We DID have a bit of an anomolous day here in West Central Fla yesterday. Almost a summer-type pattern of late afternoon T-Storms, some containing hail and some VERY heavy rains for March. I picked up 4 inches in the rain guage in Plant City, my folks also got 4 in along the south end of Lake Pierce near Lake Wales. This is very odd weather for the first week of April when we are usually in a very dry pattern with little lower level moisture in place. We have really had much more rain and more rain events in the past 2 months than in the past several years. Don't know what it means to hurricanes, but everything in weather connects to something else and I imagine that warmer GOM waters would contribute to low level moisture flow across our area. I know this probably doesn't belong in this thread, but there IS an aspect of discussing the out of the ordinary here. It was just a VERY unusual day for April 1 (fooled ME).
