Winds will be a big factor for the next couple of days with Arctic high pressure in control to go along with the continuing below-normal temperatures. Gusts can exceed 30 mph today from a northwesterly direction and potentially reach 40 mph on Thursday. Low pressure will form over the Gulf of Mexico later tomorrow and produce a lot of snow and ice for the southern states from Texas-to-Georgia over the next couple of days. It will head northeast towards the Mid-Atlantic coastal waters by the early part of the weekend and could produce some snow around here from late Friday night into Saturday morning…looking like a light event for us.

Gusts can exceed 30 mph today from a northwesterly direction and potentially reach 45 mph on Thursday.

Our cold and unsettled pattern will continue for the next several days with additional chances of snow (mostly on the light side) on Thursday, this weekend, and even early next week. Winds will become a factor as well on a couple of occasions later this week and again this weekend.

Very cold air has penetrated way down into the Deep South and it is going to set the stage for significant snow and ice across the southern US during the next couple of days. Low pressure is likely to form over the northwestern Gulf of Mexico later tomorrow and head slowly to the northeast bringing snow here from late tomorrow night through the morning hours on Friday. The snow can be heavy at times by Friday morning and it can mix with rain…several inches of snow accumulation are on the table (preliminary estimates of 3-6 inches). This system will push to the northeast of here by the early weekend ushering in a reinforcing cold air mass for the Tennessee Valley region.

This cold and active weather pattern threatens to produce another storm system later this week that can have an impact from the Deep South to the eastern seaboard. Low pressure will organize over the northwestern Gulf of Mexico later this week...much farther to the south compared to the most recent storm system which originated over the central Plains. As such, there can be an impact in the Deep South and including the potential of accumulating snow from Dallas-to-Little Rock-to-Memphis and a swath of disruptive ice from Texas to the Carolinas.
After that, the low pressure system likely heads towards the eastern seaboard and the exact track will be critical as well as the timing of its intensification along the coast in determining how much impact there can be in the Mid-Atlantic region and Northeast US. A rapid intensification of the surface low along the Mid-Atlantic coastline could mean significant accumulating snow in the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor from late Friday night into Saturday. However, if the system doesn’t intensify significantly until it passes to the north and east of the Mid-Atlantic region - the most likely scenario - then any snow would likely be on the light side.

The low pressure system that brought significant snow to the region on Monday is now well offshore and a reinforcing Arctic air mass has followed in its wake riding in on strong NW winds. Temperatures will do no better today for afternoon highs than around the 30 degree mark and strong winds of up to 40 mph will produce wind chill values in the single digits. High pressure dominates for the next few days providing us with some sunshine on a daily basis to go along with the below-normal temperatures and then we’ll have to monitor a southern storm system by the weekend to see if it can impact the area with some snowfall.

Some lingering snow this morning that can produce another 1-2 inches of accumulation and then skies should gradually clear later in the day. Under mainly clear skies tonight, temperatures will fall to some of the lowest levels so far this season bottoming out in the upper single digits in many spots. It stays quite cold across the region through the middle part of the week and then turns slightly milder late in the week.
