113 Days Til 2026 Hurricane Season Cold Records Being Broken This Winter in the Carolinas and Florida.... Weather History

 

As a Hurricane Historian... a Weather Historian every fact about a current trend is up for grabs in the research game that goes on in the Off Season.  It's 113 days til the start of the 2026 Hurricane Season officially using the June 1st start so this post on X caught my attention. I had to double check, but I knew one year was a crazy busy year and another year was slow and I wasn't sure on the third year. So let's take a quick look in a short blog on Super Bowl Sunday.

Understand that it's been very cold in Raleigh, where we have had multiple events with frozen precipitation and we have piles of snow that's been plowed into piles of snow that look like mini mountains in every large parking lot around. No snow on the ground here, though I do see my neighbor has some in shaded spots in his yard and that's because it's been way below freezing at night. Normally this part of the South waits for the snow to melt and it usually does within a few days. But this has been a real Winter for NC and the "first week of February ranks among the top 15 coldest first weeks of February going back through our historical records" according to the National Weather Service in Raleigh.

1887 I knew was a busy year.

Busy close in = more landfalls.

Many ships had to put into port in Key West that year.

Many on their way to Galveston or Mobile

Or New Orleans.

My family lived in Key West then on Whitehead Street.

I've searched through old records at the library on Fleming.

1887 came after the hyperbusy 1886 Hurricane Season.

Many coastal cruisers ...signs of fronts & curves out to sea.

19 systems, not bad for before satellite imagery!

1903 Hurricane Season.

7 Hurricanes!

Not all that strong but still...

2 USA landfalls.

One went straight to Mexico...

...tho it's referred to as a the Jamaica Hurricane.

That may be relevant but hope not....

No satellite imagery...

Love Weather Maps... 

August Cane smashed into the Islands

Beryl like yet stayed low.

High Pressure to the North.

1903 Florida Hurricane

aka other names.

Inchulva was a Steamship...

..that went down.

The high was not kind to Florida ...

..while not strong it was impactful.

This is a hurricane I have researched after reading personal reports from the local "historians" who kept logs, journals and multiple references in local newspapers. It made landfall near Ft Lauderdale and crossed the state damaging the Sugarcane Crops and sliced up into the Panhandle before curving away with an early front. My ancestors lived in the Tampa Bay area, after relocating from Key West and again have seen it written about in Tampa Hurricane History. In the Panhandle it hit crops again and in truth back in the day it didn't have to be a Cat 3 to destroy the crops and Agriculture was the First Florida Land Boom. 

Heavy damages along the coast...

...curving in around NJ

I thought it was worth highlighting the 1903 Hurricane as it was a year less talked about than the wild 1880s and the 1910 Hurricane Season that was crazy quiet and yet when you have a Category 5 Hurricane make landfall in October it's remembered forever especially after it looped and was infamous in Cuba.

This hurricane season was brought to you as the reminder of "never trust a quiet hurricane season until it's over" and in this case it was not over until October. Understand this hurricane, shown below, hit Cuba twice after stalling, looping and creating even more misery over Eastern Cuba before moving off with a front towards SW Florida and slowly snaking it's away across Florida before hugging the coastline becoming a huge danger to ships at sea across a wide area. Never trust a quiet season until it's over.  Again it's impact in Key West is legendary and while my family did not live there then, they had business interests and were there often. As always any hurricane in the Florida Straits between Florida and Cuba often impacts Key West and it did indeed.

La Brisa was quite the resort...

...before the hurricane.

Note the 1910 hurricane came the year after...

...the 1909 Hurricane.

Back to back years ....

...patterns do happen..

https://www.keywesthistoricmarkertour.org/marker/501 There's a marker with a story you can listen to if you are as into historical markers as I am..

https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=243862 Simonton and the beach... where the trolley line ended :)

Watched so many sunrises there with a cup of cafecito from the nearby Mini Mart sitting on the seawall.

So we have 2 busy years and 1 quiet year. 

All 3 years Florida was impacted, hit and/or was close enough to cause damages. 

Just an entry in my blog that is really my Weather Diary.

Adding this to my Weather Diary online so I can go back and look into this more at another time. 

