# Florida Map Shows Cities That Could See Snow Amid Plunging Temperatures

Published [...] "Will it happen? Too early to know," Berardelli said in part. "I’d caution everyone that the models have been very inconsistent. So confidence is low. It’s definitely cold enough for flakes to fly, but ground temps should be above freezing, so very limited to no accumulation is likely in Florida. GA, AL and the Carolinas are a different story. Stay tuned!! #snow #cold"

Noah Bergen, weeknight senior meteorologist for FOX35 Orlando, also said on X Wednesday: "Massive changes today that I buy into. Euro model ensembles now show a decent chance at snow in the air in the Tallahassee, FL area Sunday. 42% of the model ensemble now show enough snow to accumulate. See if the trend holds tonight or fades away but I suspect it will get stronger in the models."

A portion of the Florida Panhandle, including the city of Pensacola and area west of Tallahassee, could see some snowflakes flying over the weekend as a weather system blows through.

A series of powerful Arctic cold fronts is pushing Florida into a period of record-setting low temperatures, prompting freeze watches across much of the state. Additionally, model projections have circulated on social media, suggesting a rare chance for snow in northern Florida, especially the Panhandle.

While hard freezes are uncommon in the Sunshine State, snow is even rarer, making the prospect of wintry precipitation significant for residents, agriculture and infrastructure. The anomaly potentially raises safety and economic concerns, as Floridians—typically unaccustomed to such weather—are urged to protect vulnerable populations and resources.

Jeff Berardelli, Florida media outlet WFLA-TV's chief meteorologist and climate specialist, posted about the possibility on X Wednesday, acknowledging that European and American weather models predict snow in northern portions of the state.

"Will it happen? Too early to know," Berardelli said in part. "I’d caution everyone that the models have been very inconsistent. So confidence is low. It’s definitely cold enough for flakes to fly, but ground temps should be above freezing, so very limited to no accumulation is likely in Florida. GA, AL and the Carolinas are a different story. Stay tuned!! [#snow](https://x.com/hashtag/snow?src=hashtag_click) [#cold](https://x.com/hashtag/cold?src=hashtag_click)"

Noah Bergen, weeknight senior meteorologist for FOX35 Orlando, also said on X Wednesday: "Massive changes today that I buy into. Euro model ensembles now show a decent chance at snow in the air in the Tallahassee, FL area Sunday. 42% of the model ensemble now show enough snow to accumulate. See if the trend holds tonight or fades away but I suspect it will get stronger in the models."

[Temperatures are expected to drop into the 20s in part of the state,](https://www.newsweek.com/warnings-issued-for-millions-as-florida-temperatures-set-to-plunge-11361008) starting on Thursday. Nearly the entirety of Florida faces a cold weather advisory or freeze watch, the National Weather Service (NWS) says.

NWS Meteorologist Joe Wegman told *Newsweek* on Wednesday that "It looks like Saturday night would be the best chance for snow, and the Panhandle would see the pretty kind of snow that would fall but not stick."

"There is certainly not unanimous agreement of that happening as most of the other models show dry, plain rain, or a few flurries on Sunday morning," Wegman added.

A January thaw that brought widespread record warmth to the United States is coming to an end.

It will be replaced by the familiar polar vortex pattern that caused below-average temperatures in the Midwest and East last month — with lobes of Arctic air frequently blowing in during the second half of January.

## 3. Insured losses from wildfire, storms and floods hit record high globally - Los Angeles Times

### Summary

Advertisement

The threat posed by these water, storm and fire secondary perils has steadily mounted in recent years, forcing insurers and investors in insurance-linked securities such as catastrophe bonds to rethink their approach to risk. Investors have also noted that it’s more challenging to model such weather events than it is to model peak perils.

Wildfires that engulfed Los Angeles in January last year were by far the costliest natural disaster of 2025, according to Munich Re. But losses were also driven by severe thunderstorms in central and southern U.S. states in March, it said.

