Springtime in Northwest Florida

Those folks shivering in the record-setting May snowfall across the Plains and upper Midwest states should take note that spring has arrived here in Santa Rosa Beach!  Daily high temperatures are climbing into the low 70's and morning lows have been bottoming out in the mid-50's.  Even the heavy rainfall forecast across the southern U.S. courtesy of a cutoff low pressure system will remain mostly to the north of our area this week. 
In fact, after a bout with some showers today (Friday) that could drop a quarter- to a half-inch of moisture to fuel our flower growth the only potential rainfall over the next several days will stem from a "cold" front that will sweep the clouds and dampness out of the area as shown in this forecast graphic for Saturday evening:

The orange star marks our location.

 By next Friday (5/10) the temperatures here will be flirting with the 80 degree mark.  Sound better than snow and overcast skies?  Plan on coming down here soon!!!
