****Significant winter storm for the Mid-Atlantic...substantial icing for some areas...lowest temperature in Canada since 1999 was recorded on Monday...an important cold air source region****

Paul Dorian

While the nation’s mid-section enjoys rarely ever-seen sustained warmth for the next few days, the northeastern states will continue to experience plenty of winter weather right into the early part of January. One system is bringing some accumulating snow today to the northern Mid-Atlantic region and Northeast US and some interior higher elevation locations will receive several inches. Another storm system is likely to threaten the Mid-Atlantic region and Northeast US on Friday with significant accumulating snow in some areas and substantial icing in others. A key player at the end of the week will be a strong high-pressure system over southeastern Canada which will act as an anchor for low-level Arctic air that can lead to frozen precipitation throughout the Mid-Atlantic region and Northeast US.

Looking ahead to next week, the winter weather pattern is likely to continue across the northeastern states with two major-league Arctic air outbreaks on the table. Both of these Arctic air masses will have originated up across the northwestern part of Canada where temperatures on Monday morning bottomed out at -67.7°F... reportedly the lowest temperature in Canada since January 1999…in other words, get ready, next week’s Arctic invasions might be quite noteworthy.

6:00 AM | ***Another very windy day across the region with 50+ mph gusts on the table...sustained warm pattern coming to the central US and Rocky Mountain States***

Paul Dorian

The big story today will be another round of very strong down sloping winds which can gust to 50 mph in the metro region and foothills. It will be warm today with afternoon highs near the 70-degree mark and then cooler on Saturday and Sunday. The overall pattern going forward looks warmer-than-normal across the central US and Rocky Mountain States with sustained above-normal temperatures.

6:00 AM | ***Potential damaging wind gusts today***

Paul Dorian

The big story today will be the very strong downsloping winds which can gust into the 50-60 mph range in the metro region and even higher than that near the base of the foothills. It will be cooler on Thursday and not as windy following the late-night passage of a frontal system that can produce some rain and/or snow shower activity.

****”Clippers” galore...Friday system weakens, but can produce snow in DC, VA...potential of accumulating snow this weekend in Mid-Atlantic with the most impressive system...a major Arctic blast****

Paul Dorian

The next several days will feature multiple “clipper” low pressure systems across the northern US which are typically rather quick movers from northwest-to-southeast. One such system will track well to the north and west of the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor later today bringing windy and slightly milder conditions to the I-95 corridor along with the threat of a few rain showers. A second “clipper” system will push towards the Mid-Atlantic region on Friday from the Ohio Valley. While this system may begin to weaken upon its approach, it can still produce some snow on Friday in parts of the Mid-Atlantic region including the DC metro and parts of Virginia (a hot spot so far this winter season for snowfall).

Over the weekend, yet another “clipper” system will push east-southeast towards the Mid-Atlantic region from the Ohio Valley, and this one will feature some strong support in the upper atmosphere with a vigorous jet streak. As a result, this is the most impressive to me of all of these “clipper” systems with the highest potential of producing accumulating snow in the Mid-Atlantic region (late Saturday into early Sunday). One final note, the Arctic blast that reaches the north-central US by early this weekend and then the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast US by early next week will feature some of the coldest air yet in this relentless cold weather pattern that began around Thanksgiving Day. Temperatures can drop to twenty degrees below zero by Sunday morning across a wide portion of the Upper Midwest from Minnesota-to-Iowa-to-Wisconsin.
