Two tornadoes were reported today in Florida, as several HP supercells moved through the area ahead of a strong cold front. Both tornadoes touched down in north-central Florida between 19 and 20 UTC, producing minor tree and structural damage. Meanwhile, the storm system responsible for the Florida tornadoes is producing very heavy snowfall and strong winds over New England, with significant northerly-flow lake effect across the Great Lakes Region.
Here is a radar loop from Northwest Indiana during 03-05 UTC showing a textbook single-band lake effect event off southern Lake Michigan. These single bands are formed from mesoscale convergence over the lake as faster, more veered flow meets the relatively backed flow from the land. The faster flow over the relatively "frictionless" lake surface curves slightly more to the right due to increased Coriolis Force relative to the land. The orientation of the resulting lake effect snow band depends on the wind direction in the low- to mid-levels of the atmosphere.

Lol, it didn't look lik it was going to stop snowing last night (though it finally did) but now we're in a Snow Advisory and they're saying up to 1 inch will be common
On another note, has anyone seen the day 5/6 outlooks?
