steady moderate NW wind preventing ideal radiational cooling.
12/13/2018 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Overnight low was 57F observed before midnight.
12/14/2018 7:00 AM T M M M M Overcast at sunrise this morning with wind light south. The overnight low was a mild 67F. A trace of rain was observed yesterday afternoon around 3:30 pm.
12/15/2018 7:00 AM 0.91 M M M M After an afternoon of drizzle and light rain, a brief heavy downpour with a rumble or two of thunder around 1:30 am accounted for the bulk of the beneficial 0.91" received in the past 24 hours.
12/16/2018 7:00 AM 0.02 M M M M Very light passing shower just before sunrise, with a brilliant full rainbow in the west just after sunrise.

12/20/2018 7:00 AM 0.53 M M M M Off/on light to moderate rain since 11 pm last night, then a brief burst of heavy rain just before 7am. Wind surprisingly light south at time of obsn, though expected to ramp up from the S/SW later today.
12/21/2018 7:00 AM 2.31 M M M M Very beneficial, long-duration rainfall event yesterday brings December total (to date) to 5.04" (250% of normal for what is historically one of the driest months).
12/22/2018 7:00 AM 0.06 M M M M 47F with wind WNW 7 mph this morning. Sustained west winds of 20-30 mph yesterday, and several very brief clusters of low-topped, light to moderate rain showers racing west to east in the afternoon produced wind gusts approaching 50 mph.

1/14/2019 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Currently 57F, mostly cloudy with wind NNW 10 mph. Notable weather past 24 hours: A wind gust of 30 mph (est) from the NNW at 2:30 am this morning signaled the dry cold front's arrival. Yesterday's high was an unseasonably warm 80F with mostly sunny sky and a steady WSW offshore wind. The beach was packed but there were few (other than surfers) "braving" the 64F Atlantic Ocean surf.
1/15/2019 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Current: 50F, mostly clear with wind NW 4 mph. Yesterday's high was only 63F under mostly cloudy skies and a steady NNW wind of 10-18 mph.

1/24/2019 7:30 AM 0.83 M M M M This morning's precip obsn was delayed 15 minutes to wait for a break in the heavy rain and intermittent lightning.
1/25/2019 7:00 AM 0.22 M M M M Temperature at obsn time: 42F Temperature continues to drop this morning given the brisk NNW wind. The precip entered this morning occurred immediately after yesterday morning's 0.82 inch observation.

2/24/2019 7:00 AM T M M M M A very mild overnight low of 72F. Yesterday several brief early afternoon big-drop "sprinkles" spotted the sun-baked pavement but did not end up measureable.
2/25/2019 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M A very warm and breezy Sunday with a high of 87F and wind SW/W 10-20 mph. Atlantic surf temperature still chilly with 63F personally observed (while "skinning it" on my long board) just north of the Sun Glow pier.
2/26/2019 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M After the coolest day in weeks yesterday (high was 68F) with a brisk north wind), this overnight low was above normal (63F) given the onshore wind off the relatively mile Atlantic Ocean.
2/27/2019 7:00 AM 0.10 M M M M A long-duration light/cool rain event that started mid-afternoon and extended into early evening totaled 0.10".
2/28/2019 6:00 AM 0.12 M M M M Currently 64F, overcast (low stratus), wind WSW 5 mph. Yesterday afternoon's light shower deposited a disappointing 0.09" in the gauge, followed by 0.03" from another brief light shower in the evening. With a dry day forecast, looks like February will close out below normal with 1.45" for the month.
3/1/2019 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Currently 63F, wind light west with increasing multi-layer cloud cover. sky was completely clear when I woke up at 4 am.
3/2/2019 7:00 AM 0.23 M M M M A brief moderate shower yesterday evening around 7 pm provided beneficial wetting rainfall.
3/3/2019 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M A mild morning with 66F and wind light S/SW at time of obsn.
3/4/2019 7:00 AM 0.03 M M M M Yesterday's high temperature was 88F with mostly sunny sky and an offshore SW wind all day. A broken, fast-moving pre-frontal "outflow" bow of light to moderate showers generated by strong convection in the Gulf of Mexico just offshore from the Big Bend/Nature Coast overnight raced across the east central Florida coast in the early morning hours, barely wetting the ground at my location.
3/5/2019 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M At 7 am obsn: 58F with overcast sky, wind NNW 5 mph
3/6/2019 7:00 AM 0.02 M M M M Currently clear and 40F with a NNW wind of 13 mph. Temperature may continue to drop into the upper 30's given the ongoing CAA, possibly making it the coldest morning (39F) of what has been a relatively mild.
3/7/2019 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Morning low was 45F after a chilly high yesterday of only 61F.
3/8/2019 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Morning low 51F with a clear sky and a light NW wind.

