The FOX Forecast Center is closely monitoring the development of the nation’s next significant storm system, which could produce feet of snow across portions of the Southwest and Plains, while severe weather could rock parts of the Southeast and Gulf Coast that were recently slammed by a historic blizzard.

Showers and storms are moving in to the area late tonight along a front that will quickly move through Acadiana. Clouds will be locked in once again ahead of the system and winds will be picking up from the south. Those gusty winds will create a warm, muggy air mass and will build the energy that storms will tap into later on tonight.

Right now, the Aloha State is facing relatively rare severe weather along with some snow. It may strike you as odd, but, Hawaii rarely experiences hurricanes, severe weather or even thunderstorms. It all has to do with the island chain’s latitude and location in the Pacific Ocean.
