Models are trending much warmer for the coming weeks. One of the main reasons for that is they are predicting the NAO to become neutral if not positive. Looks like the worst of winter should be felt this week across the country before warming up next week. Models, as you know, can change dramatically run to run, but warm is the trend.

Here is the forecast for NAO and as above poster said,neutral to slightly positive at least for the next couple of weeks.

Not to pick on the models but aren't these the same models who said that
we were suppose to have a really mild Winter in south this season?

December 2010 set a record 4 number of snow being reported in Florida. One says that LIGHT SNOW and FREEZING FOG were reported in TAMPA.

This was the only site talking about cold next week too. Yesterday someone stated that the weather was showing a warming trend but now the local weatherheads are saying next week will be colder along the coast than this week was. Am I missing something or can someone explain? THANKS!

I always thought of Tennessee as being way up north, coming from south Louisiana. We are hopefully witnessing the last gasp of winter down south. Hopefully... I'm ready for 70s and 80s again.

Just had a flizzard here.

Hello everyone. I hope everyone who were heavily impacted by the paralyzing winter storm across the Deep South are OK and staying warm and safe.

Yeah, it really has created so many problems across the region. Also, the snow and ice pack in the wake of the storm across the Deep South has really impacted conditions throughout the region. Cold low level cloudiness persists all across the SE US as a strong inversion and weak isentropic downgliding will keep these clouds from breaking up for most of today.

The snow and ice pack is a key reason of course, and because of this, temperatures are going nowhere. Here in north Jax, the temperature has been holding steady at 40 degrees for the past three hours and I don't expect them to warm much more than a couple of more degrees the rest of today. Reached a morning low of 37.6 degrees.

Well, it appears likely that several mornings of freezes are in store for Jax all the way up into Saturday morning, with hard freezes (mid 20s) possible in colder interior NE FL areas Thursday and Friday morning.

Also, it looks like a moderating trend in temps will come by Sunday hopefully as heights rise and we get back to seeing temps back to near seasonable norms by early next week.
