NYC Snowstorm: A Nor'easter threatens the Tri-State area with heavy snow and strong winds.
Forecasters and residents alike are once again scanning the horizon as winter continues to ensnare the Northeast, this time for more than just cold air. This weekend, a "potential coastal storm" with the potential to become a "nor'easter" is expected to affect the New York City area and a lot of the East Coast. It could bring heavy snow, strong winds, and even blizzard conditions in some places. It is anticipated that the weather system will begin to form off the coast of the Southeast before deepening as it moves north along the Atlantic seaboard. This kind of system can draw moist air from the ocean and, when cold Arctic winds are in place over land, produce significant snowfall in a relatively short period of time.

Central Florida is under a fire weather watch due to the increased risk of wildfires.
Late winter is a time of mild temperatures and clear skies for many Floridians, not of burning sun and wildfire danger.

These are conditions that are more frequently associated with the dry plains or the mountainous West than with the Sunshine State's typically humid climate. Fire officials, meteorologists, and residents alike were taken aback by how quickly the region’s fire risk escalated. The ideal conditions for fires to start and grow included dry vegetation, persistent winds, and low humidity. Authorities urged caution in some areas due to the speed with which embers can travel in gusty conditions, transforming tiny sparks into rapidly spreading wildfires. The narrative began with a prolonged drought.
