A cold front crossed the region last night and has ushered in a chilly air mass that will stick around in the northeastern part of the country through the first half of the upcoming weekend. High pressure builds into the Mid-Atlantic region today from the Tennessee Valley and should result in dry conditions here into the weekend. On Saturday night and Sunday, a clipper-like low pressure system will pass by to our north and raise the chances of showers from late Saturday night into Sunday. Following the passage of a trailing cold front, another chilly air mass will push into the Mid-Atlantic region for the early part of next week.

Arctic air continues to impact the eastern states here at mid-week and today will feature colder-than-normal temperatures around here along with a continued stiff westerly wind making it feel even colder than the actual air temperature. A cold front passes through the area overnight and it’ll usher in a chilly air mass for the remainder of the week with temperatures remaining below-normal Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
In terms of space weather, a very active sunspot region unleashed three separate solar flares on Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday and each one resulted in a coronal mass ejection (CME) headed towards Earth (full story). The combination of the first two CMEs impacted the Earth last night with auroras seen around here in the Mid-Atlantic region and in unusually far south locations such as Texas, Alabama, and New Mexico. The third CME that was unleashed early Tuesday morning - the strongest solar flare of the year - could result in more northern lights on Wednesday night so be on the lookout for that if skies cooperate (and they should).

Solar cycle 25 is in its maximum phase as we approach the end of the year and it has featured numerous active sunspot regions in recent weeks. In fact, one such sunspot region known officially as AR4274 had an X5.1 class eruption early Tuesday morning...the year’s most powerful solar flare...and this follows two intense flares from the same sunspot region that took place on Sunday and Monday. The latest data that has come in on this morning’s intense solar flare suggests it was indeed accompanied by a coronal mass ejection (CME) that could reach the Earth on Wednesday, November 12th. Meanwhile, the prior two flares - which were also accompanied by coronal mass ejections - may combine into a “cannibal” CME before reaching Earth as early as later tonight.

The Arctic blast that reached the eastern US on Monday is having an impact this morning all the way down to southern Florida with numerous low temperature records across the southeastern states and Tennessee Valley region. In addition to the unusual cold in our area, winds will be quite strong today gusting to 40 mph or so which will make it feel even colder than the actual air temperatures. Temperatures do relax some at mid-week, but a chilly air mass moves in later this week following the passage of another cold frontal system.
