Who’s ready for this?? I know I am. Coming to a #Florida community near you next week! #warm #weather

🥶 After this past weekend… We got this! 🥶 Cold low temps and wind chills tomorrow morning. But #Florida returns next week!!

Upside down weather! Parts of Montana will hit 70° for a high Thursday. Meanwhile Florida will be stuck in the 50s.

Record Highs VS Record Lows since 2020 in Florida. No contest.

This looks Brutal!

Enjoy this one day break. Old man winter roars back in Thursday! Wind chills (and low temps) in the 20s and 30s in #Florida Friday morning! The good news: it doesn’t last long, and a lasting warm up arrives next week. #cold #freeze

This week’s cold blast was a total freak-show. Dozens of record lows were broken. That just doesn’t happen in #Florida anymore - until now. See Map… 1/

This may be hard to believe given how cold it’s been, but the coldest air of the season is still to come in the Northeast this weekend. Wind chills to -30°F or lower Sunday morning. -22 in NYC!! Holy moly. #cold #winter #ArcticBlast #snow

#Europe bombarded by storms the next two weeks. Great news for the #olympics in the #alps as big time #snow will fall. 1-2 Meters in the next 15 days! But flooding will be a concern many other areas. #weather #milan #cortina

Raise your🖐️ if you’re ready for a taste of Spring Wednesday! 🖐️ 🖐️ 🖐️ 🖐️ 🖐️ 🖐️ 🖐️ 🖐️ 🖐️ 🖐️ 🖐️ 🖐️ It will be short, but I’ll take the thaw.

100s of Manatees putting on a show this morning!! The air was 20°, but the water was still a spring-like 72° (as it always is) in Three Sisters Springs in Crystal River. #manatees #florida

It’s cold 🥶 where I live. Global Warming cancel!?? Nope! Much more of the 🌎 right now is warmer than average, than colder. Red=Above Avg. Blue=Below Avg. Map credit: Karsten Haustein

Yup. That’s how I felt this morning. 🥶 These are the lowest temps by county. #florida #freeze

Dozens of records again this morning. To give you an idea of how impressive this cold air outbreak is in our warmed climate, Miami has once again set a record low - 2 days in a row. But until yesterday Miami had not seen a record low in atleast 6 years. (Maybe longer, I didn’t check). 1/

Arctic in Disarry!! It’s been the story of the winter so far. Warm-Blocky Arctic displacing cold airmasses southward. It’s how a rapidly warming Arctic - at a rate 4X the global average - and record low Arctic sea ice - helps enhance the patterns that lead to mid-latitude cold air outbreaks… 1/

Another long duration #freeze for our farmers tonight. 8-12 hours of sub freezing conditions for most, near or north of Lake O. #florida #cold

Colder in #Orlando this morning than… checks notes… #Greenland !! At least parts of it. #florida #freeze

Approx 100 record lows tied or broken this morning. ~11 monthly records broken. And it seems 1 all-time low in Bartow, FL.

For #Florida it just doesn’t get any colder than this! Peak wind 💨 chills headed for the single digits and teens for much of the state. Long duration #freeze. We’re not used to this. Stay safe ya’ll! #cold #snow

New: Our in-house Hi-Res model continues to say YES to #snow flurries Overnight into Sunday morning in the #Tampa Bay Area. Plus a long duration #florida #freeze (12 hrs) - A very challenging night for farmers. Here’s the latest!

Why do #cold in #florida?? We can trace the origin of the airmass directly north to the North Pole! No kidding. And prior to that Siberia. The coldest places on Earth sending cold from the #frozen #Tundra #freeze

Flurry Frenzy 2026 😂 Pigs are still flying in our latest Hi-Res GRAF model. Watch as the “Gulf Effect Bands” develop in the middle of the night, and squeeze out a few #snow flurries near the beaches/ Tampa Bay, from New Port Richey to Clearwater to St Pete to Venice. Gonna be a long night 🙂

Staggering duration of tonight’s Hard #Freeze - Much of Florida’s Farmers will see 6-12 hours of temperatures below 32°. It is going to be a very challenging, sleepless few nights ahead. Know that we are thinking of you! Anyone with gardens/ sensitive plants should take precautions! Pets inside.

Flurry Frenzy 2026 😂 Update: New Hi-Res HRRR with very aggressive Gulf Effect #Snow bands. Good sign for snow ❄️ lovers! Plenty of stuff inland too. BUT I caution you, the HRRR tends to overdue precip, and I think thats the case this time. #Tampa #florida

Needless to say there will be some huge waves tomorrow through Monday. These are maximum wave heights. No need to take any chances folks!! #bombcyclone #blizzard

Well, I guess that settles it! #snow #tampa #florida #cold

Arctic invasion, courtesy of Greenland! No, really! Let me explain. On Sunday AM much of #Florida will be colder than some towns in Greenland, specifically due to the “warm” Greenland Block”, a common feature of cold US winters, when relatively warm air in #Greenland & the Arctic force cold south.

What’s leading to the extreme cold and even snow flurries in Florida? Here’s a breakdown… www.wfla.com/news/generat...

The chance for Gulf Effect #Snow in the #Tampa Bay Area is increasing and a Generational #Cold Event for parts of #Florida with a hard #freeze expected. Very challenging for our farmers! Here’s the latest!