3/18/2019 7:00 AM 0.06 M M M M 7 am obsn: 63F, overcast with wind NE 15 mph gusting to 25 mph. The 24-hr high/low(F): 62/55 Yesterday's high temperature occurred mid-morning, followed by a gradual decline to the mid-50's in the afternoon. The temperature actually rose back up into the low 60's overnight given the veering surface wind becoming more onshore off the milder Atlantic Ocean.
3/19/2019 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 64F, overcast with a north wind of 15 mph, gusting to 20+ mph. Given the dry air in place this morning (dew pts in the 40's), and even with rain chance 60% today, I'm not expecting much more than a sprinkle from the solid rain shield lurking over the south half of Florida overnight and early this morning. A good soaker is sorely needed here since barely 1/3" measured so far this month, unfortunately my location in east central Volusia County looks to lie just north of a sharp precip gradient for this rain event.
3/20/2019 7:00 AM 1.04 M M M M Currently 63F, mostly cloudy with wind NE 16 gusting to 22 mph. Interesting weather day yesterday... Under a thick cloud shield and brisk N/NE wind with several periods of light sprinkles (measuring only 0.04" during daylight hours)temperature struggled in the low to mid-60's. A brief period of lighter wind and sunshine around 3 pm allowed for the day's high to reach 68F. Then, around 6 pm a steady light to moderate rain started, which was followed by a heavy rain and strong (30+mph) NE wind between 9-10 pm, producing the first significant rain event since early in February.
3/21/2019 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M At 7 am obsn: 53F, wind NW 4 mph, mostly clear (10% cumulus and altocumulus).

3/23/2019 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Morning low was 47F, with a calm wind and moderate dew.
3/24/2019 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M After yesterday morning's low in the upper 40's, this morning is considerably milder with 60F, thin/high cloud cover and light east wind.
3/25/2019 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M A mild 65F this morning, with overcast sky and wind light south.
3/26/2019 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Morning low was a seasonal and very comfortable 58.5F. Anticipating the much advertised early spring nor'easter that is forecast to kick in early Wednesday morning. QPF suggests a 3-4" (possibly higher) precip bullseye over my coastal rain gauge here in DBS. Will be interesting to see exactly where the convergence zone sets up along the coast.
3/27/2019 7:00 AM 0.05 M M M M Currently mostly clear, 63F with a NNE wind of 20 mph. The 0.05" rain occurred late afternoon yesterday. The much advertised coastal rain event forecast to start before dawn today has yet to arrive.
3/28/2019 7:00 AM 0.10 M M M M Currently 63F with a NNE wind of 15 mph gusting to 26 mph. Yesterday saw temperature drop from the mid-60's in the morning into the 50's by sunset with a gale force north wind. Wetting (though meager) rain showers arrived by evening, accounting for a disappointingly low 1/10" out of the much ballyhooed coastal low rain event.

It was proceeded (by several minutes) by a strong (30+ mph) outflow wind gust from the WNW that dropped the temperature 10F in a matter of minutes. This was followed by torrential rainfall and close proximity lightning for 30 minutes, then an hour of light to moderate rain. This beneficial rain event was the first 2" or greater 24-hr total for 2019 (last observed December 21, 2018).

4/13/2019 7:00 AM 0.37 M M M M A brief moderate to heavy shower around 2 am this morning accounted for the 0.37". While April is normally one of the driest months of the year for east central Florida, just 2 weeks into the month over 3" measured- over twice the amount received in February and March combined.

