The next in a series of Arctic air outbreaks will plunge into the north-central states on Thursday and it’ll swallow up much of the eastern two-thirds of the nation by the upcoming weekend. This next Arctic outbreak will be the real deal featuring some extremely cold air, and it’ll set the stage for widespread impacts this weekend by a major storm system. A crippling ice event is on the table for many in the Texas-to-Virginia corridor, and a significant snowfall in other areas including the Mid-Atlantic region. Following the storm, brutal cold is likely across much of the nation including in the Mid-Atlantic region where morning lows may be pretty amazing indeed during the first half of next week.

The next couple of weeks will feature some of the worst weather winter has to offer with bitter cold conditions at times and a major storm system that can bring a crippling ice event to some areas this weekend and significant snowfall to others. After another day with below-normal temperatures here at mid-week, it’ll turn milder on Thursday, but that warmup will be for a brief time only.
Another Arctic outbreak will spread south to Texas and east to the coast at the end of the week and this air mass will feature some incredible cold across the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest with 30 degrees below zero in some spots. By the end of the week, moisture will be gathering across the south-central states. As this moisture pushes to the north and east, it will encounter this very cold air mass, and the result will be a crippling ice event in many southern states, and significant accumulating snow farther to the north including in the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor.

The next couple of weeks will feature some of the worst weather winter has to offer with bitter cold conditions and a major storm system that can bring a crippling ice event to some areas this weekend and significant snowfall to others. The coldest core of the current Arctic air outbreak has reached the Mid-Atlantic region, and temperatures are likely to bottom out later tonight in the single digits across many suburban locations along the I-95 corridor. There will be a temporary modification in temperatures on Thursday in the Mid-Atlantic region and then another Arctic air mass will push in for the upcoming weekend. This late week/weekend blast will feature some incredible cold with temperatures as low as 30 degrees below zero in portions of the Upper Midwest/Northern Plains, and more bitter cold is a likelihood in the Mid-Atlantic region during the upcoming weekend. By the end of the week, moisture will be gathering across the south-central states. As this moisture pushes to the north and east, it will encounter this very cold air mass, and the result will be icing across many southern states – potentially a crippling event - and significant accumulating snow farther to the north and this potentially includes the Mid-Atlantic region.

The core of the coldest air associated with the current Arctic outbreak moves into the Mid-Atlantic region today and temperatures here will struggle to pass the 20-degree mark (normal high is 39 degrees at Central Park). In addition, winds will be quite stiff from a northwesterly direction bringing wind chill values to below-zero from time-to-time. Temperatures later tonight could plunge to 10 degrees - levels not seen often around here – and then they’ll likely reach the lower 30’s by tomorrow afternoon. There will be a temporary modification in temperatures on Thursday and then another Arctic air mass will push in for the upcoming weekend.
By Friday night and Saturday, moisture will start gathering across the south-central states. As this moisture shield then heads to the north and east, it will encounter a very cold air mass having its origins in the Arctic region. As such, frozen precipitation will break out with significant - and potentially crippling - icing possible this weekend across many southern states. As the moisture field pushes farther to the north and east, snow will break out, and significant accumulations are on the table in the region from the Middle Mississippi Valley to the Tennessee Valley to the Mid-Atlantic region...buckle up, the next couple of weeks may feature the worst that winter has to offer.

The core of the coldest air associated with the current Arctic outbreak moves into the Mid-Atlantic region today and temperatures here will struggle to pass the 20-degree mark (normal high is 41 degrees at PHL). In addition, winds will be quite stiff from a northwesterly direction bringing wind chill values to below-zero from time-to-time. Temperatures later tonight could plunge to the middle single digits - levels not seen often around here – and then they’ll likely reach the middle 30’s by tomorrow afternoon.

The core of the coldest air associated with the current Arctic outbreak moves into the Mid-Atlantic region today and temperatures here will struggle reach the upper 20’s (normal high is 44 degrees at DCA). In addition, winds will be quite stiff from a northwesterly direction bringing wind chill values to below-zero from time-to-time. Temperatures later tonight could plunge to the middle teens and then they’ll likely reach the upper 30’s by tomorrow afternoon. There will be a temporary modification in temperatures on Thursday and then another Arctic air mass will push in for the upcoming weekend.

The next couple of weeks will feature multiple Arctic outbreaks...some incredible cold...and the likelihood of a major weekend winter storm that will impact a large part of the nation in a variety of ways. The core of the coldest air associated with the current Arctic outbreak reaches the Mid-Atlantic region for the period tonight, tomorrow, and tomorrow night and some suburban locations can see single digits lows by early Wednesday. There will be a temporary modification in temperatures on Thursday in the Mid-Atlantic region and then another Arctic air mass will push in for the upcoming weekend. This late week/weekend blast will feature some incredible cold with temperatures as low as 30 degrees below zero in portions of the Upper Midwest/Northern Plains, and bitter cold is a possibility in the Mid-Atlantic region during the upcoming weekend.
At the same time the next Arctic invasion swallows up the northern states, moisture will be gathering across the south-central states. As this moisture pushes to the north and east, it will encounter this very cold air mass, and the result could be icing across many southern states – potentially a crippling event - and significant accumulating snow to the north. There will likely be a very strong Arctic high pressure system over the Northeast US this weekend anchoring the bitter cold air mass in place and the extent to which the moisture field can penetrate north and east into the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast US will have to be better determined in coming days. Suffice to say, the potential is there for a big-time impact this weekend in the Mid-Atlantic region given the Arctic cold to the north and copious amounts of moisture to our south.

A very cold week is in store for the Mid-Atlantic region with the worst of the cold coming tonight, tomorrow, and tomorrow night with middle teens likely for overnight lows. Temperatures today will struggle to reach 40 degrees and a stiff wind will develop producing lower wind chills. Temperatures will modify briefly on Thursday with 45 degree highs back on the table, but another Arctic blast reaches us for the late week and weekend. Looking ahead, a major winter storm is likely to form across the southern states by the weekend and we will track it very closely this week to see how much impact it may have here in the Mid-Atlantic region…stay tuned, the potential is there for a big-time impact.
