As to taking on extra fuel they have to go by the forecast weather. Remember, you are dealing with Florida. It's nothing for it to be rainging cats and dogs, and an hour later it's sunny. They took on extra fuel IN CASE the weather was bad. As it turns out it was not. But if they took the time to return to the gate, then the weateher was definatly expected to be a potential issue.
