Arctic air is now sliding into the northern US from western Canada and this cold air outbreak will likely become big weather news in coming days as it spreads across the nation. Indeed, the Arctic air will push all the way south to the Lower Rio Grande Valley region of Texas over the next few days and much colder air will advance eastward to the east coast by the end of the upcoming weekend. Another big weather story will be the next powerful storm system that will generate a blizzard for much of the Midwest and Great Lakes region and more heavy rain and strong winds for the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast US. The large storm and intense cold will indeed play a role in NFL playoff games this weekend with Kansas City likely near 0 degrees at game time on Saturday evening and Buffalo’s game on Sunday afternoon could feature heavy lake-effect snow bands and very high winds.

Intensely cold air is dropping out of western Canada and into the northern US and it will push into Colorado for the weekend. Temperatures today will peak in the 20’s today and then the 30’s on Friday, but they will be hard pressed to escape single digits on both Saturday and Sunday. Low temperatures this weekend are very likely to drop to well below zero and adding more in the way of discomfort, there will be chances for snow each day this weekend and winds will be strong creating dangerously low wind chill values.

Intense cold will makes its way from western Canada and into the US during the next couple of days and will works its way to Colorado this weekend. The overall pattern remains active and there are additional chances of snow into the upcoming weekend. However, the bigger weather story around here will be the influx of bitter cold Arctic air that might result in overnight lows of below zero during the upcoming weekend.

A powerful storm system will bring heavy rainfall and increasingly strong winds to the Mid-Atlantic region and Northeast US this afternoon and tonight leading to localized flooding and unfortunately, numerous power outages are on the table. The grounds are well-saturated from recent heavy rain events and today’s storm can add another 2 or 3 inches with isolated higher amounts possible. Winds can gust to 55 or 60 mph along the interior sections of the I-95 corridor with even higher amounts along coastal sections of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast US. As a result, trees, limbs and power lines will be quite vulnerable leading to the fear that power outages can become widespread.
Another powerful storm system can bring heavy rain and strong winds to the Mid-Atlantic region and Northeast US on Friday night and this second system will usher in much colder air for the latter part of the weekend and early part of next week. In fact, there will be some intense cold this weekend dropping southward from Canada into the US and some of this air will trek south and east reaching the eastern seaboard later in the weekend. A third storm system threatens the eastern states early-to-mid next week and this time snow will be on the table in the I-95 corridor given the expected preceding influx of Arctic air.

An active weather pattern continues this week across the western US and much of the nation. The start of the work week featured windy, cold conditions with some snow and blowing snow and there will be additional chances of snow over the next few days. In addition, intensely cold air is likely to drop southward this weekend from Canada and into the western US and this may result in some bitter cold conditions around here.

An active weather pattern continues this week across the western US and much of the nation. The start of the work week will be highlighted with lingering snow in the metro region and very windy conditions with the blowing snow reducing visibility in many spots. The weather settles down some by later today and tonight, but temperatures will drop to very cold levels in the middle teens. The second half of the week looks quite unsettled with additional shots of snow and persistent winds. In addition, some intensely cold air will drop southward from western Canada into the northwestern states in coming days and we’ll have to monitor the prospects for its impact here in the Rocky Mountain States.

The overall pattern remains quite active across the nation and they’ll be additional shots at snow around here going well into next week. A weak system can produce some light snow this evening and then a stronger can generate some accumulating snow from later Sunday into Monday. Finally, there may be a third system to deal with by the middle of next week. Looking ahead, there is the chance that some bitter cold air drops southward from Canada into the western US by the end of next week or subsequent weekend.

A weak system will push across the western states today bringing a chance of light snow here during the afternoon and evening and there can be residual snow showers on Friday morning as we close out the work week. Another and potentially stronger low pressure system is destined to reach us by the latter part of the weekend likely producing some snow around here with accumulations on the table.

The active weather pattern of recent days will continue during the next couple of weeks across the eastern half of the nation…and that may be quite an understatement. One storm system will impact the Mid-Atlantic region this weekend with wintry precipitation favoring accumulations across the interior and likely a mixture in the big cities along I-95. Another storm system will impact a large part of the eastern half of the nation in the Tuesday/Wednesday time frame of next week and this one looks like a powerhouse. It is likely to feature very heavy rainfall, interior accumulating snows, and potentially damaging winds with power outages on the table. If that isn’t enough, there may be a couple of more systems to deal with in the eastern half of the nation by the time we get through the mid-point of January.

Today will be another quiet one across the region, but an active southern branch of the jet stream will bring us a couple chances of snow in coming days. One (weak) system will push across the western states on Thursday bringing a chance of light snow tomorrow afternoon and evening and another one and potentially stronger one is destined to reach us by the late weekend or early part of next week. It’ll turn colder behind that second storm system with highs on Monday afternoon likely confined to the 20’s and lows early Tuesday morning around 10 degrees.