It's been a very cold Winter in Raleigh and while I love a real Winter...it's done a real job on my health in that I have been dealing with headaches from the change of pressure often and more so the heat has been on more and it's a delicate dance between when I use the humidifier and when I do not need it and I'm on medication for a sinus infection and headache medication so I decided to write long today on this as it's both therapeutic and a curiosity that as we get closer to hurricane season we will all look back on the current odd pattern this winter that robbed parts of the West used to being buried in snow tho to be fair few in Montana are complaining and dumped Arctic air all the way down to South Florida and the Caribbean. 

And we will also obsess all through March and April about El Nino vs La Nina and the signs that we are seeing and on and on and on it'll go until we begin to see areas that may develop into an early tropical system before the actual start date of June 1st........or not. 

1910 Hurricane Season.

Slow to start.

Slow to get going.

Grand finale in Mid October.

Time will tell..

Supposed to be resting my islands...

Raining. Winter Storm Advisory in Carolinas. Rain to Snow to Maybe Freezing Rain. Whoah That's a Carolina Winter Sub.... Lots of Layers. Light Impacts Expected..............

 

oh look snow flakes in the morning.......

........then sunny!

Writing this blog this afternoon as I feel the current Winter System (Storm) moving through should be taken seriously. Obviously, without the panic drama of the storm that models showed would drop huge amounts of snow on Raleigh and it under performed due to a dry slot and left many bewildered on the inconsistencies of forecasting a winter storm in this region. As far as I could see when I was out this afternoon,  they did not brine the roads; they aren't expecting more than a light or strong dusting and to be fair it's raining before the turnover to snow. 

Allan Huffman Map from earlier today on X

Where I live I am in the top part of B.

Dusting to 1 inch. Freezing rain possible.

I'm close enough to the A area to pay attention to it.

These systems can be tricky...

rain moves in from the South

Cold air moving down.

Snow up to the North

Where they meet and when tells the story.

Most sources insisted it would begin raining around 6 or 7 PM. The rain moved in early around 4 PM. The cold weather also moved in early, temperatures dropped fast from a Spring like 45 degrees and I didn't even put the hoodie around me as I walked over to Barnes and Noble, leaving it around my waist because I'm lazy and I was pretending it felt like Spring. It no longer feels like Spring, it's really cold outside. That bone chilling, nasty cold is settling back into my bones. I shut the windows that I had open a bit and the heat is back on. 

It's hard to pin down the specifics of a winter storm in the Carolinas. You don't know what you don't know until you know. That's not a cop out but an explanation from living here over 16 years. That's why we had a dry spot that denied us of 8 or 10 inches, leaving us with 1-3 inches in the Raleigh area. 

Many times a storm that was supposed to deliver a light dusting over produced, especially when the cold air was in place, the ground is still covered in areas by piles of snow and it's followed several other winter storms ........many times one of those storms with light impacts can impact an area more than everyone expected.

I'm not saying I expect this system to overproduce various types of P-types but I am saying it could in some area and people should pay close attention to their weather sources in the morning. Currently schools are on a delayed start as it is in the forecast for Ice to be a problem on the roads from the rain, then wintry mix and then freezing rain providing a "light glaze" but I would not be surprised in some areas if that is changed to not melting by 9 AM. I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't get to above freezing until closer to Noon. Long run on sentence much like this winter here......

So I'd pencil in your commitments tomorrow and wait and see what actually happens. You know when we had a pencil and erased something we wanted to change. Something just is bugging me that it's wishcasting to think there will be no problems from this system considering how cold the ground is and how it's expected to snow into the morning (daytime) and we could have freezing rain. I've never seen a neck of the woods that used the word "could" so much as is used in Raleigh. But then again the phrase "might could" is an old saying here. So let me say, this system might could surprise some with more than they expected so don't assume there won't be changes made to the forecast. And, if not and it's just bone chilling damp and cold, be happy this was not a Carolina Snow Storm that did not deliver more than expected. I had a best friend when young who would not use pens, she was a writer and loved pencils. Sometimes I take out a pencil, smell it ...smile and use it for about 30 seconds. Conceptually there's something good about the concept, while it did erase you can always see a bit of what was there and the reminder that you changed your mind. Mother Nature changes her mind often this year.

