Why February Can Bring "Weather Whiplash" to Florida

Another statewide cooldown is expected this weekend, sending 30s back into North Florida and well below averages for the rest of the state.

Climatologically, February has a reputation for delivering anything but consistency. Florida Storms Digital Meteorologist Leslie Hudson explains why this time of year remains one of the most unpredictable stretches of the year.

The “weather whiplash” coming this weekend stays with most of the State well into next week. Daytime highs will average a good twenty degrees below averages in north and central Florida. With chilly mornings lasting at least through mid week.
