ORLANDO, Fla. \u2013 February came in just about frozen over<\/a>, and a lot of us experienced temperatures unlike what we\u2019re used to in the Sunshine State. <\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not a fan of the cold, I\u2019d imagine by now with such spectacular weather in play across town you may be wondering if another big freeze is going to happen again. <\/p>\n

Let\u2019s unpack that a bit. <\/p>\n

With the subtropical ridge setting up shop over the southeast, warmer than average temperatures should stick around (Copyright 2026 by WKMG ClickOrlando – All rights reserved.)<\/p>\n

For just about everyone across the United States, we\u2019ve kind of turned winter off temporarily. That\u2019s because our large-scale pattern is still adjusting and acclimating to the big swap we just went through. <\/p>\n

We once had a massive Arctic trough reaching down out of Canada southward over the eastern half of the nation down to our neck of the woods in the Orlando area. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s been vacated and pushed eastward. Ridging has taken its place, which is responsible for the clearer and warmer conditions we\u2019ve observed the last few days. <\/p>\n

There will be some snow across parts of the upper U.S., and especially the higher terrain of the Rocky Mountains. <\/p>\n

But I think we\u2019ve started to really pivot away from tracking Arctic blasts to monitoring for future severe weather setups. <\/p>\n

Looking down the pike the next two weeks, none of our computer models point toward any excessive cooldowns coming our way. This would suggest this subtropical high pressure will be lingering and holding steady for a good chunk of February. <\/p>\n

As we warm up, some fragments of wintry weather will try to dip south out of Canada and the northern United States. <\/p>\n

La Nina tends to help keep cold air trapped up north, with less of a chance of polar vortex breakdowns or disruptions. For the next couple of weeks, this looks to hold true for the most part (Copyright 2026 by WKMG ClickOrlando – All rights reserved.)<\/p>\n

Cold and warm in the weather realm are like oil and water. They don\u2019t mix well. <\/p>\n

The same Valentine\u2019s Day storm system we\u2019ve been discussing here and there is likely our first real chance at seeing some severe weather action across the Deep South, Dixie Alley and the Gulf Coast states. <\/p>\n

Depending on the intensity of the low pressure, and how much warm, moist air we can pull in over our state will determine if thunderstorms find their way here. <\/p>\n

Each of the different oscillations that meteorologists look to when trying to determine how cold and wintry parts of the country will get are depicting us settling into a La Nina pattern for the next few weeks. <\/p>\n

The cold will remain trapped up north and down south we\u2019ll remain on the more mild side. <\/p>\n

This is the layout of our atmosphere over the next ten days. A ridge out east driving up warmth, and a trough trying to reach down over the Rockies bringing down cooler weather (Copyright 2026 by WKMG ClickOrlando – All rights reserved.)<\/p>\n

From today through to the tail end of the month, Central Florida will try to stay in the upper 70s and low 80s. I don\u2019t see any significant fronts coming up. <\/p>\n

Granted, computer models can change, as we\u2019re very familiar with. As trends shift or hold steady, I will be the first to let you know. But right now, it appears we might be in store for an early arrival of spring despite what Phil the Groundhog advertised earlier this month. <\/p>\n
