This morning's entry for my station (FL-VL-42) part of the CoCoHaRS network: 7AM: 76F, CLOUDY WITH LIGHT (OCCASIONALLY MODERATE) RAIN, WIND NE 13 MPH. MOST (4.20") OF THE 5.19" RAINFALL PAST 24-HRS FELL IN A 1-HOUR PERIOD FROM 4-5 AM THIS MORNING.

An additional 0.70" measured today (up until 8pm) as additional scattered/brief showers continue to funnel in off the Atlantic riding the strong onshore flow from the NE 15-25 mph. Coastal erosion is significant here in DBS, and a few of the oceanfront properties that did not take armament measures following last fall's back to back tropical storms have suffered additional loss of soil and infrastructure from high tides that are running 2-3' above normal, exacerbated by 4-6' surf and run-off from a half foot of rain.. This pro-longed event is every bit as bad as a medium-end tropical storm in coastal Volusia county.
