They show three “tell tale” signs of the wet season:
(1) Afternoon cumulonimbus clouds rising out of the Everglades,
(2) Canals filled with water up to the brim, and
(3) A stout south wind from the south, (equal parts prevailing and sea breezes).
Does that mean we have an early start to the wet season?
Find out the stunning conclusion to this meteorological mystery tomorrow, in the journal’s weekly “Rain or Shine Report.”
But first, do you have any guesses?

Well my guess would be YES... BUT--I'm saying that since you all have had a drought and need the RAIN....
Up here, IF the signs called for rain, we'd be as dry as a bone. OR--if the signs called for sunshine, we would be cloudy and rainy...
SO--are our signs like yours???? In that case, I'd better change my answer to NO. ha ha

The prevailing winds there come from the south? I would have thought they came in from the Gulf (as in WNW).
Seems I've been hearing about quite a lot of rain in Florida recently, but not sure if it was your area.

Yes?...
Rob: I would say you do have the start of the wet season and may you get the water you need.
I want to say yes, but I'm concerned this may be a "trick question."
These are beautiful shots and my guess is maybe, ha.
Wet season--the Sequel. Can't wait!
I never heard of this "river of grass". Good to know.
Yellowstone NP has a stream called Slough Creek because it spreads out like a slough in places. In late summer, it's air clear and full of beautiful cutthroat throat.
All very good guesses, and yes, it was a trick one. But they are the funnest kind, and almost unavoidable with the water cycle, especially on April Fools Day!
Beautiful pictures!
