👤 Who: Meteorologists, Florida residents, FDEM
📌 What: Potential snow and icy conditions
📅 When: Sunday, January 18, 2026
📍 Where: Florida, particularly north of the Tennessee Valley
❗ Why: Freezing temperatures coinciding with moisture could create hazardous winter conditions
Meteorologists are closely monitoring model runs for the potential of snow in parts of Florida on Sunday, January 18, 2026. Forecasts have varied in recent days, swinging between light flurries, a wintry mix, and a possible accumulation of up to one inch.
The latest GFS, Euro, and CMC models show differing scenarios. While the CMC model keeps snow north of the Tennessee Valley, both the GFS and Euro suggest that freezing temperatures could coincide with moisture, creating conditions where snow or ice could stick.
Officials caution that while this isn’t expected to be a “Snowmageddon” like in 2025, even a small accumulation could make driving hazardous. Residents are encouraged to stay alert and monitor updates, as a Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM) call could be issued if conditions trend toward winter weather.
Officials also reminded residents to practice the 5 P’s of cold weather safety:
People

And Practice Fire Safety
Stay tuned for further updates as forecasts continue to evolve.
