Warmest Christmas 🎄 on record?! Watch as two smaller heat domes combine to form a Huge Christmas Heat Dome - the most intense on record in the Nation’s middle. Half of US States will set heat records. 100s will fall! The only escape will be the West Coast and Northeast. #weather #christmas #record

Christmas in #Florida. The struggle is real! Merry Christmas All! #christmas #weather

At the buzzer White Christmas! A light snowfall will blanket the Northeast Tuesday, coating the ground with 1-2”of Snow near/ north of NYC, with up to a few inches into New England. Yellow color is 50% of 1”. Orange 75%. Red 100%. A very Merry Christmas for the lucky ones ❄️

Saved by the bell! After a record slow start to snow season in the Sierra Nevada, they’re about to cash in big time! 2-4 feet of snow will fall, mainly between Dec 24-26th. Gonna be a Whiteout Christmas for Tahoe! Meanwhile lower elevations will see up to 15 inches of rain! #california #weather

Dreaming of a White Christmas is as close to a White Christmas most will get this year. You know it’s bad when #Florida has as much snow ❄️ on the ground as South Dakota. 😂 This Christmas it appears the US may have its lowest snow cover on record!

Sad Santa😢 You already know it’s gonna be a warm Christmas for many. So let’s put it into perspective. The “Heat Dome” is forecast to be record breaking across a big area (Magenta). 100s of records will fall Christmas Eve/Christmas Day with a widespread area 25-35° above normal!

It’s California’s turn to share in the wealth of rain. But it will be too much, too fast for some as the Atmospheric River takes aim on the state. Flood Watches up for North/Central CA. Over the next week up to 15” of rain will fall. 1/

Are you feeling the wind? 💨 Cold front today with gusty north winds, dropping feels like temps ~35 degrees across North & Central #Florida by morning. 70s and 80s Friday afternoon, with 30s and 40s by Saturday morning. It’s brief! Back to normal by Sunday afternoon.

Rare “Particularly Dangerous Situation” alert issued by NWS Boulder, CO for Friday in the Foothills for gusts up to 100 mph!! It’s due to a strong “downslope” wind. Air accelerates downhill and also drys out, making for damaging gusts and potentially rapid fire spread.

Did you know Sea Level used to be 400 Feet Lower and Florida was 2X bigger?! Here’s the science behind it. #climate #climatechange #florida #fyp #iceage

To give you an idea of why rivers are so swollen and flooding is historic, look no further than the high elevation rain/ snow. Up to 30” of precip has fallen in 2 weeks atop the mountains east of #Seattle Much more on the way over the next 2 weeks.

Epic snowfall in the Pacific NW!! ❄️ Over the next 10 days up to 10 feet will pile up on the higher terrain of British Columbia and Washington. Then another several feet in the 10-15 day period. And it doesn’t stop there. Oregon Montana Wyoming N Cali too! #Whistler #Blackcomb #snOMG

Finally had a moment the run the numbers on the chance of a White Christmas. And Florida - it’s worse than expected! I promise, I checked and rechecked. It’s correct. 😜 #florida #snow #Christmas

Santa is not happy with this Christmas forecast 😢 Huge heat dome with temperatures 30-40° above normal across much of the nation’s middle. The only places which may escape the heat are the edges… NW/NE and Great Lakes. We’re still 9 days out and some changes are still possible. Stay tuned!

Parade of Storms will soak the Pacific NW! Flood threat looms large for the next week. Meanwhile the mountains will pile up the snow starting in Whistler BC and Washington State, then eventually - and finally - the Sierra Nevada CA near Tahoe. It’s been pretty snow-less there so far.

A pocket of very warm air (relative to average) over the North Pole enabled highs to reach above freezing Sunday. Meanwhile temps in the Midwest struggled to get above zero. Upside down day.

Pineapple Express will deliver a barrage of tropical fire hoses directed at the US West Coast over the next two weeks. Pockets of 12-18” of rain and flash flooding. The first round hits the Seattle Area early this week, as rivers are already at historic levels. Be ready to take immediate action.

Mind numbing Arctic Outbreak this weekend across the Eastern US! Windchills down to -40°F!! After a warm weekend, even #Florida will get in on the Arctic action by Monday morning. #cold #winter #chicago

What’s going on in #California right now is fascinating and provides a quick/ easy meteorology lesson. For weeks we’ve had a warm-stagnant upper level high overhead. The result: Air doesn’t move and mix vertically… 1/

In an ironic twist - after tormenting much of the East with a super cold start to December - the Grinch pulls the rug out just before it could manifest into a White Christmas! 🎄 ❄️ Warm Christmas for many? Such a Grinch thing to do. Here’s hoping the forecast changes.

Watch This: Rare & Dramatic 50° feels like temperature change across #Florida Monday morning! This happens as the edge of the next Arctic blast “wedges” into the state. Gusty NE winds will drive readings deep into the 20s in places like Tallahassee and Gainesville… 1/

BRUTAL. This looks excruciating. #Midwest #cold #fyp #chicago #arctic

Snowbirds flocking to #Florida right now. This weekend will be brutally mild 🙂 down here… and brutally #cold in the Midwest. Seriously, the cold in Chicago, Minneapolis etc… will be dangerous, even for them. Morning wind chills as low as -40F and actual lows as low as -20F in the Upper Midwest.

