Key Largo Thunder and Rain


The Upper Keys received a quick soaking from mother nature this evening. Storms that formed this afternoon over mainland South Florida pushed quikly south eastward toward Key Largo down to Islamorada producing moderate to heavy rainfall thru that part of the island chain. Precip total amounts are still being tallied up but any official amounts won't be disseminated until tomorrow morning. From some unofficial amounts that I have access to, totals range from around a third of an inch up to a half an inch. Nothing extraordinary from this evening's event but it does serve as a reminder that the mainland rainy season in South Florida has begun and it has historically always affected the Upper Keys weather regime in mid May thru early July.
