24-hr hi/lo(F): 82/51 Temperature at 7 am observation was 59F. The 51F low was observed shortly after midnight under calm conditions with near ideal radiational cooling, then a steady N/NW wind picked up through dawn, greatly moderating the cooling potential. The low of 51F was an 18-yr record low for date, shattering the previous low of 61F in 2006. It also represents the lowest temperature so early in the fall, occuring 5 days earlier than the previous earliest/lowest temperature of 51F recorded on October 10, 2000. |

The temperature dropped to 55F shortly before midnight, and held below that level for the remainder of the pre-dawn early morning. The farmer several miles down the road lamented that he did not get his fall garden in early enough to compensate for the slower growth due to the very cool nights below 60F. |

High yesterday: 48F Morning low: 20F
Low of 20.4F recorded at 7:22 am, shattering both the record low for date of 39F in 2004 and the 18-yr record low for any date/month of 22F previously recorded on a handfull of dates in January and once in December. It was below 32F only since 11 pm. However, decoupling of wind in the pre-dawn hours allowed a drop of 4F from 5:30am-7:22am. Ice formation on the bird bath was a solid sheet 9/16" thick. |

High yesterday: 72F Morning low: 43F
Yesterday's high of 72F was only the 4th day that the temperature was above 70F in December. This morning's low, while still a few degrees below normal, was the only the 7th night this month with a low temperature above 40F. The maximum daily low recorded so far was 46F on December 10th. Unless there is a significant warming trend, December 2010 will surely go down in the record books as one of the coldest in the past 50 years. |

High yesterday: 65F Morning low: 49F. Mist/fog at observation time. Most (0.34") precip fell yesterday nearly equally in two periods of light to moderate showers, the first between 11:30am-12:30pm and the second between 5:30-6:30pm. The morning low of 49F is the warmest daily (midnight to midnight) minimum temperature so far in December. Given that 50F is the average/normal daily low, this speaks volumes on just how cold the month has been to date. |

High yesterday: 49F Morning low: 19.5F (officially rounded up to 20F) observed @ 5:45am. This shatters the record for the date (35F in 2002) and breaks the 18-yr record for all dates of 20.4F observed just 2 weeks ago on 12/14. Yesterday's high of 49F was a record low for the 27th, breaking the previous min/max of 54F observed in 1995. Last night the temperature was below 32F since 6:30pm on 12/27; below 28F since 7:40pm; hit 26F @ 9pm; below 25F since 12:30am; between 20.6F and 19.5F from 4-7am.
Moderate frost observed at sunrise. Bird bath had 3/4" thick sheet of solid ice on it, (requiring a hammer to break through to measure thickness!).

High yesterday: 72F Morning low: 47F (warmest low of the month and still below climo!). December 2010 at this location was extremely notable for both temperature and rainfall. Two 18-yr all months/dates record lows were documented (20F on the 14th and again on the 28th, then broken by 18F on the 29th). December also had most freezes (14) of any month (previous was 11 in January 2010), and it was the first month ever that each day (midnight to midnight) had a minimum temperature below 50F (previous fewest 50F or greater days in a month (18-yr period of record) was 5 days, observed on 3 times. December 2010 was also driest December in 18-yrs with only 0.56" (previous was 0.66" in December 2001). |

High yesterday: 76F Morning low: 46F This morning's low of 46F makes 32 consecutive days with a minimum temperature below 50F, a remarkable stretch of sub-climo low temperatures and an 18-yr record. Previous longest stretch of sub-50F days was 16 observed last winter on February 6-21, 2010. Notable observations for 2010: June-Dec rainfall total was 15.1", by far the lowest total for the summer, fall and early winter for any year at this location since records started in 1992. Conversely, Jan-May precipitation (normally dry months) total was an astounding 25.79", an 18-yr record for the period. The annual total was 40.89" (2nd lowest in last 18 years behind 38.5" in 2000). 2010 was also noteable for temperature extremes. The previous lowest temperature (any date, 18-yrs of records) of 22F was tied Jan 6th then broken the following day (21F Jan 7th), broken again Dec 14th (20F), then tied Dec 28th (20F), and finally shattered the following day with 18F observed on Dec 29th (establishing the all-time low last 18-yrs!). On the opposite end of the temperature pendalum, summer 2010 was the warmest in the last 50 years for many east central Florida locations, and an 18-yr high temperature (any date) of 102F was set on July 30th, eclipsing the previous high of 101F observed on June 14, 1998.

High yesterday: 86F Morning low: 63F At 9am observation (delayed due to strong storms in area): thunderstorm with moderate to heavy rain, wind gust from SW to 45 mph observed at 8:20 am. Yesterday, a wind gust from the WSW of 70 mph (est) was observed 5:10 pm on 3/30 during a strong to severe t-storm. Numerous large limbs torn off trees by the near hurricane force winds. It appears that straight line winds associated with a bowing segment of the squall line that raced across east central Florida yesterday afternoon were responsible for the damaging winds. Strongest corridor of wind passed between Mims and Scottsmoor, where extensive damage (downed powerlines, trees and limbs) was incurred. I was driving north on US 1 through this area during the heigh of the storm around 5:10-5:15pm and had to slow to a crawl to avoid being blown off of the highway by the strong gusts. An 18-wheeler on I-95 to the west of my location was blown over onto its side during the storm. |

Of note, only 0.45" precip measured over last 2 weeks, though areas north and south received significantly more. The 8' deep drainage ditch that surrounds 3 sides of my property (now completely dry again after having puddles in it in early July) has not had flowing water in it since the middle of June 2010.