That's my thinking on this storm. Then again I'm leaving the emergency supplies in the same spot in case we lose power (God Forbid) until probably March 1st. 

Winter 2026 is not done with North Carolina yet. 

Stay aware, stay prepared.

Stay happy and smile.

X mostly weather..........

Polar Vortex Merry Go Round. Denver & Billings Has Spring Like Weather While Miamians FREEZE & NC Getting More Snow Tomorrow.

Brrr!! Must be February!!

Watching weather people in North Carolina talking on the incoming system that could maybe, possibly bring a little more snow to our area. They are using words comically carefully so as not to panic a part of the population tired of Winter and praying for Spring. Then there's the hyping types who are screaming "3rd Week in a Row SNOW!" for the snow lovers wishing for more snow. It's February, some years we get snow, most years we do not. And it's not just North Carolina as areas in North Georgia are trying to dry out and dealing with very slow snow melt. I've been told when the snow melts you hit the layer of hard ice that was sleet on the bottom and it's not pretty and ABC Liquor Stores in Raleigh selling lots of Jack Daniels!

Those polka dot clouds offshore in the Atlantic...

...are cold, cold weather clouds.

There's a slot of dry air and blue skies...

...but behind it IS another system.

Yesterday we were all blue skies.

Gray, white like clouds moving in today...

It'll all really come down to timing.

Time of day the "precipitation" falls to the ground.

Some will be rain that'll help melt the snow.

Some may be snow 

"OH NO!!"

or 

"YAY!"

Lately we are less divided here on politics...

..than our love or hate for snow.

Maps are so simple.

That shade of blue is "mixed precipitation"

Maybe Freezing Rain ....

...or wintry mix.

We really didn't need a rodent ....

...to tell us Winter is here to stay for a while.

(sorry a groundhog is a rodent, that's true)

Meanwhile in Colorado they are basking in 60s...

Highs of 60s for Denver are like 80s for them.

Miami getting highs in the 50s is as if it was 30s.

And people in Denver way happier right now..

..than my family in Miami.

So snow or dry slot again?

Freezing Rain?

@SCweather_wx  on X

Mitch West Weather on YouTube from SC.

South Florida problems......

Not even a 75 in sight let alone 80 degrees in Miami.

vs Raleigh ....

Best advice.
Learn to go with the flow.

Know......

It'll change soon nuff.

And we will be soon discussing....

El Nino vs La Nina and Hurricane Season.

Keep a sense of humor ;)

La Nina discussion above.

This is MID February below

 

Until this pattern breaks...

...I'll be dressing warm.

Running the heat on low.

Making Soup and Chili!

Putting Kahlua in my Coffee

(great alliteration ...)

Not expecting to wear sandals.

Just know in the blink of the eye

It'll be Spring then Summer

Because that's how the 2020s been rolling!

Keep your sense of humor....

...and winter coat nearby.

Unless you're in Montana..

..where it "felt like Spring" yesterday

(from a friend there who is not missing snow)

Sweet dreams,

My forecast?

We will be on the Polar Vortex Merry Go Round..

...for a while.

"when it stops, no one knows"

Snow Covers the Ground in Raleigh. What Did We Learn From This Storm? I'm Happy.... Snowy & Beautiful in Raleigh Tonight!

 

So where do I start to tell this story of this amazing January that was filled with Winter Weather Warnings and snow that actually fell onto the ground in Raleigh in 2026? 

I'm took the day off today and just enjoyed staring at the snow that finally fell around 7 PM Saturday Night as it shows up above on my screenshot from my phone......that did verify! I'm offline on Saturdays for the Sabbath and the first thing I did after the sunset here was grab my phone, check on my kids (really) and looked at the radar. I knew a dry slot would come like the Grinch and steal much of our snow that was earlier forecast to be as high as the sky or so it seemed and we'd be lucky if we'd get 3 inches. I stared at my dry back yard with a bit of ice still from the sleet storm the weekend before....and it did kind of "smell like snow" on the balcony looking out wondering when this much ballyhooed snow would actually...........really fall. And, it did as the APP promised and as many had said that the Dry Slot would steal snow early on but eventually snow would move in from the Coastal Low and it did. I'm in a long, run on sentence mood......

