An Accuweather forecast predicts a 10-20% chance of snow flurries in the Florida panhandle next week. Here's how cold it has to get for snow to form.

The Florida Panhandle could see a brief period of snow or ice next week, if the right conditions combine. Bottom line: Cold temps coming.

At least 6 inches of snow has been reported in parts of the Florida panhandle, surpassing the record of 4 inches set in 1954. The record snowfall comes as a significant winter storm is sweeping across parts of the Gulf Coast, including the Florida Panhandle.

An arctic air mass will channel temperatures 20-30 degrees below already historically cold January averages. The South braced for a rare winter storm.

Florida and Texas were both under winter storm warning from the National Weather Service (NWS) on Tuesday morning as an arctic air mass caused plunging temperatures and heavy snow along the Gulf Coast.

New snow accumulation totals are being set across the Gulf states as a winter storm makes it way across the Deep South.

A strong cold front this weekend will bring temperatures in the 20s to Northwest Florida. The question mark is the possibility of storms.
