The "bomb cyclone" that's affecting the SE USA is also hitting us here in Melbourne. It has been forecast to be cooling off by midday on the Weather Underground 10 day forecast around that long (10 days). It started out a bit higher in temperature and oscillated around that but has settled a bit lower over the last few days, as tomorrow morning's low dropped from 27 to 25. I know that doesn't mean much without some of idea of what normal temperatures are like, so I copied some data from a .pdf handout that the National Weather Service has on their local website.
Note this is a couple of years old and you can see nothing more recent than 2021 in the week I clipped out. You'll note the record lows for the 1st and 2nd are 32 and 33 respectively. Tomorrow's forecast of 25 is far below the record and Monday's low is forecast to be 28, compared to the record of 33. The lowest temperature ever recorded in a February isn't visible here: it's 27 on February 26, 1967. We look to break that record as well tomorrow, moving the coldest ever in February to the 1st.
The Weather Underground Forecast just changed tonight's forecast to this:
There have been consistent forecasts for a small chance of snow flurries primarily on the Gulf Coast north of the Tampa Bay area, as well as farther north on the East coast. This is the first mention I've seen of snow in this area.
As someone said, "Global warming... Is there nothing it can't do?" Dang... sarcasm again...
For those wondering,
the SLS/Artemis Wet Dress Rehearsal started earlier at 8:00 PM EST or 0100
UTC.
Ahead of the first launch window for Artemis 2, which runs from Feb. 8 to Feb. 11, NASA will complete a mission countdown simulation to power on and fuel the Space Launch System rocket. Operators are expected to be called to stations about 49 hours ahead of a simulated T-0, currently scheduled for Monday, at 9 p.m. EST (0200 GMT, Feb. 3).
