CONSTRUCTION WORKERS WILL HAVE TO FIND A DIFFERENT WATER SOURCE AND NOBODY IN THE AREA WILL BE ABLE TO USE THEIR SPRINKLERS AT ALL ANYMORE IF THEY'RE CONNECTED TO THE MID-HAWTHORN AQUIFER. >> A WATER.

Though many Gulf Coast communities saw no rain on Tuesday, at least a few areas picked up some measurable rainfall. Tuesday's minimal rain tallies are notable because there have only been two days since March 29 where rain amounts of more than a trace have been observed in Fort Myers. Based on rain gauge reports from our Gulf Coast News Weather Now network, Punta Gorda Airport was the rainiest location in our area with .38" on Tuesday.

ARE UNDER BURN BANS BECAUSE OF THESE DRY CONDITIONS. >> YEAH, WE'RE JUST GOING TO BE DRY, DRY, DRY UNTIL END OF MAY JUNE AT THE EARLIEST. WE JUST DON'T HAVE A SOAKING RAIN HEADED OUR WAY. WE HAVE A FEW RAIN SHOWERS HERE. THAT DOESN'T DO IT. THAT CHAZ AND SOMETIMES WHEN WE START TO SEE THAT SUMMER PATTERN KIND OF CREEP ON INTO THE FORECAST, IT COULD DO MORE HARM THAN GOOD BECAUSE YOU GET A FEW LIGHTNING STRIKES BUT NOT SUBSTANTIAL RAIN TO COME SATURATE THE GROUND.
