Another Big Freeze On The Way?!

[Thomas F. Giella KN4LF]

Guys & Gals,

It looks like we are still on track for some strong storms during the 
Monday-Tuesday 02/02-03/2009 period. It appears that the surface 
extratropical (cold) low will cross the peninsula and given that and other 
strong atmospheric dynamics some isolated severe weather is possible.

During the Wednesday-Friday 02/04-06/2009 period another significant freeze 
event is probable with the coldest day being the 5th.. Minimum temperatures 
could drop as low if not lower than the last freeze that occurred between 
01/20-24/2009. In inland rural areas the subfreezing line will extend as far 
south as Immokalee in the Everglades.

As before there is also a slim chance for ocean effect snow showers along 
the west coast of the central peninsula, with better chances over NE Florida 
on early Wednesday morning the 18th.

We should then see a mild to warm period between approximately 02/07-14/2009 
followed more cold weather.

Take Care,
