Discussion
The big story of the week will be the Arctic blast that arrives late tomorrow and it should result in one of the coldest Thanksgiving Days ever for much of the Mid-Atlantic region and Northeast US. Temperatures tomorrow night should drop to near the 20 degree mark for overnight lows and then will struggle on Thursday to escape the 20’s (coldest Turkey Day ever in Philly was in 1901 when the high was just 27 degrees). The Arctic cold air mass will begin to lift out by the early part of the weekend at which time moisture will be pushing in this direction from the Gulf of Mexico region.