4/29/2019 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M Morning low only dropped down to 68F due to consistent 5-10 mph breeze off the nearby Atlantic Ocean. The waning crescent moon had a distinct, double image visible a few degrees to the left (east) of the actual moon. I first noticed at 6:17am and observed it for approx. 5 minutes before it disappeared well before sunrise. I have never seen this before- my guess is it is related to pre-dawn light interacting with moisture in the lower atmosphere. I woke my bride up to verify and she saw the same.

5/6/2019 7:00 AM 1.52 M M M M At 7 am obsn: 69F, partly cloudy (thin cirrus), wind light SW. Yesterday afternoon a line of heavy thunderstorms moved rapidly in from the WSW shortly before 2 pm, followed quickly by a second cluster of thunderstorms, then light to moderate debris rainfall on the backside of the complex that lated until 4 pm. Outflow ahead of the storm's torrential rainfall produced a 10-minute period of high winds (est gusting to 45 mph from the west) that dropped the temperature from 85F to 70F in less than 30 minutes.

5/13/2019 7:00 AM 0.02 M M M M High yesterday: 91F Low this morning: 72F Blow-off from a broken line of fast-moving, decaying inland thunderstorms crossed the coast mid-afternoon, barely wetting the pavement for a few minutes before the return of sizzling sun the rest of the afternoon.
5/14/2019 7:00 AM 1.21 M M M M At 7 am obsn: 71F, overcast, wind WSW 4 mph. A brief/heavy thunderstorm rapidly pushing across the coast from the west around 11:30 am yesterday morning dumped 0.70" in 10 minutes and dropped the temperature from 85F to 72F. The downburst was followed by several hours of light to moderate rain for an additional 1/2" of beneficial/soaking precipitation.

5/26/2019 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M At 7 am obsn: 73F, calm and clear. There was not a single cloud all day yesterday given the dome of high pressure directly overhead. Yesterday the high temperature reached 89F at my location one block from the Atlantic Ocean before a weak "cooling" sea breeze kicked in around noon, knocking the temperature down a degree or two but increasing the surface humidity. Expecting to top 90F today before the sea breeze.
5/27/2019 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M At 7 am obsn: 73F, partly cloudy, wind SW 3 mph. Another hot/dry day on tap with high temperature possibly exceeding 90F here one block from the Atlantic. Holiday tourists are happy with this weather, but my landscape isn't.

After several weeks of zero chance for rain, with many days without a single cloud to provide a break in the relentless sunshine, NWS Melbourne optimistically forecasts 30% chance of scattered storms this afternoon due to increasing moisture at the surface.
6/1/2019 7:00 AM 0.05 M M M M An isolated thunderstorm dropped down the coast from the NW around 6:30pm. The core of the storm cell tracked down I-95 and US 1 through mainland New Smyrna Beach and Edgewater wit brief torrential rain, frequent lightning, and hail. My coastal location in central Volusia County received a meager light rain accompanied by several close lightning strikes.
6/2/2019 7:00 AM 0.83 M M M M At 6 am obsn: 74F, clear sky, wind SW 4 mph with smell of smoke from smoldering inland brush fires. The first "meaningful" rainfall in nearly 3 weeks was produced by a quick-hitting mid-afternoon thunderstorm. The 20-minute deluge was preceded by about a half dozen close-proximity lightning strikes and a wind gust of 40 mph (est) that scattered beachgoers and led to frenzied motorists trying to leave the peninsula.
6/3/2019 7:00 AM 0.17 M M M M At 7 am obsn: 74F, dead calm. Even the banana tree leaves are completely still this morning. A very brief/isolated late afternoon shower brought the 2-day precipitation total up to one inch.
6/4/2019 7:00 AM 0.44 M M M M At 7 am obsn: 75F, mostly cloudy (cirrus/cirrostratus), calm wind. Yesterday's humid early afternoon high of 91F was mitigated nicely by a 230-3pm thunderstorm that dropped the temperature down to 76F. The sun came back out later in the afternoon, allowing temperature to recover to 85F by 6 pm.

