The National Weather Service has issued extreme cold warnings, cold weather advisories and freeze warnings for Florida.
It's officially snowed in north Florida on Tuesday afternoon and into Wednesday, the National Weather Service in Tallahassee confirmed. Videos and photos show the fluffy white stuff accumulating on the ground in Florida's Panhandle.
Florida is seeing "significant" snowfall due to a rare winter storm. For native Floridians or transplants who escaped the cold, see when it warms up.
“North winds 25 to 30 knots with gusts up to 45 knots. Seas 7 to 10 feet, occasionally to 13 feet,” the NWS marine forecast from Fernandina Beach south to St. Augustine said. “Intracoastal waters very rough. Showers. Freezing rain after midnight.”
Parts of the Florida Panhandle were coated in a blanket of snow with temperatures at 25 degrees on Tuesday while Miami had temperatures in the 80s, seemingly two different worlds. From Pensacola down to Miami, there was a difference of 55 degrees, according to the National Weather Service Miami .
With the chances of a historic Florida snow or ice storm inching upward, forecasters may issue a rare winter storm watch for a region more accustomed to squall lines and tropical threats.
“I’m so glad I’m so much farther south. I moved to Florida to get away from the snow!” commented Jennifer Saxon Halam on his post. According to her Facebook, she lives in Englewood on Florida’s west coast about 88 miles south of Tampa. But just wait: Weather Underground forecasts a low of 38 there next Saturday morning.
There is a 30 percent chance of showers in Miami on Thursday, which will occur mainly between 7 a.m. and 1 p.m. Eastern time. It will be mostly cloudy at night. Temperatures will range from about 71 to 51 degrees Fahrenheit.
The National Weather Service and European global models show increasing chances of snow in Florida on Monday and Tuesday night.
