Florida doing what it does best today, avoiding the gray, cold air that’s afflicting most of the nation.

My favorite pattern in the cool season - the southeast ridge. In my Indiana days it meant very active weather. Now in FL it’s just gorgeous warm sunshine. This could last all winter long and nothing would make me happier. But I have a feeling it won’t. #FLwx

Milky Way on display tonight in SWFL.

The SWFL coast was showing off today.

Kinda amazing to consider how far the dust left behind from yesterday’s raindrops traveled to get to Florida from the Sahara.

White skies over SWFL this evening as clearing occurs behind earlier storms. Impressive SAL (Saharan Air Layer) overhead that likely contributed to gusty nature of today’s storms.

Unreal

Well, it’s cold down here but at least we aren’t dealing with that.
