The milder conditions that developed yesterday across the region will continue today; however, the passage of a cold front will bring us a quick shot of very cold air overnight and into the day on Friday. The cold front will keep it quite unsettled around here today with a stiff wind and the chance of rain and/or snow showers. Temperatures will rebound again this weekend with highs reaching 50+ degrees by the time we get to Sunday and likely remain that high on Monday and Tuesday as well.

During the past couple of years, many spots along the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor have not had more than an inch of snow in any single event…that “snow drought” is about to end. In fact, there will likely be two accumulating snow events this week in the Mid-Atlantic region with the first one from later today into Tuesday likely resulting in a general 2-4 inch snowfall and there can be isolated higher amounts of 5 inches. The second accumulating snow event comes at week’s end and this one has the potential to produce significant snowfall amounts. This late week system will be followed by an Arctic blast for the upcoming weekend in the Mid-Atlantic region. Temperatures are likely to climb back to above-normal levels later next week, but Arctic outbreaks are destined to return to the central and eastern US during late January and February given the on-going stratospheric warming event over the northern hemisphere polar region.

Intensely cold air poured into the region this weekend and it will remain here today to start off the new week. Temperatures will struggle to climb above the zero degree mark and the winds will generate dangerously low wind chill values of well below zero. In addition to the bitter cold conditions, there will be periods of snow today that can accumulate on the order of 1-3 inches. Temperatures do moderate significantly by the middle and latter parts of the week and the upcoming weekend can have highs back to 50+ degrees.

Intensely cold air is headed this way for the weekend and temperatures are likely to bottom out well below zero for overnight lows by early tomorrow and early Sunday. To add to the winter misery, winds will be strong and wind chill values will remain at dangerously low levels all weekend long. In addition, snow showers will be possible at just about anytime from tonight into the late weekend and this will act to reduce visibility given the windy conditions. Moderation in temperatures will take place by the middle of next week, but additional Arctic air outbreaks are likely to impact the region down the road.

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.
