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.

7:00 AM | ****An extreme wind event is in the offing for today with hurricane-force gusts possible along the foothills and east-facing mountains****

Paul Dorian

An extreme wind event is in store for the foothills and east-facing mountains today with gusts past 55 mph or so. In fact, the ingredients are there for even higher wind gusts in some spots that can reach hurricane-force levels. Locally strong winds will likely spread into the wind-favored lower elevations later today as well. Another high wind event is in the offing for late Wednesday night and early Thursday morning along the Front Range mountains.
