Fire weather

The extremely dry weather could help ignite and propagate fires. Relative humidity will be below 25% and the winds will be from the northwest between 10-15 mph Wednesday. Any fires that develop could spread quickly. Make sure to dispose cigarettes correctly and limit activities that involve fires, or that can initiate a spark. Red flag warning is in effect for Orange and Seminole Counties until until Wednesday evening. 

Another Nor'easter.

The same front that swept across Central Florida is attached to a low pressure system traveling northward, bordering the mid-Atlantic states and reaching New England by tonight. The nor'easter will bring blizzard conditions to Cape Cod and other areas surrounding Boston, where they can expect 10-18 inches of wet, heavy snow. Winter storms warnings are in effect from Long Island, New York through Maine, snow accumulations could ready up to 15 inches with localized amounts of 18 inches in some places where bands set up for longer periods.
