As we head into next week, people are talking about an expected “pattern flip” in the weather. The current warm and dry conditions will give way to colder air and rain-producing systems as the persistent upper ridge breaks down. There have been rumors on social media about tornadoes and snow, but meteorologists say there is no way to accurately predict severe a thunderstorm threat for the Deep South this far in advance. While a cold core upper low/trough is expected to move over the eastern and southern US by the end of next week, significant snowfall is unlikely in the area. Although there is talk about snow, it is rare to see any significant snowfall in our area in November. Freezing temperatures could occur between November 22-25, but it’s too early for a detailed forecast. Also, Hurricane Sara may impact the Florida Peninsula by mid-next week, but its effects are expected to stay away from the Central Gulf Coast. Weather conditions can change quickly, so it’s important to stay informed with updates as the weather pattern evolves.
