Hey everybody... The high in fort Myers today was only 59 degrees today... Opposed to an average of around 75 degrees... I know what those of you who live in the northeast and mid-Atlantic states are thinking... I should be very happy because some of you may barely reach freezing today... For the most part I'm happy, but the wind makes it feel closer to around 49 for a high today, even though those of you in the northeast and mid- Atlantic would even take 49 for a high but I can say with confidence that 49 degrees won't happen for a very long time... In fact it will probably only get colder for you. As for you in Florida we should have a slow warm up where temperatures may get close to 70 degrees until about Tuesday where a weak cold front will come through and move temperatures back into the lower 60s and unfortunately some of you may get back into the upper 50s... The good news is the sun will be out for at least the next week with maybe some rain on Tuesday as the front comes through, and the wind will really calm down so at dome points it may feel 5 or 10 degrees warmer then the actual temperature...after the cold front on Tuesday it looks like another cold front will take place late Saturday and into Sunday but before that some of you may hit 80 in southern Florida ahead of the cool front... Everyday this week until Saturday I will have this kind of intro with the weather in Florida!!!! Now to the snowy news...
A clipper system will drop through the Midwest giving most people 1-3 inches with locally 4 or 5 inches and then as you make your way toward Ohio and into west Virginia you will see somewhere around 3-6 inches with locally 8 or 9 inches... Now once you get into southeastern PA and into DC, Baltimore and up toward NYC and Boston you will see anywhere from 6-9 with locally a foot as this storm looks to strengthen once reaching the Atlantic ocean... Remember SE PA includes Philly... So it seems the I-95 corridor will once again get hit by a snowstorm... Keep in mind that this is not a blizzard with 1-2 locally 3 feet... We will see though some heavy snow with a little wind, especially as the storm begins to strengthen over sea...
Now this clipper is the 6th major snowstorm to hit the eastern 3rd of the country.. And it seems we have spotted a 7th and believe it or not this may be the most powerful of all the storms which is absolutely insane considering the last 2 storms have dropped anywhere from 2-3 1/2 feet of snow with winds close to hurricane force... So u can only imagine what this storm may hold ... Thats it for now... I'll update around 10 tonight!
