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.

It stays quite mild around here right through the week with temperatures soaring to well above normal levels of late December. In fact, Christmas Day (Thursday) is likely to feature afternoon temperatures peaking in the low-to-mid 70’s and there will likely be plenty of sunshine to go along with the unusual warmth.

It stays relatively mild here at mid-week and then a cold front will approach later Thursday. That front can bring shower and thunderstorm activity to the area on Thursday afternoon and evening before cooler air returns for the end of the week.

It won’t be as cold today as recent days with high pressure pushing off to the east of here and opening the door for a low-level (milder) southerly flow of air. It stays relatively mild at mid-week and then a cold front will approach later Thursday. That front can bring shower and thunderstorm activity to the area on Thursday afternoon and evening before cooler air returns for the end of the week.

A chilly start to the new work week, but milder weather is on the way. Today’s high temperatures will be confined to the lower 40’s, but we’ll likely reach the 60’s by Thursday ahead of the next cold front. That front can bring shower and thunderstorm activity to the area later Thursday and Thursday night before cooler air returns for the end of the week.

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.

The cold pattern that has brought relentless cold in recent days from Alaska to the Mid-Atlantic region will continue for at least another week or so. The new work week begins with some frigid air in the eastern states and overnight lows in the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor will drop to their lowest levels of the season so far. “Clipper” low pressure systems will swing cold fronts through the northeastern states during the next few days limiting any chance for a sustained warmup. One “clipper” can bring rain, ice and/or snow to the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast US at mid-week and a second system can bring a touch of snow in the late week. Over the weekend, low pressure may ride along the Arctic boundary zone, and this system could bring some accumulating snow to the Mid-Atlantic region to go along with the well below-normal temperatures that should last into the early part of next week.
