It actually rained tonight while I was at work, and driving home at 1AM this morning I saw where the roads were wet at various points around downtown Lakeland. Just enough to make the roads slippery, but just about any rain would be welcome at this point. Don't know if Richie had anything to do with it though. Speaking of the former, he's emerged into the BoC now, and is just a swirl of dry air clouds. Would be interesting to see how long the swirl of circulation lasts, and whether or not (shockingly if the former to me) convection fires up around the center.
