I saw it rain while the sun was out on 4 days.

We get occasional sunshowers, but most of the time it rains and stays cloudy for most of the afternoon.

Florida is actually cooler than most of the country. It only rains for 5 minutes here, then the sun comes out for the rest of the day.

Lol.

That used to happen all the time, now the last couple trips it's like the sun already forcing its way back out before the rain has even ended.

I don't remember the last time i saw any rain. I guess that was in may or something. What is it, Sacramento ?

Dewpoint dropped to around 60°F in the last hour. Inside under A/C so I don't notice it, will take a step outside soon. Hasn't reached Cambium yet...

That's it, I'm moving to MA. So will WU be right? and maybe the GFS?? 49 in Orange? WTF. 21 degree drop since 9am! 13 degrees in last 3 hours. National Weather Service : Observed Weather for past 3 Days : Orange, Orange Municipal Airport

I'm a bit skeptical of the 49°F from Orange. Weather underground had a bit bigger of a drop and earlier. North wind just came and cleared the air. I'm puzzled why the NWS doesn't forecast for the low to drop to the dewpoint.

Most of your summer rain is from convective storms, right?

I would be too but don't be. Remember when "I" was in the 40s and we were like WOW cause of my location? Other stations (White Plains) nearby was too. So maybe Orange is good. Now back up to 51. So maybe it did dip at that time.

And I see why maybe... check out the winds at that hour and before. Gust to 20mph! So that extra push dried the air out more.?

Not sure. Is it supposed to? I don't really follow that combo much. Maybe because it doesnt meet here alot? Last night would be a bad example since it was a hot night. But this month I got DPs in the 50s at night while low temp stayed in the 60s.
