When: This Weekend (13th–15th) A developing low pressure system may bring showers and thunderstorms from the Southern Plains into the Southeast and Gulf States this weekend. Forecast data and several models are starting to show better agreement on this setup. Some storms could become strong to severe, with the potential for damaging wind gusts, heavy rainfall, and a few tornadoes possible from Texas eastward toward Florida. Confidence and details will improve as we get closer and model data updates. The National Weather Service may begin highlighting this system soon, especially heading into Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Stay weather aware and be prepared for possible severe weather updates. #spc #uswx

As we know, we have had a potentially active start to winter 2026. The atmospheric pattern has aligned with how things used to be years ago. That said, I believe this hurricane season will be one to watch closely, as it could be detrimental—not only for the coastal U.S. but also for the Caribbean. Last year, many cold fronts saved us from potential impacts, except in Jamaica and Cuba, which were hit. I suspect that protection may not happen this year. Yes, we are months out, and I will keep you updated. #uswx #spc #HurricaneSeason

The Northeast will remain under colder Arctic air more than much of the rest of the country over the next several days. This overall pattern stays in place until the ridge in the western U.S. begins to weaken. Once that happens, the door opens for additional storm systems to move in, bringing a higher potential for both active weather and snow across parts of the country. #weatherwise #uswx #spc

By the end of the weekend, super-cooled Arctic air will be advecting southward into the Southeast, even driving Florida’s temperatures toward record territory. #spc #uswx

Feel's Like Temps: Signals are strong for a deep trough developing over the eastern U.S., with strong high pressure building in behind it. This setup will drive the coldest air of the season south into Florida. Gusty northerly winds will add significant Wind Chill, making it feel colder than the actual temperatures. Freezing conditions are possible by the end of the weekend for all of Florida, except for southern keys, so preparations should be noted as we get closer. When it comes to Snow only one model is showing slight dusting but if we can get a lingering precipitation oh man this would be it. #flwx #florida #spc #uswx

Afternoon Temps will be warmer in front of that Cold front and behind it starts to cool down. There will be some gusty winds as it moves through the peninsula. 2nd photo Rain accumulation as the front moves through not much expected. 3rd photo Feels Like Temps for Tuesday Morning. #spc #flwx #florida #uswx

Mid to late week, a Pacific low pressure system may tap into a plume of moisture and aim it at Washington, Oregon, and Northern California. Current guidance shows solid model support for this pattern, though details will likely evolve with time. Washington could take the brunt of the rainfall, where flooding may become a concern. Higher elevations will be cold enough for accumulating snow. A strong 300mb jet will provide ample upper-level lift, while deep moisture and persistent onshore flow support prolonged heavy rain. Gusty winds will also be possible, especially along the coast and higher terrain. #spc #wawx #orwx #cawx #uswx

Strong to severe storms are possible as a line of showers and thunderstorms moves through Alabama, the Florida Panhandle, and Georgia. There’s decent dynamic support across the region for strong wind gusts, moderate to heavy downpours, and even a risk of tornadoes, with higher chances closer to the Gulf. While the setup isn’t perfect, 1–2 tornadoes can’t be ruled out. Low-level shear and some instability are present, though limited. A narrow corridor could see quick spin-ups this afternoon, with QLCS embedded tornadoes or an isolated one ahead of the main line. Stay weather aware. ##spc #alwx #gawx #flwx #uswx

Freezing rain and ice (pink) may dominate through the night, while in the next few hours (blue) we could see snowfall rates and accumulation increase. Pinpointing the exact boundary between freezing rain and snow is tricky, as fluctuating temperatures can cause precipitation types to change quickly. At this point, confidence is growing in the forecast: a wave of snow followed by a wave of freezing rain. Conditions in Arkansas could be more challenging due to temperature profiles and surface temp changes, but updates will follow. #spc #okwx #txwx #arwx #mowx #mswx #uswx

Short Wave Trough Injector to the southwest, with the soon amplified Jet we will see a spread of snow tonight through the (snow soon area), While it looks like the Winter Storm even Could get an earlier start tomorrow Morning the 23rd. I want to make myself clear things are on schedule how the dynamic patterns are moving. Remember travel will be highly impacted, and power outages will be an issue. Have everything you need as soon as possible. Avoid being out if you can, If you have to work outdoor and its mandatory, safety is priority no matter what, make sure you don't put yourself in harm's way. #uswx #spc #WinterStormWarning
