Very cold conditions will persist for a little while longer, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. Temperatures will do no better today than 20 degrees for afternoon highs and should plunge later tonight to near 10 degrees for overnight lows. It stays cold on Thursday, but then the chill will fade way, and temperatures may climb to 60+ degrees for highs by the early part of next week.

Low pressure is organizing over the northern Gulf coast this morning and it will then head in an east-northeast direction reaching the waters off the Carolina coastline by early tomorrow morning. From there, the low pressure system will continue on an east-northeast track on Thursday and undergo rapid intensification while out over the open waters of the western Atlantic Ocean. The DC metro region will be on the northern edge of this “southern stream” system today with some snow or snow shower activity likely during the afternoon hours. Small accumulations of a coating to an inch or so are likely; especially, in southern areas of the metro region…watch for slippery spots.
On Thursday, a vigorous wave of energy in the “northern stream” will pass right overhead of the Mid-Atlantic region and this will enhance upward motion and produce quite unstable conditions. As a result, there is likely to be additional snow or snow shower activity in the DC metro region on Thursday and small accumulations of a coating to an inch or so are again possible. On the heels of the low pressure, another windy and very cold day is coming to the Mid-Atlantic region on Friday, but temperatures should modify by the latter part of the weekend and the early part of next week.

Arctic high pressure dominates the scene over the eastern 2/3rds of the nation and will continue to do so for another couple of days. Low pressure is organizing this morning over the northern Gulf region and it can produce snow showers and some ice in the area through the morning hours and small snow/ice accumulations are possible. Temperatures will begin a warming trend on Friday climbing to near 40 degrees and 60+ degree highs will be possible around here by Monday afternoon.

Low pressure is organizing over the northern Gulf coast this morning and it will then head in an east-northeast direction reaching the waters off the Carolina coastline by early tomorrow morning. From there, the low pressure system will continue on an east-northeast track and undergo rapid intensification while out over the open waters of the western Atlantic. At the same time low pressure is intensifying rapidly off the coast on Thursday, a vigorous wave of energy in the northern jet stream will pass right overhead of the Mid-Atlantic region and this will enhance upward motion and produce quite unstable conditions. As a result, there is likely to be some snow or snow shower activity in the NYC metro region on Thursday afternoon and small accumulations of a coating to an inch or so are possible. On the heels of the low pressure, another windy and very cold day is coming to the Mid-Atlantic region on Friday, but temperatures should modify by the latter part of the weekend and the early part of next week.

Arctic chill dominates the scene today across much of the eastern two-thirds of the nation and will continue to do so during the next few days. Indeed, there were numerous daily low temperature records set this morning with a focus on the north-central states (e.g., Glasgow, MT; Bismarck, ND; Duluth, MN) where wind chills of 50 degrees below zero have been commonplace. In addition to the cold, the wintry pattern will result in a snowstorm during the next couple of days that will first hit the Middle Mississippi Valley region (e.g., northern Arkansas/southern Missouri) and then extend to the southern Mid-Atlantic region (e.g., southeastern VA, Delmarva Peninsula). There can even be some snow in the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor from later tomorrow into Thursday as low pressure intensifies off the coast and a northern stream upper-level low passes overhead creating an unstable environment...small accumulations are possible. Looking ahead, though temperatures will relax later this weekend into early next week, there are signs that additional Arctic cold air outbreaks will impact the central and eastern states as we close out the month of February and begin March.

Arctic high pressure dominates the scene over the eastern 2/3rds of the nation and will continue to do so for another few days. After a brief warm-up today, high temperatures will be reduced to the 30’s on Wednesday and no better than 30 degrees on Thursday. Overnight temperatures can drop to bitter cold levels of the low-to-middle teens by early Thursday morning across the northern part of Alabama.

Bitter cold conditions will stick around the region for another few days, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. Temperatures will do no better today than the lower 20’s for afternoon highs and should plunge later tonight into the low-to-middle single digits for overnight lows. It stays quite cold into the late week, but then the chill will fade way, and temperatures may climb to 60 degrees for highs later in the upcoming weekend.

Arctic high pressure will remain in control of our weather today resulting in well below-normal temperatures and stiff winds will produce even lower wind chill values. On Wednesday, low pressure will begin to organize near the northern Gulf coast and then it will head east-northeast reaching the waters off the Carolina coastline by early Thursday morning. From there, the low pressure system will likely continue on an east-northeast track taking its heaviest precipitation along with it to the south and east of the immediate I-95 corridor. While the heaviest and steadiest snow appears headed to the zone from southeastern Virginia to the Delmarva Peninsula, there can still be some snow or snow shower activity in the local area from late Wednesday into Thursday as a northern stream upper-level low passes overhead…small accumulations of a coating to a couple of inches are possible.