6/8/2019 7:00 AM 0.16 M M M M At 7 am obsn: 76F, cloudy, wind SSW 5 mph. My location once again just missed the heaviest part of the mid-afternoon thunderstorm that scooted across the coast several miles to the south.
6/9/2019 7:00 AM 0.33 M M M M 6 am obsn: 75F, mostly cloudy, wind light south. Just before sunrise the gradually illuminating sky reveals a narrow cloud-free slot (approx. 9-11 am in the sky) that will quickly fill in as cirrus and cirrostratus streams in from the west from ongoing pre-dawn convection over the west side of the peninsula.
6/10/2019 7:00 AM 1.00 0.0 M M M At 7 am obsn: 74F, mostly cloudy, wind south 4 mph. It took most of the afternoon and evening for the beneficial, soaking showers with occasional thunder to total exactly one inch by midnight (the first 1" or greater 24-hr rainfall total since mid-May at my location).
6/11/2019 7:00 AM 0.03 M M M M At 7 am obsn: 73F, mostly clear (20% wispy cirrus), wind SW 3 mph. A mid to late afternoon thunderstorm complex that tracked west to east crossed the coast just south of my central Volusia coast station.

6/13/2019 7:00 AM 0.21 M M M M At 7 am obsn: 76F, cloudy, wind SW 4 mph. While many areas of east central Florida within 50 miles of my central Volusia coastal location have received over 5 inches of rain during the past week, my thirsty rain gauge (though precipitation measured 7 consecutive days) has missed out on the "big" rains with a total of only 2.15 inches.
6/14/2019 7:00 AM 0.18 M M M M At 7 am obsn: 73F, partly cloudy (cirrus), wind WNW 2 mph. Yesterday was the 8th straight day with measureable precipitation. While most parts of central Florida have exceeded (by 1.5-2 inches) the climo mid-June precipitation during this wet period, my location is an inch below normal.
6/15/2019 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M At 7 am obsn: 75F, wind ENE 5 mph, partly cloudy sky with thin veil of cirrus. Yesterday's goose egg broke the string of 8 consecutive days with measureable precipitation and is likely the start of an extended run of relatively dry days at my east central Florida coastal location unless an isolated shower embedded in the onshore flow skitters in off the Atlantic Ocean.

Sky through sunrise was impressive this morning with moon-lit, milky-white wispy pre-dawn cirrus turning salmon-pink as the sun crested the Atlantic Ocean. Yesterday's long-duration (3-hour) rainfall was very welcome following a 10-day period of missing significant precipitation events at my east central Florida coastal location.
6/21/2019 7:00 AM T M M M M At 7 am obsn: 77F, clear, wind SW 7 mph. Yesterday's high temperature hit 93F at 3 pm, about the same time a very light sun-sprinkle passed rapidly by in the strong WSW flow. The added humidity made the "feels like" temperature a nearly unbearable 108F.
6/22/2019 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M At 7am obsn: 77F, wind WSW 5 mph, clear. You know it is a hot day when metal in the shade feels warm to touch. Yesterday's high was a scorching 97F at 2:40 pm at my location one block from the Atlantic Ocean in east central Volusia county.
6/23/2019 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 7 am obsn: 76F, mostly clear, wind light/variable. In the absence of any sea breeze, yesterday's high temperature at my location one block from the Atlantic Ocean was 94F at 4:30 pm. It was "held down" from reaching the upper 90's (like it did the previous day) only by mid-day cloud cover.
6/24/2019 7:00 AM 0.02 M M M M Yesterday's high temperature was 94F. The meager but measureable precipitation was observed mid-afternoon with the sun still out, resulting in a very steamy remainder of the day.
6/25/2019 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M At 7 am obsn: 79F, wind light west. A moderate dew this morning indicative of the high dew point temperature and the nearly saturated surface layer of the atmosphere.
6/26/2019 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M At 7 am obsn: 76F, wind light NW, hazy with a few high clouds. Rain is desperately needed at my location after a week of dry weather and little cloud cover.