Last year probably matched 2023 as the second-hottest on record, according to data by the European Union-backed Copernicus Climate Change Service. The warmest year was 2024.

Advertisement [...] Never before has the insurance industry faced such big losses tied to floods, severe thunderstorms and wildfires, according to a fresh study that links rising temperatures to increasingly dangerous weather patterns.

Insured losses for so-called nonpeak perils — also sometimes referred to as secondary perils — reached a record $98 billion last year, Munich Re said in a report released Tuesday. Overall insured losses from natural disasters, including peak perils such as hurricanes, were $108 billion, it said.

Tobias Grimm, the German reinsurer’s chief climatologist, said secondary perils are “becoming more severe and more frequent in many parts of the world.” And the evidence points to climate change playing “an increasing role in this development,” he said in an interview. [...] It’s been a year since two fires tore through Los Angeles County, killing 31 people and destroying 16,000 structures, and the disaster is still unfolding as thousands of people continue pick up the pieces, find new places to live, new jobs, new neighborhoods, and wrestle with whether to return to their old streets, which were burned beyond recognition.

## 4. Scientists Confirm 2025 Was Third-Hottest Year, Trailing 2024 and 2023 - Insurance Journal

**URL:** [https://www.insurancejournal.com/news/national/2026/01/15/854369.htm](https://www.insurancejournal.com/news/national/2026/01/15/854369.htm)  
**Score:** 0.2680

### Summary

At least half the globe’s land in 2025 faced a higher-than-average number of heat-stress days, or conditions that feel like at least 32C (90F). Greenland warmed in May more than 12C above average in some places. The ice there melted 12 times faster than usual on May 19.

The extra heat makes extreme weather worse. More than 400 people died in wildfires in Los Angeles in January and the area saw $40 billion in insured losses alone. Climate change made the fire weather 35% more likely, according to World Weather Attribution, a scientific group that analyzes weather events shortly after they occur to determine the role that climate change may have played. [...] Total precipitation was more or less average, a fact that belies destructive flooding in many parts of the world.

In central Texas in early July, flash flooding killed more than 135 people, including 27 children and counselors at Camp Mystic in Kerr County. Pakistan saw a near-repeat of its deadly 2022 floods during its monsoon season. More than 1,750 people perished in Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam and Thailand in late November, when three cyclones engulfed a region not known for them. [...] What makes this result extraordinary, scientists say, is that 2025 saw a cooling phase in the equatorial Pacific Ocean, or La Niña, that suppresses global temperatures. In other words: Heat from greenhouse gases countered that cooling influence enough that the year still landed among the very warmest.

It’s more evidence that “human-caused warming is now really overwhelming inter-annual natural variability” in weather, said Daniel Swain, a climate scientist in the University of California’s Agriculture and Natural Resources division.

# Scientists Confirm 2025 Was Third-Hottest Year, Trailing 2024 and 2023

Last year was the third hottest on record, according to an analysis of temperature data released Wednesday by three independent agencies. That puts 2025 just behind the second-hottest year, 2023, and the hottest, 2024.

What makes this result extraordinary, scientists say, is that 2025 saw a cooling phase in the equatorial Pacific Ocean, or La Niña, that suppresses global temperatures. In other words: Heat from greenhouse gases countered that cooling influence enough that the year still landed among the very warmest.

It’s more evidence that “human-caused warming is now really overwhelming inter-annual natural variability” in weather, said Daniel Swain, a climate scientist in the University of California’s Agriculture and Natural Resources division.

The notable 2025 heat is in line with what many scientists say is a recent [speeding up](https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-00816-z) of the pace of global warming. “The warming spike observed from 2023-2025 has been extreme, and suggests an acceleration,” wrote researchers with Berkeley Earth, a scientific nonprofit that maintains one of the temperature databases.

Several factors are likely contributing to the acceleration, they wrote, including declines in reflective low-hanging clouds and in sulfur pollution from shipping that has a cooling effect.

