📡🥶 Unusually cold air for November is on the way for much of Florida tonight into Tuesday morning.
It is always fascinating to see strong cold fronts push over the Gulf with stable, cold air overspreading the warmer, unstable air above the water.

One year ago today on October 9, 2024, Hurricane Milton impacted Florida with storm surge, tornadoes, intense wind, inland flooding and widespread damage. These impacts came a couple of weeks after the extreme impacts from Hurricane Helene.

A rainy day across Florida, as pulses of energy pass over the state within a deep, moist southwest flow across the Gulf and into the western Atlantic. This flow is feeding into the massive circulation of #HurricaneErin, as seen in satellite 🛰️ water vapor imagery and radar data from NWS Tampa. 📡⛈️
