Snowing In Florida Again

[flcyclone]

Isolated to low end scattered coverage of snow and sleet showers fell across the panhandle north region of Florida this morning. This is the fourth time that frozen precipitation has fallen in the state this Winter season.

There is a possibility (20-40%) that snow and sleet showers will fall across the non peninsula north, north peninsula and north central peninsula regions of the state during the Thursday night Friday morning 02/15-16/2007 period.

There is also a possibility (10-30%) that snow and sleet showers will fall across the north central and central peninsula regions during the Saturday night Sunday morning 02/17-18/2007 period. This would similar to the snow showers that fell across the central peninsula during the Tuesday evening-Wednesday morning November 21-22, 2006 period.

A hard freeze will occur (13-18 deg.) across the panhandle north, non peninsula north and north peninsula regions early Saturday morning 02/17/2006. A hard freeze will occur (19-24 deg.) across the north central peninsula on Saturday morning. A significant freeze (25-30 deg.) is probable across the inland rural central and south central regions on Saturday morning. A near to light freeze is probable (31-35 deg.) in the inland rural south peninsula region on Saturday.

Minimum temperatures across the central and south peninsula regions could be a bit colder or warmer depending on the exact trajectory of the Arctic high pressure center and also the amount of subtropical jet stream cirrus clouds that stream overhead the peninsula ahead of the next cold front.
