The Arctic air mass that brought frigid temperatures to the region this past weekend has modified and Pacific Ocean air is on the march from west-to-east. Our warming trend will intensify to bring us temperatures to near 60 degrees by Thursday and then into the 60’s for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The warm up will become increasingly moist as well and showers are is likely here by the end of the week and during the weekend.

The Arctic air mass that brought frigid temperatures to the region the past few days will retreat and milder air from the Pacific is headed in this direction. In fact, the warm up intensifies by later in the week so that temperatures around here will climb towards the 60 degree mark on Thursday and Friday and then into the 60’s this weekend. The warm up will become increasingly moist as well and rain is likely here by the end of the week.

Buckle up…the next 36 hours or so in the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast US will feature some wild and crazy weather to include the following:
-heavy rain including thunderstorms
-localized flash flooding
-a surge in temperatures to the 50’s
-extreme plunge in temperatures to the single digits
-flash-freeze
-a burst of snow with small accumulations
-powerful and potentially damaging wind gusts
All of this weather can take place between about noon today and midnight tomorrow night headlined by a soaking rain event into early Friday and then the arrival of an intensely cold Arctic air mass later Friday morning.

The strong Arctic frontal system that represents the leading edge of an intensely cold air mass will reach the Huntsville region later tonight. It’ll stay mild through the day with rain showers possible and then the bottom will fall out with temperatures post frontal passage plunging all the way to single digits by Friday morning. Snow showers are possible late tonight and winds will be very strong adding to potential difficult travel conditions. A frigid weekend will follow with Christmas Eve (Saturday) and Christmas Day (Sunday) the coldest in many years in much of the eastern half of the nation.

The core of an intensely cold Arctic air mass is now getting ready to plunge southward to Texas by later tomorrow and then it’ll shift to the eastern states on Friday. Numerous low temperature records are likely to be set over the next couple of days as this air mass makes its way across the nation. Blizzard conditions will accompany this advancing Arctic air outbreak over much of the eastern half of the country with the Great Lakes region likely to experience some of the worst weather with an extended period of extreme conditions from Friday into late weekend.
The powerful Arctic frontal system that represents the leading edge of this intensely cold air mass will reach the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor during the late morning/mid-day on Friday. Temperatures will drop dramatically in the wake of the frontal passage some 30+ degrees in a short period of time. Any wet spots on roadways from prior rainfall could freeze-up in a hurry. There will be very strong wind gusts on Friday and a burst of snow is likely immediately behind the frontal passage that can produce a quick coating to an inch or two. A frigid weekend will follow with Christmas Eve (Saturday) and Christmas Day (Sunday) the coldest in many years across much of the eastern half of the nation. Single digits are likely in many spots along the I-95 corridor both on Saturday and Sunday mornings.

The core of an intensely cold Arctic air mass will drop southward towards Texas during the next 24-48 hours. After that, the Arctic air mass will shift to the east and reach the eastern seaboard by late Friday. Numerous low temperature records are likely to be set over the next few days; especially, in the central US from the Canadian border to the Mexican border. Blizzard conditions will accompany this advancing Arctic air outbreak over many sections of the country with the Great Lakes region likely to experience some of the worst weather with an extended period of extreme conditions from Friday into much of the upcoming weekend.
The strong Arctic frontal system that represents the leading edge of this intensely cold air mass will likely reach the Huntsville region on Thursday. The passage of the powerful Arctic front will not go unnoticed around here. On the table will be plunging temperatures on the order of 25 or 30 degrees in a short period of time, powerful and potentially damaging wind gusts, a possible “flash-freeze”, and even a burst of snow that can put down a quick small accumulation. A frigid weekend will follow with Christmas Eve (Saturday) and Christmas Day (Sunday) the coldest in many years in much of the eastern half of the nation.

The core of an intensely cold Arctic air mass is now penetrating the northwest and north-central parts of the nation, and it will drop southward towards Texas during the next 48 hours. After that, the Arctic air mass will shift to the east and reach the eastern seaboard by late Friday. Numerous low temperature records are likely to be set over the next few days; especially, in the central US from the Canadian border to the Mexican border.

A major Arctic air outbreak has reached the interior northwest and north-central states and it will become quite a newsworthy event in coming days as it drops southward to Texas by later this week. Numerous low temperature records are likely to be set over the next few days in the central US all the way from the Canadian border to the Mexican border. The Arctic air mass will then begin a push to the east on Thursday and it’ll reach the Tennessee valley on Thursday night. After a mild day, temperatures could plunge by more than 30 degrees on Thursday night in the wake of the Arctic frontal passage and snow showers will be possible.

A major Arctic air outbreak has reached the interior northwest and north-central states and it will become quite a newsworthy event in coming days. This widespread and intensely cold Arctic air mass will drop southward to Texas by later Thursday and then shift to the east on Friday reaching the eastern seaboard by Friday night. Numerous low temperature records are likely to be set over the next few days; especially, in the central US from the Canadian border to the Mexican border.
At the leading edge of the Arctic air mass will be a powerful surface frontal system that will be very active as it crosses the Great Lakes/Midwest/Ohio Valley from west-to-east. This Arctic front will produce blizzard conditions from the Plains all the way to the Appalachians as it treks west-to-east during the next few days. The powerful Arctic front is likely to arrive in the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor region on Friday afternoon and its passage could be quite dramatic.
Winds will be very strong and potentially damaging for much of the day on Friday in the Mid-Atlantic region both ahead of the Arctic front (S-SE direction) and behind it (W-NW direction)…not a good time for inflatable outdoor decorations. Temperatures will plunge as plunge as much as 25 or 30 degrees behind the front in just a couple of hours from the mild 50’s in the morning to the 20’s by day’s end. This sharp drop in temperatures can result in a “flash freeze” of any lingering wet spots on roadways from prior rainfall.
In addition, a burst of snow is possible immediately following the frontal passage which can even put down small accumulations in some spots as the Arctic air pours into the region in a still very unstable atmosphere. Christmas Eve (Saturday) and Christmas Day (Sunday) will be very cold throughout the eastern US with some of the coldest weather conditions for these two days in many years. Single digits are on the table in suburbs along the I-95 corridor both on Saturday and Sunday (Christmas) mornings.

A record-breaking Arctic air outbreak will blast into the US this week. The core of the frigid air will drop southeastward into Montana/North Dakota on Monday and drop southward to Texas by later in the week. The Arctic cold will then spread east-northeastward into the Tennessee Valley by late Thursday or Thursday night. On the heels of the frontal passage, there can be snow shower activity on Friday, powerful winds and frigid cold to last into Christmas weekend.
