Jax AFD bumped up POPS to 60% for Sunday. Hope this pans out. Really need a good soaking. Since the end of September have only received 1.58.

Yea.. the Pops have been bumped up for the Tampa area as well. It will be interesting to see if some part of Northern Florida reports some snow/frozen precip overnight Sunday into Monday Morning.

Here's what Jax had to say about that.

THERE WILL BE VERY COLD AIR COINCIDING WITH WRAP-AROUND CLOUDINESS

SUN NIGHT OVER AT LEAST OUR SE GA ZONES. AFTER LOOKING AT MODEL

SOUNDINGS...IT APPEARS THE DEPTH OF THE MOISTURE WILL BE VERY

SHALLOW WITH BONE DRY AIR ABOVE AND FAIRLY DRY AIR BELOW THE MOIST

LAYER. IN ADDITION...LIFT SHOULD BE VERY MINIMAL. SO...AT THIS

POINT NOT EXPECTING ANY FROZEN PRECIP. HOWEVER...HAVE INCLUDED

SOME MIXED PRECIP OVER THE COASTAL WATERS SUN NIGHT AND EARLY MON

WHERE MOISTURE WILL BE DEEPER AND LOWER ATMOSPHERE WILL BE A BIT

MORE UNSTABLE.

Umm.. yes.. you see that's why I moved to Florida, for warmth not cold .:rolleyes:

Oh believe me I get the whole moving down to Florida thing. I moved here from NJ 2 years ago. But after dealing w/ 90 degree weather from March to November, I welcome the cool spells. They never last more than a few days and you can still do outdoor activities.

Tonight will be an interesting freeze event to unfold, but watch out for tomorrow night. IMHO Tuesday could be the more damaging of the two nights.

No doubt outlying areas are going under the freezing mark tonight but these advective type freezes most times have a hard time dropping MCO to under 32. I don't believe we set a record tonight in Orlando. Record is 28. Tuesday night however should be a different story. Record is 33 and as it looks now I believe MCO will get to at least 30.

I know what you mean and I used to feel the same way but as the years have gone by I can't handle the cold at all.. In short I have become a cold weather wimp.:snowman:

I think your right Tuesday night looks like a Radiational Cooling event and indeed the forecast low for Tuesday night in Lakeland is the Lower 20's compared to the mid 20's tonight.

You are dealing with much colder wx than SF. Most of us get that :thumbsup: Anyway, this is my second fall / winter here and I am already getting thinner blood. I like cool shots as well, but not ones that deep six my Christmas Palms. :thumbsdown: The upper / mid 20's below for me suck. Give me the mid to upper 40's for lows and upper 60's for highs and that is the perfect cool shot.

Really won't know how bad this is until its over :)

Find this interesting:

Event date: Freeze of February 2-9, 1835

Summary of event: According to Warren Johnson, Meteorologist In Charge in 1958, the freeze of

1835 was the most severe of all historically significant freezes in the state of Florida. During this

freeze, the St. Johns River was frozen, “several rods from the shore,” and people were able to walk a

distance from the shore. Many citrus and other fruit trees were killed to the ground, never to grow

again, when temperatures reached as low as 1ºF in Charleston and 8ºF in Jacksonville. A Florida

gentleman told a newspaper that the state, “appeared as desolate as if a fire had swept over it,” after

the severe freeze of that winter season. According to Florida Citrus Mutual, this freeze was so

severe that it is considered an impact freeze. This indicates that the freeze, “annihilate[d] entire

groves across the state, killing both mature and young citrus trees, while causing a profound

economic impact on the citrus industry and… prompting growers to replant farther south.” This

freeze ended attempts to grow citrus in southern Georgia, southeast South Carolina, and northern

Florida.

You are dealing with much colder wx than SF. Most of us get that :thumbsup: Anyway, this is my second fall / winter here and I am already getting thinner blood. I like cool shots as well, but not ones that deep six my Christmas Palms. :thumbsdown: The upper / mid 20's below for me suck. Give me the mid to upper 40's for lows and upper 60's for highs and that is the perfect cool shot.

Yes, that's about the range of cool shots I can handle upper 40's for lows and the 60's for highs anything lower and I start bitching.:scooter:
