Snow Still Possible On Saturday January 9th

[Thomas F. Giella NZ4O]

Jesse Ferrell of AccuWeather made mention in his weather blog of a possible Florida snow event for Saturday 
night at: http://vortex.accuweather.com/adc2004/pub/includes/columns/community/2010/snow107as.jpg and
http://www.accuweather.com/mt-news-blogs.asp?partner=accuweather&blog=weathermatrix .

If you check out the latest GFS model meteograms for Tampa http://wxmaps.org/pix/tpagfs.png and Orlando http://wxmaps.org/pix/mcogfs.png some frozen precipitation is still being forecasted on Saturday. NWS Tampa Bay, Melbourne and Miami are also still mentioning the small possibility of some frozen precipitation. 

Also we face another significant freeze threat between Sunday the 10th and Tuesday the 12th.  

I'm going to be pretty busy with other non weather stuff between Friday the 8th and next Monday the 11th and may not have time to comment on any weather goings on. If anyone does observe snow flakes, sleet/ice pellet, etc. over the weekend please feel free to send me an email at nz4o at tampabay.rr.com .