Am I upset? Not really. Been here when there's been more than 8 inches of snow and it took weeks to get back to normal. But that part of me that loves weather and weather history would like to have seen it again. Been here 16 years though I'll admit the first half of that I was in Miami as much as I was here as I had family commitments there. Still ........we go for sometimes 2 or 3 years without even a fricking flake falling. I mean nothing. Promises of maybe flurries and nada, nothing.......not even a stray snow flake. For someone like me that loves a Carolina Winter you feel cheated, deprived and frustrated. 

This year we had snow falling a few times before the promised huge totals of snow and so really I'm kind of happy and smiling and typing this from my bed, under 2 very warm covers and the sound of the little fake fireplace nearby and staring out at a touch of a pink, coral sunset illuminating the tops of the Carolina Pines. My husband is making dinner. I'm just chilling, but trying to stay warm as I don't like the heat on too high as honestly it messes with my sinuses and yes I have a humidifier quietly humming as well.

What actually annoys me... if there's one thing .......is that people don't really listen to what we say nor all the ways we try to remind people it's a difficult forecast, it'll change often and there will be a wide range of snow possibilities. And people don't check back as we ask them to and don't remember to check if something changed and so "no I was not surprised the two storms did not phase and I was prepared not to get snow as high as the sky in Raleigh" but I thought we'd definitely get a solid dusting or 2 or 3 inches. 

People need to understand a forecast is predicting with scientific knowledge as good as we can what might happen. And, in real time we get more data or as we say Down South "more better" data and modeling comes into better agreement and lastly we see how the two storms rotating separately but close together are actually behaving before we are sure some areas will get more, some areas less.

I talked a blue streak on how some cities in NC in the general Raleigh Durham area will get lots of snow and some barely any.  Someone here in Raleigh read my blog and comments and when there was no snow yesterday he went over to the Temple for services and refreshments after and told my husband that he read what I said and told him his wife is "good and in the future he's just gonna listen to what she says" and I chuckled. In Miami many people say that who have been through decades of hurricane seasons with me, but here in Raleigh I'm not as well known and never thought I'd be good at explaining winter storms as they were totally a mystery to me when I moved here. No one ever could seem to get the forecast right and weren't sure what we would get until the snow began falling.  Like that famous Weather Rock that tells you it's raining if it's wet. That's North Carolina, unless you're living out West in the mountains.

Link below if you want to buy it on Etsy

A bit bugged doesn't say Hurricane.

But I guess if it's windy and rainy...

...and the stone is gone prob Hurricane!

Seriously how much snow do we really NEED to say we got a snow storm? In my neck of the woods we did have 3 inches. I measured all over the yard on different surfaces with a ruler. I was so cold after that little scientific experiment. I'm in the part of the Raleigh area that's further North and further West where some higher totals were recorded. I'm gonna be upset because we did not get 7 inches?  Come on, if you think that you don't know me. IF we got nothing but the dry slot and I woke up to not even a dusting I'd be really upset. Very upset. 

So what did we learn?

Never listen to the first forecast and believe it's carved in stone. 

Never expect you will get the highest total because it showed that 4 days out. 

            Same way just because you are in the Cone 7 to 10 days out doesn't mean you're getting the eye.

                      Cones change during hurricane season.

                                Models change a lot before a winter storm.

I'm good. And oh by the way there are more "chances" for more winter weather later this week in the area. As always follow your local experts, check back for updates and changes to the forecast. Do not expect to get a blizzard but don't pretend you might not get a little more snow or sleet or rain..

Cause it's North Carolina, we get a little bit of everything often in one week :) Cause Mother Nature and the Polar Vortex is not done with us yet........

Maybe.......time will tell.

It's Raleigh!

He's really a sweet guy...

Love Chick... he's awesome.

And current radar shows snow nearby

But other than early stray flurries...

...supposed to start late tonight*

On Earthnull you can see the storm forming.

The Coastal Low.

The pieces of the puzzle coming together.

How and where and when they interact...

... is what makes this forecast difficult.

Last frame of a loop....

...the Coastal Low shows up.

Forming....