6/28/2019 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M At 7 am obsn: 77F, mostly clear, dead calm wind. Precipitation is desperately needed at my coastal location, or at least more cloud cover, to mitigate the current 10-day rain-free run. Forecast POP's for coastal Vousia remain low today, then increase over the weekend. Still, it looks like my dry spot will have to wait until Sunday afternoon or Monday when steering currents overwhelm the sea breeze and allow the showers and storms building inland to drift back across the coast.
6/29/2019 7:00 AM T M M M M At 7 am obsn: 78F, cloudy, wind calm. 3 non-measureable drops of rain occurred overnight as evident by the wide-spaced spattered dust/salt layer on my truck's bed. A wind gust of 35 mph from the SSE was observed yesterday evening around 9:30 pm produced by outflow from showers along the coast near Cape Canaveral 40 miles to the SSE.
6/30/2019 7:00 AM 1.42 M M M M At 7 am obsn: 75F, partly cloudy, wind light SW. Yesterday's beneficial rainfall fell shortly after noon with the first 9/10ths falling in 15 minutes. This downburst was followed by an hour of light to moderate rain adding another 1/2 inch.
7/1/2019 7:00 AM 0.26 M M M M At 7 am obsn: 75F, partly cloudy, WSW 3 mph. After receiving 0.08" in a late afternoon shower, a brief evening thunderstorm at 11 pm, preceded by a 10-minute period of close-proximity cloud to ground lightning strikes, deposited another 0.18" of rain.
7/2/2019 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M At 7 am obsn: 77F, wind SW 4 mph, mostly clear.

7/7/2019 7:00 AM 0.66 M M M M At 7 am obsn: 75F, mostly cloudy, wind light SSW. Yesterday's beneficial rainfall started around 1:15 pm when several big-drop "spurts" crossed the coast from the SW depositing a quick 1/4". Later in the afternoon blow-back from a large thunderstorm complex to the south contributed 3 hours of light to moderate rain accounting for the remainder of the total.
7/8/2019 7:00 AM 1.70 M M M M At 7 am obsn: 77F, partly cloudy, wind SSW 7 mph. Mid-afternoon thunderstorms developing to the NW and SSW collided over my east-central coastal Volusia County location resulting in a 45-minute period of moderate to heavy rainfall followed by several hours of light showers. The total of 1.70" is the greatest 24-hr precipitation event since 2.09" was entered on 4/9/19.
7/9/2019 7:00 AM 0.25 M M M M At 7 am obsn: 76F, partly cloudy with fog (visibility 1 mile), wind light south. Yesterday's 1/4" rain was produced by a brief early afternoon downpour accompanied by several close-proximity lightning strikes. Heavier thunderstorms were noted just inland (west of the ICWW) from my location on the coast.
7/10/2019 7:00 AM 0.74 M M M M At 7 am obsn: 74F, mostly clear, wind light south. Another round of showers with a few rumbles of thunder came up the peninsula from the south late in the afternoon, helping total precipitation for the last 5 days top 3".
7/11/2019 7:00 AM 0.56 M M M M At 7 am obsn: 76F, mostly clear, wind south 4 mph. The wet streak of 6 straight days with measureable rain continues with a 15-minute lightning-free tropical downpour shortly before dusk yesterday afternoon.
7/12/2019 7:00 AM 0.40 M M M M At 7 am obsn: 75F, clear, wind light south. A wind gust from the south of 50 mph (est) was observed during a brief torrential rain "squall" that pushed up the coast from the south around 4pm. Yesterday was the 7th straight day with measureable rainfall. The wet streak has a 60% chance of continuing today before high pressure ridges into east Florida from the Atlantic and a drier air mass establishes by the weekend.
7/13/2019 7:00 AM 1.86 M M M M At 7 am obsn: 74F, mostly cloudy, wind calm. Yesterday's late afternoon thunderstorm produced torrential rainfall and close-proximity lightning during the first 30 minutes when the bulk (1.5") fell. This was followed by a 4-hour period of light rainfall that added another 0.36".
7/14/2019 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M At 7 am obsn: 74F, partly cloudy, calm. Yesterday's rain-free weather broke the 8-day streak of measureable precip. and was the "coolest" day (87F) in many weeks given the multi-level cloud cover most of the day limiting solar heating.

