TAMPA, Fla. — More areas are now included in the Freeze Warning (dark blue) for tonight through early Wednesday morning.
WATCH updated forecast from Chief Meteorologist Denis Phillips
Here's where the forecast is 32 degrees (or below) at 7:30 on Wednesday morning.
This is shaping up to be one of the COLDEST Gasparillas in a long time. Chances of weekend Nor'Easter increasing. No, that doesn't mean snow chances for our area are increasing as well. Either way, a hard freeze is likely for much of the area Saturday night.
"Gulf Effect Snow" is trending on the socials AND on my family text thread.
Yes, it IS a thing. Ive talked about it countless times on DPL over the years. Folks up North know "Lake Effect Snow". It's the exact same thing.
When extremely cold air travels over the warm waters of the Gulf, it's possible (although extremely uncommon) for snow flurries to develop along the coast.
Will it happen here this weekend? We've also been chatting about THAT for the last week on DPL. Unlikely, but absolutely possible overnight Saturday night. It's rare the air is cold enough for it to happen. This weekend, it might be.