..coming together.

*Bottom line here is we really do not know what will be until we see what will be and once all is said and done and it's deep into Sunday afternoon and the sun tries to show it's face again. We like to think we are getting perfect with forecasting, but y'all know that ain't so. There's literally a model somewhere that will show you what you want to see. That's why the snow totals are so wide and again in one area you the snow can be stolen by a "snow hole" and in another area you feel as if you had a historic storm. 

Stay safe. Hunker down. Don't assume you aren't getting snow because some snow hole is temporarily over you and you decide you need to get out for some reason and then the snow hole closes and your area ends up with 7 inches of snow or more and you may have been stuck on a highway where crashes happened because that happens in NC way too often.  Enjoy the beauty of a storm, time to do all those things you have been meaning to do around the house and hope and pray you don't lose electric!

Keep reading as the blog is still current and explains the many problems of forecasting this storm. 

Mitch did a LIVE broadcast this afternoon answering so many questions. First time he has done one, it was awesome. Your city most likely is mentioned as everyone asked on their city. Again, no forecast is exact it's just an estimate.

Thank you for reading and following along:

Noon on Friday...

An updated map with info for Raleigh area. 

Storm doesn't show up yet here...

..can see where it's about to show up.

Visible shows the elements.

The Southern part.

The Northern part.

Once they connect!

Game on!

Maybe will update images around 4 PM

See what we will see.

You can see the cold air pressing down.

The moisture flow that will feed...

...the coastal low that hasn't formed yet.

1st part of the blog is Carolinas, VA, GA

Further down are other areas that'll be impacted.

"Raleigh is in the Risky Zone.

"will depend on the Interaction

between the upper level low

and developing coastal low

5 - 10 inches"

The above is in quotes as that is what Allan Huffman says and I lean heavy on what he says as I live in Raleigh and have gotten to see first hand how incredibly accurate his maps are and well I take him seriously. Not sure if he will update later today or leave it as it is and either way we are getting closer to game on time. Sure he can be off a bit, but it's usually in shades of gray in that there's always a few details with a Carolina Snow Storm that can't be nailed down until the storm shows it's face.

Note he has parts of Virginia and Georgia in this map and that's because we really are one region broken up into separate states, but we are under the same blanket of snow falling to the ground. How strong and how steady and how much falls will tell the actual story. Will this be "wow what a real snow storm for Raleigh" or "historic" or will that tag go to places further East such as New Bern that's closer to the coast.

See this storm has many moving parts. There's a coastal low that is developing in real time and an upper level low inland. As readers of this blog know, I do so low tracking upper level lows as they can be real game changers. In this case you have two parts of a storm that will have dance moves similar to a Fujiwhara effect yet not really. And somewhere the forecast will be busted and someone may get near blizzard like conditions and someone else ends up in the dreaded dry spot deprived of the heavier snow totals the forecast showed on the colorful maps on Wednesday. It happens. It's hard enough to predict a snow storm in detail with one low, let alone two lows swirling around the same dance floor. 

Yes, I did say "blizzard" conditions as the possibility is there that in some places a Blizzard Warning could be put out and again I said could as it all depends on what plays out in real time. The NWS has already mentioned blizzard conditions being possible. You don't hear that often around these parts.

Going beyond the Carolinas...

This is such a sad hit for Tennessee that is trying to recover from last week's Ice Storm and now will have areas hit by snow on top of what is dangling from the ice. 

This is a screenshot from my friend Mitch...

Honestly did not listen to it all.

I don't like my mind to be muddied...

...hearing others speak too much.

So that what I put out is my own.

But I wanted the map...

..knew he'd have it.

I live in the Carolinas. This is my blog, my personal weather diary and if you read it a long time then you know sometimes I would rant or be silly or annoyed and vent in my weather diary. These days I try and stay on weather and in the off season I talk more on what I want to vs when a Cat 3 Hurricane is about to do Rapid Intensification and go Cat 5 just before before landfall. Yes this is the off season for me, a time when I lose myself in the beauty of winter, praying for winter storms and following them online. So, excuse me, if I talk too long on the Carolinas currently in my off season. Well, we do get hurricanes too in the Carolinas. Another reason I love living in NC is that we have seasons of all kinds. Miami has football season, mango season, tourist season and Hurricane Season. And, yes I do go down to Miami often to see family and friends and Biscayne Bay but the Carolinas have finally come to feel like home after 16 years here!