7/21/2019 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M 8th consecutive day without measureable rainfall.

7/23/2019 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M At 7 am obsn: 75F, mostly clear, wind light SW. In the heart of the rainy season this is the 10th consecutive daily observation without measureable precipitation. An extended run of dry days along the coast near Cape in July are not all that unusual in the absence of tropical activity when the western extension of the Bermuda High promotes an early and vigorous sea breeze that pushes convection inland.
7/24/2019 7:00 AM 0.15 M M M M At 7 am obsn: 76F, partly cloudy, wind south 7 mph. Yesterday's fast-moving, very brief showers and thunderstorms ended the 10-day rainless run but did little to alleviate the dry soil conditions. Categorical chance for rain today, hopefully longer duration.
7/25/2019 7:00 AM 0.26 M M M M At 7 am obsn: 71F, mostly cloudy, wind light WSW. Yesterday's mid-day thunderstorm raced out of the west and produced a wind gust from the WSW of 40 mph (est) and a 10-minute period of moderate to heavy wind-driven rain.
7/26/2019 7:00 AM 0.89 M M M M At 7 am obsn: 71F, mostly cloudy, wind light/variable. Yesterday's beneficial precipitation came in several showers. The first mid-morning moderate to briefly heavy shower deposited 0.56", then another post-sunset, early evening light to moderate shower added 0.33".
7/27/2019 7:00 AM 0.08 M M M M At 7 am obsn: 71F, wind light NW, sky partly cloudy. Much heavier rainfall was noted along the coast just south of my location during yesterday's mid-afternoon thunderstorm.

8/2/2019 7:00 AM 0.29 M M M M At 7 am obsn: 76F, wind calm, sky partly cloudy with towering cumulus offshore in the Atlantic several miles to the E/SE. Yesterday at 10am a wind gust of 35 mph was observed in a "squally" brief torrential rain shower.
8/3/2019 7:00 AM 0.64 M M M M At 7 am obsn: 75F, cloudy, wind near calm.
8/4/2019 7:00 AM T M M M M At 7 am obsn: 75F, clear, wind calm.
8/5/2019 7:00 AM 0.04 M M M M At 7 am obsn: 77F, partly cloudy, wind SW 2 mph. A late afternoon inland thunderstorm moving quickly west split when it pushed across the coast into the Atlantic Ocean, leaving only 0.04" in the rain gauge.

8/7/2019 7:00 AM 0.37 M M M M At 7 am obsn: 76F, partly cloudy, wind SW 3 mph.
8/8/2019 7:00 AM 0.04 M M M M At 7 am obsn: 75F, mostly clear, wind SW 5 mph. Another disappointing insignificant rainfall total when yesterday's strong thunderstorm activity charged out of the west across the central Florida peninsula before skittering off to the SE, inundating south Volusia and Brevard County once again. Still, hoping for the first 1"+ rain event in nearly one month (last was on 7/13) before the forecast for stronger sea breezes push inland activity back away from the coast.
8/9/2019 7:00 AM T M M M M At 7 am obsn: 74F, sky mostly clear, wind light SW. I have observed precipitation on 14 of the last 15 days, yet total for the period is only 2.86". Coastal locations just 15 miles to the south have received this much or more in one day on multiple occasions. Wet season (since June 1st) rainfall total for my observation station is 15.65". Some coastal stations 15 miles to the north have received a little less (12-14") than my location, and coastal stations to the south have received quite a bit more (20+ inches).
8/10/2019 7:00 AM 1.45 M M M M At 7 am obsn: 77F, wind light SW, sky mostly clear. Hot/humid SW/W wind into early afternoon allowed for a record high temperature of 96F yesterday. A moderate sea breeze from the SE kicked in mid-afternoon, then a cluster of thunderstorms dropped down the coast from the NW, dumping 1.45" in 40 minutes- the first 1" plus rainfall event in nearly a month.
8/11/2019 7:00 AM 0.05 M M M M At 7 am obsn: 78F, partly cloudy, wind WSW 3 mph.
8/12/2019 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M At 7 am obsn: 79F, mostly clear, wind light SW.

