HYPE: Snow for Gulf Coast, Florida?
As if it's not enough craziness to have snow in Texas and Virginia in April, one of the computer models, the NMM, is printing out snowcover in Florida Sunday on its overnight Weird Run [JessePedia]:
The odd thing is that no snow shows up on the winter precipitation type maps, but of course those maps have to decide on one type of precipitation for each dot, so they don't show where areas of mixed precipitation will fall. The most winter precip that they show is ice and sleet in southern Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama:
Still, it's a bad sign (for Florida snow lovers) that the GFS (typically coldest and snowiest of the models) doesn't even buy into this solution; it takes the snowcover no further east than southern Louisiana (which, I know, would still be quite unusual, and noteworthy).
P.S.: It's not going to snow in Charleston, South Carolina, according to the local paper.
