A look at our #Euro and #GFS models show lighter amounts of rainfall across Central #florida than our mesoscale models but they also have rainfall farther north...l think our local mesoscale futurecast models are doing a better job. #weshwx

The latest drought monitor now shows that all of Central #florida is at least under a moderate to extreme drought. There is some rain in the forecast but it will take several days of rain to put a dent in our drought. Stay with #weshwx for updates.
