🌡️December’s temperature roller coaster continues 🎢

Hey insiders, it’s Chief Meteorologist Candace Campos here with more on the temperature roller coaster we’ve been on for the last few weeks! Are you a fan of the cold or would you rather have a warm December? I personally love the break from the heat and humidity.

But while we are expecting to warm up into the weekend, conditions will remain comfortable at least! Click here to read more on what we can expect as we get closer to Christmas!

Florida won’t see snow, but the north could get feet of it this week ❄️

A storm system is currently sweeping across the eastern U.S. and is expected to bring an arctic blast and 10 to 20 inches of snow to areas south and east of the Great Lakes, with strong winds causing near-whiteout conditions.

Thursday Radar

Cold air from Canada and moisture from the lakes will fuel heavy snowfall along the eastern and southern shores of the Great Lakes from Wednesday through Friday.

While Florida won’t see snow, we’re still feeling the cold, though thankfully no freezing temperatures—yet.

Meteorologist Michelle Morgan here, explaining how lake-effect snow could cause significant delays up north. Click here to learn more.


Crowning confidence: How the ‘wig wagon’s’ mission is transforming lives

Hi everyone, meteorologist Julie Broughton here showcasing this week’s recipient of the Getting Results Award.

Erika Karlinsky founded the For Nina Foundation in memory of her daughter, Nina, who passed away from leukemia.

The foundation started by supporting Dance Marathon at the University of Florida, a cause Nina loved.

This year, the mission expanded to offer free custom wigs to young cancer patients. Click here to read more.


👑The king Of meteor showers peaks this weekend🌠

The best annually-occurring meteor shower of the year, the Geminids, peaks this weekend. What’s going on, guys? Meteorologist Jonathan Kegges back with you. I love this shower so much not only because of the number of meteors that will be seen but because of the color they make in the sky.

This shower is generated by asteroid debris rather than from a comet like many of the other notable meteor showers.

Firework colors

As a result, the elements are different. Much like how fireworks get their color, when these elements burn up in the earth’s atmosphere they emit different colors based on the element.

This year’s show will be suppressed because of the moonlight, but it’s still worth a watch for the brighter meteors. For more on how to see click here.
