We had a cool weekend. From west to east. Here comes a cold front. Today lots of clouds and moisture increasing from the south and southeast and a complicated area of low pressure to our northwest. The trailing cold front will be impacting us later tonight and when it gets close to us, there should be a squall line ahead of it. From 2 00 to 6 00 a. M. , it should be accurate with a solid line of rain approaching the west coast and already in advance of that line, there has been areas of rain developing in the gulf and you can see some rain before the main line comes through. Nothing of note yet. Here it is, there has been a couple of watches up. Southern sections of mississippi, alabama and louisiana, all of this will be heading our way. The good news is that a lot of us, the north, and also the water temps in the eastern gulfs are chilly. That may alleviate the Severe Weather threat a bit. I think we will see a solid line of rain on the coast by 2 00 or 3 00 a. M. And one or two of the cells can be strong, heavy rain, gusting winding and small chance of an isolated tornado. Its not going to last long. Its going to zip along and by 5 00 a. M. Should be shifting to the east and by lunch time its long long gone. Sunshine develops and a lot to track tonight. Should be a busy evening. Back with the complete forecast at 520 20 5 20. What happened to this 6yearold, a tragedy. They told fox 13 nickels they have no idea how that happened.

Republican senators say they will not confirm his appointment no matter what or who he picks. President can pick who ever he wants but senate is not going to act. Senator rubio says the president is not open to everyone they want. We are not open to it. Period. The president could wait until the senate goes into appointment and in that scenario, would have a temporary justice and president obama may not want to try that because the Supreme Court has already ripped him for making illegal recess appointments in 2014. I think the nominee of the president should be rejected. President makes the appointment and senate confirms. Lets get on with our business. It may go into a series of four to four ties and set up the battle over who may swing the balance next year.

Just to give you a little bit of background, the u. S. Supreme court made this decision back in 2012 so some of the juvenile cases are coming up.

Some residents stayed home for president s day and dealing with ice and snow on the road from the mid atlantic to the northeast. Police are telling drivers to slow down and in washington, d. C. , crews loaded truck with a sand and salt mixture in order to give drivers traction on the ic roadways. This shows how cold it is in pennsylvania. The frank fort building quickly turned to ice. Not just fighting flames and freezing temps but high winds. Wow, look at that, the water just flows. Its incredible. They are dealing with the cold and ice and the next couple of days, go to rain and 65 to 60 degrees with flooding. In some places, 75 degree temperature rise. Lots going on. We have been cloudy for most of the day. A little bit of sunshine and mostly cloudy day. That is a look on the cam looking with tampa out in the distance and clouds increasing from the southwest and from south. Kind of a complex area of low pressure gets cranked up to the northwest and moisture is gradually increasing from the car carribean and dew point is muggy. Storm should be passing just to the north. I think we will see a solid line of rain and storms with the cold front later on tonight. Inside that line, there could be some gusty winds and a small chance of an isolated tornado, right along and temperatures in the 60s and low 70s and dew points are not that high. Thats good. The higher the dew point, the more moisture and instability the atmosphere has to work with. Dew points 50 near 60 and not a classic setup for Severe Weather. Here is the thing. And this is kind of a by product of el nino and we have a fast subtropical jet stream over us and have it embedded over us and as it moves to the east and carolinas, storms are going to rotate and could become heavy and a lot of the energy is going to go this way instead of this way and that will likely minimize the Severe Weather threat for us and does exist. Small chance of storms late tonight. In advance of that, there has been areas of spotty light rain. I mean really height moving into highlands county. Not a big deal. Approaching us from the west. They could be here before midnight. But without a doubt, the strongest cells will be back here. This is in conjunction with the cold front and this is going to be literally raising to the southeast. This line here is going to be on our coast line by about 2 00 a. M. And that is the one that has a history of producing strong and gusty winds. Here is a tornado watch which is almost in tallahassee and other is in effect by louisiana and line is approaching new orleans and snow and ice. Highest risk of Severe Weather over night is in the yellow, by tallahassee all the way to the west of new orleans and for us a marginal risk of Severe Weather. There is a chance but in any given spot, the chance is fairly remote. 6 00 a. M. , a few strong to severe storms if possible. Move from northwest to southeast. And by 8 00 in the morning i think a lot of the weather is gone as it races rapidly in orlando. Perfect time. Got to download the sky radar app. If you are in bed, you will get audio alerts for tornado and warnings and severe thunderstorms and watches and warnings and its like having a Severe Weather station next to you. Go to the apple store or Google Play Store and download it and keep yourself safe in the overnight hours. Will watch for Thunder Showers to approach the west coast. Some could be strong.
