The National Weather Service and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecast model are now in agreement as the chance of snow creeps to 50% in the Florida Panhandle on Tuesday.

An Accuweather forecast predicts a 10-20% chance of snow flurries in the Florida panhandle next week. Here's how cold it has to get for snow to form.

A new winter storm will bring rain and some of the coldest temperatures of the season to the southeastern United States, including much of Florida. AccuWeather says that the same weather pattern driving high winds and spreading wildfires in California will trigger the storm in the eastern U.

The Florida Panhandle could see a brief period of snow or ice next week, if the right conditions combine. Bottom line: Cold temps coming.

The influx of arctic air has forecasters saying this January is, so far, the coldest one since 2018, with locations like Orlando seeing temperature averages 5.4 degrees lower than the average between Jan. 1-9. Orlando saw temperatures 9.8 degrees below average in the same time frame in 2018.

Those areas, along with northern Louisiana, northeastern Georgia, South Carolina and western North Carolina, will likely see some ice impact from the storm. Areas hit the hardest will likely see millions impacted by power outages,
