Weather

A small clipper system is moving into the Southeast on Friday morning but doesn't have much precipitation with it. However, it will bomb out off the Carolina Coast Friday night and especially Saturday, leading to some heavy snow around the Carolinas and strong winds for the East Coast. That system will pull some very cold air southward through the country through the weekend, leading to the coldest air of the year for Florida.
