Discussion
Our relentless Arctic cold weather will continue right through next week and the worst may be yet to come. Arctic high pressure dominates the scene across the eastern two-thirds of the nation and this will be the case for many more days. A clipper system will drop southeastward into our area by Saturday and it can produce some accumulating snow in the Mid-Atlantic region. This clipper system will usher in a fresh Arctic air mass for Sunday, Monday and Tuesday which will be an extremely cold period for much of the country. A bigger snow threat looms for the middle of next week as a storm may ride up the east coast.
