The new year will start off on the mild side, and the dry, mild weather pattern will last right through the upcoming weekend. Temperatures are likely to peak in the middle and upper 50’s during the next couple of days and near the 60-degree on both days this weekend.

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.

The big weather story around here will be the continuation of our recent warm and dry weather pattern for the next few days with afternoon highs well up in the 60’s. It does turn colder by the weekend, but temperatures will still be in the moderate zone with highs on Saturday and Sunday near the 50-degree mark.

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.

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.

Mild and dry weather will continue for another with afternoon highs in the 60’s to go along with some sunshine. It remains on the mild side into the mid-week with the 60’s likely again for highs on Wednesday afternoon and then chillier air pushes into the area late Wednesday night and Thursday.

An unseasonably mild and dry day to start the new work week with afternoon highs in the 60’s to go along with some sunshine. It remains on the mild side into the mid-week with the 60’s likely again for highs on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons.

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.
