The next couple of weeks are likely to feature multiple Arctic air outbreaks across the eastern half of the nation and even the state of Florida will be impacted (watch out iguanas). This kind of evolving pattern that features a major disruption of the polar vortex can certainly include some extreme cold during what is statistically speaking the coldest time of the year later in the month. This cold weather pattern will be quite active as well with multiple snow threats along the way for the Great Lakes, Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast US...and perhaps some snow this weekend in unusual places like the Southeast US.

Dry and mild weather is expected today across the metro region with plenty of sunshine and afternoon high temperatures not far from the 60-degree mark. It stays on the mild side through Thursday, but then the passage of a cold front will usher in a colder air mass for the end of the week.

After another mild day at mid-week, a colder and stormier pattern begins on Thursday with an increasing chance of widespread snow across the region. That snow could mix with rain at times during the day in the metro region but then can accumulate up to a couple of inches tonight before it winds down early Friday.

After another mild day here at mid-week, a colder and stormier pattern begins later Thursday with an increasing chance of widespread snow across the region. That snow could develop in the afternoon hours on Thursday and last all the way into Friday morning with accumulations expected not only for the mountains, but also the lower elevations. Temperatures will climb to the 50’s today, only reach the low-to-mid 40’s on Thursday, and then likely be confined to the 30’s on Friday.

The main weather story around here today will be the stiff winds from a west-to-southwest direction bringing us mild conditions and an elevated threat of wildfire activity. The overall pattern turns colder and more unsettled later in the week with the chance of snow; especially, in nearby higher elevation locations.

It has been persistently cold in the northeastern states from around Thanksgiving Day to the present time with the month of December being observed as the coldest since 2010 in many spots including Washington, D.C. and New York City. A warmer weather pattern is on the way, however, which will bring noticeably milder conditions to the region in the Wednesday through Saturday time period. The peak in temperatures will come on Friday and Saturday for the northeastern states, but both of those will feature some rainfall dampening the mood a bit. The next strong cold front looks like it’ll arrive in the eastern states late on Saturday, and its passage will reverse the warmer trend by the time we get to the second half of the upcoming weekend and the early part of next week.

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.