While #snow and #cold are getting all the headlines, very strong #wind #gusts will make for a very difficult Gasparilla. Winds will gust up to 50 mph near the coast, and 40 Inland, with wind chills falling in the 30s by sunset! #Tampa #florida

Flurry Frenzy 2026 😂 Update Things are escalating. Max Defender 8 team forecasts an 8 in 10 chance we see #snow flurries somewhere in the #tampabay area Saturday night into Sunday morning. Keep your eyes peeled and upload images/ videos to WFLA.com/ReportIt #tampa #florida

*First Ever* EXTREME COLD WATCH issued for Central Florida and the Tampa Bay Area, east of I-75. Wind chills as low as 8° & a Hard Freeze for lows as low as 20° Sat Night/ Sun AM.

Flurry Frenzy 2026. Yes, SNOW❄️ !! Our in-house 12z Hi Res GRAF model has snow bands blowing in on Saturday night and early Sunday morning. Flurries and snow showers, in #Tampa Bay. Wasn’t sure if ever witness it.. It’s on like Donkey Kong! 😂

The coldest air in 16 years arrives in #Florida Sunday morning. Here’s a look at lows and wind chills. A wind chill of 6° in Gainesville, 11 in Crystal River, 16 in Port St Lucie! Holy cow! 🥶 #cold Notice the immediate West Coast is spared a #freeze due to NW wind off the Gulf keeping it milder.

Flurry Frenzy 2026 update! Good sign if you are rooting for #snow flurries near #Tampa Bay. The Hi-Res GRAF model (almost in range) clearly showing Gulf Effect Bands setting up already at 7pm Sat when the model ends. Upper level temps are already plenty cold for #snow… 1/

❄️ FLURRY FRENZY 2026 ❄️ 50%… Here’s a first call from our WFLA Weather Team on the chances that #snow flakes will fly in the #Tampa Bay Area Saturday night. Best setup I’ve seen in my 30 year #Florida career. Tomorrow Hi-Res models will become available giving us a MUCH better idea.

Holy cow 🐄 This has to be a first!! I was checking on the impacts of the SE Coast Blizzard, and noticed that #Tampa Bay has been highlighted in NOAA’s Winter Storm Severity Index for a “small” chance of #snow impacts. So, yes, I’m saying there’s a chance 😂

Florida Flurry Frenzy in full effect 😂 Update: latest NOAA National Blend of Models shows a respectable chance of Gulf Effect #Snow Flurries as a plume of low level moisture streams in. Best chance is along the coast early Sunday morning before daybreak. Stay tuned! #Tampa #Florida

Illustration of how persistent and near record warmth (relative) in the Arctic - and the Greenland-Canadian Tundra block - is suppressing the Polar Vortex South, and is responsible for the generational #cold event in #Florida and expected SE Coast #blizzard 1/

Alert: *Generational Cold Event* The coldest air since 2010 arrives Sunday morning. I can’t remember the last time #Florida had single digits for wind chills. Prepare a #freeze all the way into the Everglades. For Floridians, #cold this extreme can be dangerous, but we have days to prepare.

Freeze warnings most of Central and North Florida tonight, except for coastal/ Bay locations. Lows 24-32 for as much as a few hours towards daybreak Wed AM. Cover plants. Bring pets and husbands inside!

Polar Vortex Visit! Watch as a piece of the Polar Vortex breaks off and ignites a bomb cyclone along the East Coast. Heavy #snow / #Blizzard conditions for the SE Coast and one of the coldest patterns I can remember for the Deep South and #Florida #cold #freeze

Heads up! Legit chance for Gulf Effect Flurries near the Tampa Bay Area Saturday night. I’ll be honest, model support is modest at best, but the meteorology says it’s possible. Let’s science this up… 1/

This weekend looks as brutal across #Florida as I can remember! A bomb cyclone, w/the “potential” for heavy Southeast Coast #snow, will propel bitterly cold air south into the state. The real possibility exists for wind chills ranging from the single digits north to 20s as far south as Miami Sunday.

A “3 Dog Night” is ahead!! #Freeze warnings north of Tampa Bay to N #florida and Cold Weather Advisories from Tampa to Ft Myers. Wind chills from 15° North FL to 30° near Lake O and SW FL. This is the start of 10-day stretch of very #cold 🥶 air! #ice

The cold has been extreme, but the Sunday PM Euro says “you ain’t seen nothing yet”! All models show very cold air infiltrating deep into the south this upcoming weekend, but the latest Euro is next level by seemingly moving the Arctic Tundra to the Southern US… 1/

Get ready for a wild Roller Coaster ride! Up to a 60° feels like temperature free fall from Sunday through Tuesday across much of #Florida! Biggest shift will be Central FL. Only problem, once we bottom out, we don’t come back up for a week or more. Layer up!! #cold

After record heat Sunday, get ready for a longggg cold snap. Honestly folks one of the longest #cold stretches I can remember starting Monday and lasting at least a full week! A reinforcing cold shot every few days. Lows dropping into the 20s, 30s and 40s from north to south #florida… 1/

“IT’S COLD, WHATEVER HAPPENED TO GLOBAL WARMING?” is a common response to winter weather. But in certain patterns, climate change enhances the presence of cold in the US. This is one of those times. Here’s how… 1/
