Strong cold front approaching Florida on Thanksgiving: Possible wind chills in the 40s
Possible windchills in the 40s
QUICKLY. I WAS LOOKING AT THAT STORY, AND I. IT’S SO MUCH INFORMATION ALL AT ONCE THAT I WANTED TO TRY TO SEPARATE IT JUST A LITTLE BIT FOR OUR LOCAL TRAVELERS, IF THEY’RE TRAVELING TODAY OR TOMORROW. SO LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT THE GRAPHICS HERE. AND JUST TO SHOW YOU WHERE THE TROUBLE SPOTS ARE FOR TODAY. SO WE HAVE THIS BIG SYSTEM THAT’S MOVING ACROSS THE COUNTRY HERE. AND THE CENTER OF THE SYSTEM IS REALLY OVER THE GREAT LAKES. SO THAT IS CREATING THOSE BLIZZARD CONDITIONS THAT YOU SAW IN THAT STORY. WE JUST RAN. AND THEN ALL OF THAT KIND OF SPREADS OVER TO THE NORTHEASTERN US. SO WHEN YOU’RE LOOKING AT THIS, IF YOU’RE TRAVELING TODAY, THE TRAVEL TROUBLE SPOTS ARE RIGHT HERE ACROSS THE GREAT LAKES, THE MIDWEST, AND THEN OVER INTO THE NORTHEASTERN US. THAT’S WHERE WE’RE GOING TO SEE MODERATE IMPACTS FOR TRAVEL. WE’VE ALSO GOT A BIG STORM SYSTEM THAT’S MOVING INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST THAT WILL START TO ACCELERATE OVER THE WEEKEND DOWN THROUGH THE CENTRAL PART OF THE COUNTRY. SO WHEN YOU’RE COMING BACK FROM VACATION FROM THANKSGIVING, YOU MAY RUN INTO SOME TROUBLE BECAUSE OF THAT. IF YOU’RE TRAVELING TOMORROW ON THANKSGIVING, THIS IS ACTUALLY ONE OF THE BETTER TRAVEL DAYS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. WE’RE SEEING WEATHER THAT LOOKS A LITTLE MORE CONDUCIVE FOR EASIER TRAVEL. STILL A MESS OVER PARTS OF THE GREAT LAKES AND THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. BUT MOST OF THE COUNTRY LOOKS PRETTY GOOD. OKAY, LET’S TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT’S GOING ON HERE AT HOME. AND WE’VE GOT A LOT OF THINGS HAPPENING OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. FIRST, WE’RE SEEING VERY WARM AND HUMID CONDITIONS TODAY. BUT THAT’S ALL ABOUT TO CHANGE WHEN A BIG, STRONG COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA TOMORROW. OUR TEMPERATURES RIGHT NOW RANGE FROM THE LOW 80S TO A LOT OF MID 80S POPPING UP HERE AND THERE, LIKE IN WEST PALM BEACH AND WELLINGTON AND ROYAL PALM WAY 8486 IN BOCA RIGHT NOW, 84 INDIANTOWN AND OKEECHOBEE. SO WE’VE GOT MUCH WARMER THAN AVERAGE TEMPERATURES AND WE’VE GOT SOME CLOUDS AROUND, SOME SHOWERS AROUND TOO. IN FACT, ON THE RADAR RIGHT NOW, WE’RE STARTING TO SEE RAINFALL MOVING UP FROM SOUTH TO NORTH. AND THAT’S BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE WINDS ARE BRINGING THE MOISTURE IN RIGHT NOW. AND WE COULD EVEN SEE A FEW THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS THE AREA AS MORE MOISTURE BEGINS TO BUILD IN. SO HERE YOU SEE THE RAINFALL MOVING UP RIGHT NOW FROM SOUTH TO NORTH, COMING UP OUT OF BROWARD COUNTY INTO WESTERN PARTS OF PALM BEACH COUNTY, IT SHOULD TAKE ON A LITTLE MORE OF A NORTHEASTERLY TRACK LATER TODAY. SO THAT WOULD BRING SOME OF THAT RAINFALL CLOSER TO THE COAST LATER THIS AFTERNOON. YOU CAN SEE AT SOME OF THE COMPUTER MODELS HERE, IT’S NOT A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF RAIN. IT’S ABOUT A 30 TO 40% CHANCE FOR RAIN, BUT IT COULD BE A FEW THUNDERSTORMS IN THE MIX LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING. AND THEN THERE’S A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN TRAVELING WITH THE COLD FRONT AS IT SWINGS THROUGH TOMORROW MORNING INTO THE EARLY AFTERNOON. SO WE WENT AHEAD WITH ABOUT A 20% CHANCE FOR RAIN FOR TOMORROW. SO WE’VE GOT MID 80S ALL THE WAY UP THE COAST THROUGH WEST PALM BEACH FROM BOCA, AND THEN WE’VE GOT A LOT OF LOW 80S AROUND. BUT AS SOON AS YOU HEAD FARTHER INLAND WE’RE TALKING ABOUT MID 80S AROUND THE LAKE. BUT WATCH THE TEMPERATURE DROP AS THE COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH TOMORROW MORNING, ESPECIALLY NORTH FLORIDA. WE’LL START TO SEE THAT COLDER AIR MOVING IN QUICKLY FOR US. THE FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH, BUT THE COLD FRONT IS LAGGING BEHIND. SO WE’RE STILL GOING TO SEE A WARM DAY FOR THANKSGIVING. IT WILL BE THANKSGIVING NIGHT THAT THIS COLDER AIR RUSHES IN AND TEMPERATURES DROP DOWN INTO THE 40S AND LOW 50S IN OUR AREA WITH A WIND CHILL. AND THEN FRIDAY WE’RE GOING TO STRUGGLE TO MAKE IT TO 70 DEGREES ON FRIDAY. I THINK A LOT OF OUR HIGH TEMPERATURES ON FRIDAY WILL BE IN THE 60S, AND IT’S GOING TO BE WINDY AND CHILLY THROUGHOUT THE DAY, SO BE READY FOR THAT. WE WENT AHEAD WITH IMPACT WEATHER BECAUSE OF THOSE COLD MORNING TEMPERATURES AND A CHILLY DAY ON FRIDAY, BUT FOR TODAY, LOW TO MID 80S, 40% CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS FOR THANKSGIVING. COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH. STILL WARM, BUT A CHANCE FOR RAIN WITH THE FRONT AND THEN A MUCH CHILLIER DAY. COLD MORNING, CHILLY DAY FRIDAY. AND THEN WE DO WARM UP A LITTLE BIT. SATURDAY, A LITTLE MORE SUNDAY AND LOOKS LIKE A N
