Not part of the problem
My granddaddy used to say (somewhat inelegantly) that it rains two days in a forest for every one day in the rest of the world. Apparently it can rain in a forest when it hasn't even rained outside of it at all.
What happen is that we had another of those dramatic fronts sweep through and drop the temperature but something like 35℉ (nearly 20℃) over the course of an evening. It wasn't a dry heat either, so a lot of the moisture precipitated out as dew and collected on foliage. So it was drizzling under the trees this morning while there was at most a light mist elsewhere.
Until that Floridian asked me about them last month, it never occurred to me that those kinds of fronts don't occur elsewhere. Even the old-fashioned weather maps which depict them as huge bands of red and blue seem to have dried up. I can find radar maps, temperature maps, wind maps, etc. online but if Weather.com et al. still have those kinds of meteorological charts available, I don't know where they hide them.
