Today is probably going to be one of the most exciting weather days of the year. We are starting out this morning with temperatures in the upper 50s and lower 60s, that are already rising on southerly winds gusting over 40 mph. These winds are transporting copious amounts of moisture northward into the region, with dew points near 60 degrees already this morning. With lots of sunshine, and the southerly winds, high temperatures should make in into the middle 70s! Then, a cold fronts will come crashing through, dropping temperatures as much as 20 degrees in an hour, along with showers and thunderstorms. There is a slight risk for severe weather to day with any of the storms that for along the front. Behind the front, more heavy rain is possible, with rainfall amounts of an inch plus possible.

Overnight, colder air will filter into the region, and begin to change the rain over to snow. Areas from St. Joe northward should should see the transition between midnight and 3am. Around the metro, the switchover should occur between 3 and 6am. North of I-70, 1-3" of snow are possible, south, a dusting to maybe an inch.