The EU’s Copernicus Climate Change Service, the UK Met Office and Berkeley Earth found that 2025 was hotter than the 1850-1900 average by 1.47C, 1.41C and 1.44C, respectively.

According to Copernicus, the three-year warming average is now for the first time above 1.5C — the threshold that countries pledged not to breach in the 2015 Paris Agreement. The group estimates that the world might fully surpass the 1.5C mark by mid-2029, 13 years sooner than was projected when countries signed the pact. (Exceeding the Paris limit itself doesn’t mark a step-change in worsening climate impacts; it’s more of a diplomatic target.)

Humans burning fossil fuels is the overwhelming cause of global warming and provides a long-term push on the planet’s temperature. Because worldwide emissions continue to rise, the past 11 years have all been among the 11 hottest, and the hottest 25 years have all occurred since 1998.

At least half the globe’s land in 2025 faced a higher-than-average number of heat-stress days, or conditions that feel like at least 32C (90F). Greenland warmed in May more than 12C above average in some places. The ice there melted 12 times faster than usual on May 19.

The extra heat makes extreme weather worse. More than 400 people died in wildfires in Los Angeles in January and the area saw $40 billion in insured losses alone. Climate change made the fire weather 35% more likely, according to World Weather Attribution, a scientific group that analyzes weather events shortly after they occur to determine the role that climate change may have played.

Year to year, fluctuations in the average temperature reflect short-term weather conditions as much as climate change. The presence of a warming El Niño or cooling La Niña phase in the equatorial Pacific Ocean is usually the controlling factor in where any year ranks among the most recent several.

Considering that the Pacific last year was in either a neutral phase or a slight tilt toward La Niña, 2025 was hot. It was only negligibly cooler than 2023, a year that saw an El Niño emerge in the summer. In fact, last year was hotter than every El Niño year before 2023.

Lower temperatures in the tropics offset surging heat elsew

Distributed by EIN Presswire

*InAmerica celebrates record-breaking Early Decision success, with 42% ED admits, 15% to top 10 schools, and major growth in its College Division.*

NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, January 14, 2026 /[EINPresswire.com](https://www.einpresswire.com/)/ — [InAmerica Education](https://www.inamericaedu.com/), a premier educational consulting firm headquartered in New York and established in 2013, proudly announces its outstanding Early Decision results for the 2025-2026 application cycle. With a deeply experienced team of admissions professionals and a driven cohort of students, InAmerica has secured placements at some of the most prestigious institutions in the United States, including MIT, the University of Chicago, Northwestern, Washington University in St. Louis, Georgetown, Carnegie Mellon, Tufts, Emory, New York University, and many more.

These extraordinary outcomes reflect the strength of InAmerica’s collaborative, committee-style approach — a hallmark of the company’s admissions strategy. Each student benefits from tailored guidance, multi-level feedback, and expert positioning strategies, ensuring that every application reflects the student’s unique story, strengths, and aspirations.

This year, InAmerica’s College Division saw a remarkable 32% growth in client volume over the previous cycle, demonstrating the increasing trust families place in the firm’s proven methods. Notably, 42% of InAmerica students were accepted through Early Decision, and an additional 30% received offers through Early Action, which is a stunning feat given that many Early Action results are still pending. These early results already far exceed last year’s benchmarks.

Further highlighting the caliber of InAmerica’s students, 15% have been admitted to U.S. News & World Report top 10 universities, while 36% earned offers from top 30 institutions. Many students have been accepted into highly competitive majors such as Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, and Neuroscience, reaffirming InAmerica’s ability to help students break into the most selective programs.

“This year’s Early Decision results are a testament to the trust our families place in us and the dedication of our team,” said Joshua Mauro, Director of College Admissions for InAmerica. “We are incredibly proud of our students’ accomplishments and honored to help shape the next generation of leaders, thinkers, and changemakers.”

With over a decade of excellence in educational consulting, InAmerica continues to lead with integrity, innovation, and results. The firm remains committed to helping families navigate the increasingly complex landscape of college admissions with confidence and clarity.
