  • USDA SBR forecast, issued 12/3 For 12-6-8 -- A passing trough will usher some very chilly air southward on Saturday. Despite the cooler air, high pressure at the surface will bring mostly sunny skies to the South.
    Risk Area: Transport will be greatest along the eastern seaboard with mid-level flow towards the northeast. Deposition is highly unlikely in most areas, except a scattered shower is possible in North-Central Florida early Saturday. Cold (freezing to below freezing) night time temperatures will continue to be possible across most of the Southeast with the exception of Florida and southern Texas.
