Starting off Gasparilla Saturday with 12 miles at sunrise. Bayshore Blvd is closed to traffic ahead of the pirate invasion 🏴‍☠️ this afternoon. Coldest day in Tampa so far at 34 degrees!

This…is…crazy! ❄️

Well well well. I left Florida and apparently left the door open for the cold air to get in. This is crazy!!! Anyone traveling to north Florida just to see snow???

Here's how out in-house IBM GRAF model sees it for the Deep South Snow/ Ice storm. It's mainly snow with sleet mixed in. Although a little freezing rain is likely in North FL. But the totals are HIGE for the Gulf Coast... many locations seeing 4-8" of snow from east Texas to New Orleans-Baton Rouge to Pensacola. Even Talahassee is on the edge of signficant accumulating snow in the GRAF (and also in the HRRR too). So down't sleep on TLH. You may wake up to more snow than you bargained for.
Plan Zero along the I-10 corridor as the snow comes across starting later tonight through early Wednesday morning. Cities are not prepared to do much (few with salt, plows etc) so IMO just stay home if you can!

What a wonderful long life he had. 😢

REST IN PEACE 🕊 Jimmy Carter, the unassuming Georgia peanut farmer whose improbable political rise took him to the governor’s mansion before the White House, died on Sunday at the age of 100. Read more: https://bit.ly/3VTnMjR

Big thanks to all the organizers of St Pete Run Fest. Another amazing race weekend. Theme was Alice in Runderland! Glad we were able to still run 13.1 miles through the city after the two hurricanes. LOUD Runners know how to enjoy a race that ends in dancing at the finish line.

Last five minutes of my broadcast meteorology career. I can safely say all 24 years have been fun! (17 at WFLA) I am lucky to have worked with such great people!!!

Get ready for a warm, November day. The SPANNTASTIC Scale gets an 8 today….my last day at Channel 8. Thanks for so many wonderful years. 😃 www.wfla.com/weather

Warm and super-humid today with near record high temperatures. Just a few passing showers today, and less rain expected through the weekend. www.wfla.com/weather

Warm, humid, and breezy again today. Watch for passing showers off & on through the day. Less rain tomorrow as Rafael tracks away from Florida. Drier this weekend. www.wfla.com/weather

Warm, humid & breezy on this Election Day. Watch for a few passing showers this afternoon that continue overnight. Better rain chances tomorrow & Thursday as Rafael drifts west in the Gulf of Mexico. www.wfla.com/weather

Warm, humid & breezy today. Just a few spotty showers today. Rain chances increase as a tropical system enters the Gulf of Mexico. This will likely strengthen to Tropical Storm Rafael, but it should stay just off our coast. Stay tuned for any changes. www.wfla.com/weather

Amanda Holly and I took a little boat ride down the Hillsborough River to chat about how she grew up in Sarasota and her path to WFLA. I am so proud of all she's accomplished, and I'm proud to call her my friend! 🥰

Warm for November! Not much rain today, but we do have better chances for a shower tomorrow. Still tracking that tropical wave in the Caribbean. www.wfla.com/weather

Happy Halloween 🎃 The weather is a TREAT today! Warm, breezy, dry & comfortable for trick-or-treaters. Humidity increases into the weekend. www.wfla.com/weather

Warm and breezy today. Just a tiny rain chance. Even less rain tomorrow for Halloween. We stay warmer than average through the first days of November. Not much rain expected on any day. www.wfla.com/weather

So happy to know that Amanda Holly will be helping you all wake up each morning once I leave WFLA. She grew up in Sarasota and loves this area very much. It's been a delight working with her for five years now.

We should see more sunshine today, but there will also be a couple more light showers this afternoon. We keep it mostly dry and comfortable for the rest of the week. Ready for trick-or/treaters??? Www.wfla.com/weather
