Good morning! It’s Wednesday, January 29, 2025, and here’s your daily weather update. Get ready because a big storm is making its way across the U.S. this week, bringing everything from heavy snow to flooding and even severe thunderstorms.
Let’s break it down.
A slow-moving storm is expected to bring snow to Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado, making travel tough in those areas. So, if you’re planning to be on the road, keep an eye on the weather updates. Meanwhile, the South is in for some rough weather starting Wednesday, with heavy rain, thunderstorms, and the risk of flooding.
By the weekend, the storm will make its way toward the Northeast, bringing rain and snow.
Speaking of the Northeast, things are already pretty intense there. A fast-moving weather system, known as a clipper system, brought dangerous snow squalls overnight. These squalls have created whiteout conditions, making driving extremely risky. Right now, Snow Squall Warnings are in place for around 1.6 million people across Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. If you’re heading out, be extra careful, as roads could turn hazardous in an instant.
Now, here’s something you don’t see every day—falling iguanas in Florida! Yes, you read that right. Last week, in Miami Beach, home security footage captured a large iguana dropping from a tree and hitting the ground with a loud thud. The reason? It got too cold!
South Florida saw temperatures dip into the 30s and 40s, and when the temperature drops below 50 degrees for too long, iguanas go into a sort of cold shock. They appear frozen and sometimes lose their grip, causing them to tumble from trees. The good news is that most of these iguanas recover once it warms up.
That’s all for today’s weather update. Stay safe, stay warm, and keep an eye on the forecast as this storm moves across the country.