You Blue Sky-ers are a very educated bunch so you may know this already. But it’s a super cool fact that still blows my mind. 25K years ago, during the height of the ice age, sea levels were 400+ feet lower. You had to travel 100 miles further to get to “Clearwater Beach” and #Florida was 2X bigger!

#Seattle area rivers are now nearing/ reaching historic levels, with over a foot of rain falling on higher elevations, cascading down the mountains and running off into rivers like #Snoqualmie which is forecast to crest Friday near a record high… 1/

This weekend brought heavy rain to “parts” of Florida, but not all. Below is a side by side comparison of the ground/ soil/ grass dryness before the rain and after the rain. You can see that the narrow band from Pinellas, to Pasco, to Hillsborough, to Polk obliterated its dryness!… 1/

As brutal Arctic Air builds in Canada, it will set up a huge temperature gradient across North America this weekend! These are feels like temperatures on Saturday. Glad to be on the south end of this!! #cold #winter #florida #weather

The magenta indicates where this 500mb Arctic block reaches record heights this weekend. Graphic via @burgwx.bsky.social

Arctic in Disarray!! An Extremely Extreme pattern builds this weekend. Surface Temps as much as 60°F below normal in Canada (lows -60°F) and 70°F above normal (Highs 40°F in Arctic Circle) in Russia… 1/

Florida, don’t let the coming chill break your stride! Chilly, not cold, starts to the days through the rest of the week. #cold #weather #florida

Unbelievable rain totals for dry season! Almost 3 Decembers worth of rain in 24 hours in spots. Normal Dec rain is 2.5”. Downtown Tampa had double that! Areas like Tarpon Springs, Palm Harbor, East Lake, Odessa, Trinity, Keystone, Lutz, Wesley Chapel etc.., had 5 to 7 inches.

European Summer in Winter? Not quite, but winter weather is not in sight over the next 2 weeks, as Europe blowtorches with temps surging to 10-15° C above normal. #Europe #weather #warm #winter #fyp

The Arctic flood gates are opening up, as a strong & warm (relatively) block grows over Greenland. That warmth will shove the frigid Polar Vortex south, with multiple cold plunges in the batters box for the next 10-15 days in the Midwest, Great Lakes, Northeast and Mid-Atlantic.

*New Update dropped today. Drought continues to grip much of the state. Severe drought is expanding in the Tampa Bay Area. Exceptional drought continues in North FL. Much needed rain incoming across the north! But not much relief for the southern half of the state for the next 2 weeks. #florida

Coldest air on Earth today is in the US with temps up to 40 degrees below normal in the Midwest/ Great Lakes. Actual lows are as low as -20F there. Cold US is due to widespread relative warmth in the Arctic, with record low Arctic Sea Ice extent. This “warmth” displaces the polar cold pool south.

All aboard the Polar Express!! The tropospheric polar vortex will deliver frigid blasts in the eastern/ northern US for the next ~2 weeks and several chances of #snow. #cold #winter #fyp #polarexpress #polarvortex

Welp. Feeling good about living in FL right about now! #cold #frozen #chicago #florida

Today is Always a relief for us Floridians! We and the nation got a much needed break this year. First season we’ve had no US landfalls in a decade.

On this LAST DAY OF HURRICANE SEASON, an interesting fact. Did you know no tropical cyclone has ever crossed the Equator!? That’s because it’s physically impossible. Storms need “spin” to develop and survive. But at the Equator there is zero spin… 1/

Travel Alert: Big time issues at Midwest airports this weekend. Up to 15” in spots. Patience - something I don’t have - will be in high demand as delays cascade from Chicago/ Minneapolis outward from there. Safe travels everyone! #snOMG #snowfall #blizzard

Florida Roller Coaster Ride starts today! Heat Index mid 80s today, but wind chill in the 30s around I-4 northward on Friday morning. 45 degree swing in feels like temp! (It does NOT affect the fruit)

Florida Cold Snap, Major Midwest Snow Storm? Travel headaches. Let’s dig in… #snowfall #coldweather #florida #midwest #chicago

Fall will be “falling” this week with Wild weather swings across the East. Makes holiday packing a pain with a 40-50° temperature swing from Mid to late week.

Whew, that was close! But it looks like Iguana’s will be Marked Safe, barely, on Friday, as temps fall just shy of critical levels. But, if you ask me, this guy is a little too overconfident. Iguana’s live mostly South of the Sunshine Skyway...1/

Two miles of ice core on the shelf at our national ice core facility in Lakewood, Colorado. The WAIS Divide core from West Antarctica is a 3400m long (deepest US core, 2nd deepest ice core ever) 68,000 year old record of high resolution climate.

Weather Whiplash! Feeling like 80s Midweek -then- 30s by Friday morning in parts of #Florida A 40-50° feels like swing! #weather #cold #winter #whiplash

Going Cold Turkey by Week’s End across the Eastern US! Until then the warmth will persist here in Florida and the Southeast.

Fly-by Cold! After a long stretch of very warm weather, a chilly blast arrives Friday! AM Wind chills in the 30s and 40s for Central and North Florida. Highs on Black Friday will struggle to get out of the 60s. In true FL style, the chill will last 24 hours. Don’t blink!

Baked Atlanta! The SE and parts of #Florida baking today. Atlanta was 82, latest 82 on record. Heat persists through midweek.

Sorry Florida… No Rain Fo You! (Well, techincally there will be a few drops over the next 2 weeks.) And that’s too bad because we could really use a lot! Getting deeper into drought as the dry La Niña winter takes hold.
