Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow this morning suggesting there will be six more weeks of winter, and I certainly have faith in all Pennsylvania prognosticators. One thing is for sure...the next 7 days will feature more in the way of well below-normal temperatures, and the upcoming weekend will be bitterly cold across the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast US with a direct discharge of Arctic air from eastern Canada. The Arctic front at the leading edge of this brutally cold air mass can produce snow showers and squalls on Friday, and powerful winds will add to the misery on both weekend days. The big cities from DC-to-Boston will likely experience single digit lows once again during the weekend and wind chills will be at dangerously low levels on both days.

It remains quite cold around here today and it will for the rest of the week and then intensely cold air is destined to arrive for the upcoming weekend. The pattern becomes somewhat active as well with a couple chances of snow in the Mid-Atlantic region. Weak low pressure will push across the area with some snow from Tuesday night into early Wednesday…small accumulations are likely on the order of a coating to an inch or two. Later in the week, a strong clipper system and its associated cold front can bring snow showers to the area later Friday…perhaps even a snow squall. That clipper system will usher in another brutally cold Arctic air mass to the Mid-Atlantic region for the first full weekend of February with strong winds adding to the misery.

It remains brutally cold around here today with temperatures struggling to make it past the upper teens for afternoon highs and overnight lows again will fall to single digits in most areas. The bitter cold conditions continue through the weekend in the Mid-Atlantic region and will extend all the way down to southern Florida where Sunday morning temperatures could be near freezing in Miami. Another big story will be the the explosive cyclogenesis that’ll take place as the central pressure of a low-pressure system drops dramatically between later Saturday and early Sunday. Low pressure will move near the Carolina coastline by later Saturday and then it’ll get juiced up by the phasing of a northern stream wave of energy and a southern wave. The biggest impact from this weekend storm will likely be across southern Virginia, the Carolinas, and eastern New England can get hit hard as well...all locations with snow and strong winds. The DC metro region will not go completely unscathed as winds will pick up noticeably from later Saturday into Sunday and there can be some snow across eastern sections.

It remains brutally cold around here today with temperatures struggling to make it past the middle teens for afternoon highs and overnight lows will fall to near zero in many areas. In fact, this could set a record for the lowest high temperature ever recorded on this date besting the record of 18 degrees set in 1965 at Philly Airport. The bitter cold conditions continue through the weekend in the Mid-Atlantic region and will extend all the way down to southern Florida where Sunday morning temperatures could be near freezing in Miami. In addition to the continuing cold, a big weather story will be the explosive cyclogenesis that’ll take place as the central pressure of a low-pressure system drops dramatically between later Saturday and early Sunday. Low pressure will move near the Carolina coastline by later Saturday and then it’ll get juiced up by the phasing of a northern stream wave of energy and a southern wave. The biggest impact from this weekend storm will likely be across southern Virginia, the Carolinas, and eastern New England can get hit hard as well...all locations with snow and strong winds. The Philly metro region will not go completely unscathed as winds will pick up noticeably from later Saturday into Sunday and there can be some snow across far eastern sections.

The bitter cold weather pattern continues across the eastern states during the next few days with significant impacts reaching all the way down to southern Florida. In fact, the temperature will drop to near freezing in Miami by Sunday morning and zero-degree overnight lows are on the table during the next couple of nights in the Mid-Atlantic’s I-95 corridor. In addition to the cold, there will be explosive cyclogenesis this weekend near the east coast with biggest impacts from storm system likely to be across portions of Virginia, the Carolinas, and eastern New England as well. The I-95 region from DC-to-Philly-to-NYC will not go unscathed with a noticeable increase in winds from later Saturday into Sunday and there can be some snow with small accumulations on the table.

It remains brutally cold around here for the next couple of days with afternoon high temperatures generally confined to the teens and overnight lows likely in the lower-to-middle single digits in many locations. As far as the weekend storm is concerned, low pressure will develop near the Carolina coastline by later Saturday and then intensify dramatically as it moves to the northeast later in the weekend. The biggest impact from this weekend storm will be across southern Virginia, North Carolina, and likely across eastern New England as well. Around here, the winds will become a noticeable factor this weekend and there is the chance for some snow from later Saturday night into Sunday…accumulations cannot be ruled out.
