Rainfall worth a million dollars in two hours, says weatherman
Hollis Bacon notes 2.14 inches of rain fell between 11 p.m. and 12:30 a.m. causing quick runoff into ditches and rivers. He warns a longer rainfall would have soaked in, while predicting more showers and warm temperatures across Florida. Tomato growers faced timing issues as much of the crop was already picked. A sun halo was observed when ice clouds at 14 000 feet refracted sunlight. The five day Florida forecast calls for mostly normal temperatures and scattered thunderstorms with over an inch of rain possible.
