Winds will diminish somewhat but still be strong during the weekend. It now appears that we may see some light snow on Christmas morning as a weak disturbance moves through. A stronger system next Wednesday and Thursday may give the area accumulating snow so stay tuned.. Just a note that South Florida has freeze warnings issued for tonight.