Back to our snow storm. Tennessee is still without power in many places. The whole infrastructure was torn apart by the last storm that was more ice than snow. Now some places will have snow as well. A very hard hit in the realm of misery loves company. 

Above this general region will have impacts.

Even more so there's a coastal component.

Below the attention is on the coast.

This part of the storm is big.

This area is under the gun.

I use that phrase rarely.

Snow totals can be high.

Beach impacts will be high.

Ice hopefully not.

Maybe a drop of sleet.

Wind so strong it'll feel like...

..a Blizzard.

This storm is bigger than the Carolinas.

Bigger than Virginia.

Bigger than Georgia.

Florida has it's own impacts.

Sliver of a chance for Gulf Snow...

And our mountains get snow...

...ya know how that goes.

Elevation always matters.

Freezing cold temps in other places.

In the Super Storm of 1993...

FL was lashed with wicked, gale force winds.

Wild surf, beach erosion.

Yes Baltimore was buried in snow...

...but dangerous weather is dangerous.

With or without snow

Watching the beaches here for blizzard conditions.

NWS INFO for OBX

Yes out on the Outer Banks...

..they will have Tropical Storm winds Saturday.

Gusts near hurricane force.

Moving on down I-95 South..

Savannah could get snow.

That's really rare.

Almost moved there a while back...

...didn't work out but lack of snow ate at me.

But I do love that city.

My family has a very old history there ....

I worry on the hanging moss freezing...

...falling down again.

I love hanging moss........

As for "Up North" 

Well it does snow in NY

It snows up the way.

But this is a coastal low...

...so beaches especially in it.

Lakewood NJ below

Not what we think of as beach wxr!

Stay informed.

Stay aware.

Stay prepared.

That really is all I can say now.

The time for debating a forecast is done.

Winter Storm Warnings in place!

Lastly, many had problems finding winter storm supplies for this storm as all the supplies were bought out for the Ice Storm scenario last week and even their suppliers do not have the supplies. The huge geographic area impacted means that the local hardware stores can't get "Ice Melt" because their own suppliers are out as this is the second storm in the pattern. DaBuh always says the second storm in a set is the worst one, let's see if he's right when it comes to winter weather not just surf and hurricane weather.

As for me I'm nibbling on one of the last cookies we bought at Trader Joes for last week's storm and we bought new stuff last night for this weekend's storm. Eggs were gone, I could not find any though I have left from last week. Bread was mostly out. You know how the story goes .

Winter finally showed up in the Carolinas  this year and I am not complaining. Well not yet. Let's see what we get on Saturday and hopefully the electric is on and we have way deep powdery snow. The reason I mention power problems is there are a lot of trees that had a light coating up to .33 inches of ice that did not fall down, but they have damaged limbs and are in a weakened state. The back yard still has some frozen sleet in icy patchwork patterns like a quilt and it's decorated with some young, healthy green pine "candles" lying on the ground as they snapped in the ice storm that did not take the tree but did bring down healthy but young, green needles. 

Stay safe. Stay inside.

Wind Chills of Zero are nothing to laugh about.

With prayers for everyone to stay safe. And for those who love snow I really hope you get so much snow. For those who hate snow... well sorry....you're reading the wrong blog.

Besos BobbiStorm

Enjoy the songs. I put in an old school and newer song. Can't find the song I wanted to put in here so will add it in later.... Lyrics were "two part harmony" and that reminded me of this two part winter storm.  Some people do so love piano so going with this song that's good for our upcoming Valentines Day (will there be a Valentine's Day Blizzard this year I wonder???)  but I did enjoy the second one as well...

Loved Nat King Cole forever.

My mother used to listen to his music.

..she was an opera singer when young.

She knew music........

....the one below is fun, cute.

My mother and I were very different...

she was a singer I'm a dancer.

Both loved music :)

What did you expect 
Stuck in Colder Weather??

Maybe Sunday...

Stay safe and respect the power of the storm!
