WINTER WEATHER
IN SIMPLE TERMS:---Rough day for Travelers today in the MidWest, North, SouthEast, and East Coast. I posted a live Airport Delay Graphic at the top of this Blog. I warned on my Blog a week ago of what i was seeing developing as a Major Winter Storm at the end of the Thanksgiving going home travel time. Wow is it coming together into a strong Event that will produce delays in Travel for Sunday and Monday!
We have a very severe weather event today in Florida. The worst thing is the rising of the sun heating up over land and making air rise before the front moves thru the center and Southern part of Florida. Here is the setup. Look at Graphic 5 and you will see a very strong Subtropical Jet in the South. The Northern Jet is colliding and Dipping south with a low currently positioned near central Indiana. A secondary low is froming along the Front and will move up the East coast as a NorEaster. This secondary low is forming near Northern Florida. Combined with the Jet Stream and a Strong High located in the Bahammas, the pressure gradiant will become very strong. Look at Graphic 10 how tight the Isobars over Florida is getting. Putting all of this together is so unstable combined with the heating of the day is spelling very severe weather conditions for Flordia today. I expect to see a very large outbreak of Tornados today with this much instablility that is developing. Please have your Weather Radios on and open up the Weather Warning Link at the bottom of this section.
The MidWest, NorthEast, and as far south as possibly Atlanta will have a snow event. If you look at SV Graphic 2 you can see the Snow and Rain events occuring. SV Graphics 9 will stay updated as the NWS changes its Weather Forecasting. What is going to happen is as the NorEaster develops and move up the Coast throwing moisture into the East Coast from the Atlantic and the Main Low located near Indiana continues to move East with Cold air on the back side. When these to Lows come to gether with the Cold air on the back side i see a very large snow event occuring from Boston North with very windy conditions also.
Gang, I do believe as far south as Atlanta (and maybe further south)will have Winter Storm problems with freezing rain and snow. I also see a very typical NorEaster developing bring a very large Snow event to the NorthEast. Both models are in aggreement to a strong low moving up the coast.
Today is going to be a very rough day for Florida as to many ingrediants are happening at the same time. When the squall line moves south, wind direction from directions will occur and cause spinning. Along with the Subtropical Jet and the Dip of the Northern Jet combined with the heating of the day with warm Temperatures and high humidities is spelling for MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH TORNADOS LIKELY! PLEASE LET FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS MADE AWARE OF THIS STRONG POSSIBLITY FOR TODAY!

I am posting live Radar feeds that are Velocity Radar Loops that will show rotation for Tornado activity. Hope these help!
