The cold snap coming is expected to last thru the weekend, with frost and freezes expected, though not record cold. It appears that all forecasts are targeting inland, rural areas as calm, cold conditions exist - but I am seeing another cold shot next week. Anyone see longer range? My data only goes out 7 days. It appears like Thurs and Sat mornings will feature freezes for inland Tampa Bay/Orlando with watches up for inland South Florida. Then, next week more cold? Watcha thinking?

California winter is here 1 2 3

Look at this... a little too early for this to be happening. Once we get into an el nino pattern and storms come from the Pacific, it should be more mild. We won't have any freezing temps from this, but it will be chilly! brrr. Hopefully this pattern will change soon!

It is still too early to discern all the damage from the recent freeze but here is what is apparent thus far. Lows were 28,22,28 with a 24 hour freeze duration at my place in far S.E. Houston. Much of Houston had 18-20. I have not been around town yet to survey the damage, just around my house and neighborhood.

I created my own climate classification map, since I find the majority of the other ones flawed. With the creation of this map, I considered both temperature and flora of a region. Please feel free to add your own 2¢. Cool Temperate Deciduous/Mixed Forest: Cold winter and mild summer climate. Occupies the Northern tier of the country from New England to California. Eastern Section is predominantly mixed while the Western section is more coniferous. Warm Temperate Deciduous/Mix Forest: Cold winter and a hot summer climate. Located south of the cool temperates. More Deciduous than the cool temperates except in Southern NJ, Long Island and in the piedm…

Potentially cold week for Florida next week 1 2 3

The European forecast model had been showing temperatures as low as 15F in Atlanta next Wednesday morning. It doesn't sound like a big deal but that type of cold that far south is pretty rare. The GFS model was showing less cold but it has started to agree with the European model. I'm not crying wolf here but keep an eye on the weather Floridians. Either way, at least part of next week will be well below normal.

I can imagine the Texas folks on the forum are starting preparations for the storm. The intensity isn't really dialed in yet, but you sure look to get a lot of rain...measured in feet! Stay safe!

Much of south Texas had its first freeze this morning. Deep south Texas remained above freezing and maybe about 20 mile from the coast on up to Houston. Houston stayed above freezing while the western and northern suburbs were near freezing. I had 36 in SE Houston this morning with frost on the roof. Also there seems to have been a a cold spot in deep south central Louisiana around Morgan city with the lows in the upper 20s. Ed in Houston

Technically its our second cold front of this season. The last one was very mild that never impacted South Florida. This one will have high 40's F in Southern Miami Dade County. Still mild but we are overdue for another cold winter. Lets keep our fingers crossed.

Southern Autumn 2015 1 2 3
by tropicbreeze- 99 replies

Thought I'd better start this before everyone decides to hibernate and falls asleep. Not that autumn is particularly significant here, it's still our wet season, even if not much of a wet season this year. There's chatterings around the place that March will be a very high rainfall month. I haven't seen anything official on that. The month started off pretty good, but then suddenly died in the proverbial. At this point I'm average rainfall for March, on a daily basis. But with the nose dive the past few days I've had to turn the auto irrigation back on. The road out the front of my place is getting dusty again. My dam is only just trickling over whereas normally it shou…

This is one for the aussies. With all the cold weather threads flying around I thought it would be nice to discuss Oz weather somewhere. Of course others from other areas are welcome to join in. We've had some crazy weather this year so far, so let us know how you're going? Over here in the wild west it's been amazingly humid from about mid January. It's rare to see a day even in the high twenties. This morning I woke to a 23C min with a 22.2C dewpoint or 94% relative humidity. The sun is up and there's a humid haze everywhere. It's going to be an incredibly sticky 38C today. Best regards Tyrone

Summer Down Under 1 2 3 4

Perth's coldest summer morning on record As the sun rose over Western Australia on the first day of summer, it was feeling more like winter in Perth. The temperature at 5:25am local time was only 6.6ºC, making this the city's coldest morning of summer in 124 years of records. The previous coldest morning of the season was 7.9ºC in December 2007, while Perth's long-term average minimum temperature at this time of year is about 16ºC. In fact, this morning's temperature would even be below-average for the middle of winter in Perth. The unusually cold start to summer was caused by a high pressure ridge that moved over southwestern Austral…

Dropped to 31F here at Leu Gardens and is back to 34 now at 7:15. The cable connecting our weather station to my computer failed yesterday so I can't tell how long it was at 31F until I hook the new one up. Tender foliage on the drive in looked mostly alright, a few bananas burnt but not all the way wilted. The bananas and heliconias in my yard weren't black and wilted and the coconut still looked green.

It is an honour to start this thread and I would like to say it's so beautiful outside that is health threatening to be at work today. Low 80s today and tomorrow with a twist: Sat and Sun highs in the 60s and lows in the 40s, bottoming out possibly at 43ºF. Not too bad enough to start a "Florida Scare #4" but I have to hold on to my rendas one more week.
