Greetings from the FOX Weather Daily Report! Today is Friday, February 21, 2025. Begin your day fully informed about the current weather conditions. Stay updated with the FOX Weather Update podcast for national, regional, and local weather updates at your convenience.
As we delve into Friday, we face the culmination of an extraordinary arctic surge that has enveloped the central United States in an icy grip. While certain regions are granted a brief respite from the extreme cold witnessed earlier in the week, subzero wind chills persist, extending from the northern frontier down to the Gulf Coast. Over 80 areas are now bracing themselves for potentially record-breaking low temperatures and sub-zero wind chills, with some encountering their most frigid late-season readings on record.
The countdown has begun. We stand just 100 days away from the commencement of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season. Officially commencing on June 1 and continuing through November 30, the season’s parameters are defined, yet tropical activity may still manifest outside these dates due to conducive conditions, with less than 3% of systems typically forming beyond the six-month window.
Following days of concentrated lake-effect snowfall, numerous localities in upstate New York find themselves blanketed in feet of fresh powder. The weight of this snow has proven overwhelming, leading to roof collapses in several buildings across Oneida and Oswego counties. Drone footage captured by Corbin Pritchard reveals the aftermath, including a barn collapse in Taberg, Oneida County, a partially collapsed bowling alley in Camden, and structural damage at the International Wire facility in Williamstown.
Point Rock, New York, has received nearly 60 inches of snowfall from Sunday through Thursday, as documented by the National Weather Service in Binghamton.