8/14/2019 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M At 7 am obsn: 80F, partly cloudy, wind light south. Overnight low was a toasty 79F.
8/15/2019 7:00 AM 0.60 M M M M At 7 am obsn: 76F, partly cloudy, wind SW 4 mph. Yesterday's early afternoon thunderstorm blossomed over my coastal location when the outflow from a cluster of distant inland thunderstorms converged with a weak sea breeze. While the downpour only lasted 10 minutes, it put a very beneficial 6/10ths in the rain gauge. Media reports many inland and coastal locations to the south are experiencing chronic flooding due to daily deluges in excess of several inches. At my sandy/thirsty location in central coastal Volusia one block from the Atlantic Ocean, a 2" or greater rain event would be very welcome.
8/16/2019 7:00 AM 0.85 M M M M 7 am obsn: 76F, mostly cloudy, wind south 8 mph. Yesterday's welcome mid-afternoon thunderstorm produced a beneficial 0.85", occasional lightning, a wind gust from the WSW of 35 mph, and a 30-minute period of moderate to heavy rain followed by an hour of drizzle. While there are flood watches out for much of the Florida peninsula due to multiple rounds of heavy rainfall the past week, I welcome every drop of rain that falls on my thirsty coastal Volusia location that until this week had been running a precipitation deficit since the wet season begin June 1st.

8/24/2019 7:00 AM 0.49 M M M M At 7 am obsn: 78F, partly cloudy, wind calm. Yesterday's beneficial rainfall came from two brief/moderate intensity Atlantic coastal showers that came onshore- one late morning, then another mid-afternoon which produced a short-lived wind gust from the east of 30+ mph.
8/25/2019 7:00 AM T M M M M At 7 am obsn: 81F, partly cloudy, wind NE 7 mph. A very warm/humid pre-dawn with a consistent (but not cooling) breeze wind off the tepid 83F Atlantic Ocean.

8/27/2019 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M At 7 am obsn: 74F, wind light west, sky clear. Coolest morning in months thanks to the light offshore wind and considerably drier air mass depressing dew points into the low 70's.

I heard thunder at some time overnight, though not sure when or if I was dreaming it because I was in heavy sleep after a busy day preparing this old house (one block off the Atlantic Ocean in east-central Volusia County) for whatever Dorian may bring next week.
8/31/2019 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M At 7 am obsn: 81F, mostly clear, wind east 5 mph. Hoping Dorian obeys the latest model runs and stays offshore. Fortifying the property for 100+ winds, nearly through with prep work on my home one block off the Atlantic Ocean in central Volusia.
9/1/2019 7:00 AM 0.08 M M M M At 7 am obsn: 80F, partly cloudy (with showers in the area), wind ENE 9 mph. A quick-hitting coastal shower deposited a welcome wetting rain in what has been a relatively dry several weeks. Hope Dorian's passage (hopefully well offshore) brings beneficial rainfall for my parched coastal location w/o destructive winds.

9/6/2019 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M At 7 am obsn: 79F, partly cloudy, wind WSW 4 mph. Yesterday's high temperature was 94F given the stiff post-Dorian west wind preventing a cooling sea breeze from forming.
9/7/2019 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M At 7 am obsn: 71F, clear, wind light WSW. Yesterday's high temperature here one block from the Atlantic Ocean hit 96F and held in the 90's into shortly before sunset given the all-day absence of a seabreeze.
9/8/2019 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M At 7 am obsn: 75F, clear, wind light west. A moderate dew and sultry early morning low in the mid-70's indicates that humidity has returned following a brief post-Dorian respite. After yesterday mornings pleasantly cool, low humidity, yesterday's high temperature only managed 92F under a cloud-free sky. thanks to the early afternoon sea breeze keeping temperature from skying into the mid-90's like the previous day.
