6:00 AM | **"Clippers" galore with one passing by well to our north today...another one on Friday brings the chance of snow...and a third one can impact the area over the weekend**

Paul Dorian

After a very cold day on Tuesday, temperatures will moderate today as a “clipper” low pressure system pushes well to our north resulting in a low-level south-to-southwesterly flow that’ll bring in slightly milder air and there will also be the chance for rain showers. Another “clipper” system can bring some snow here later Friday into Friday night and then a third one can produce some snow from late Saturday into early Sunday. The weekend “clipper” system will usher in a reinforcing Arctic air mass for the first part of next week...some warmer weather is possible during the second half of next week

6:00 AM | **"Clippers" galore with one passing by well to our northwest today...another one reaches the Mid-Atlantic region on Friday...and a third one can impact the area over the weekend**

Paul Dorian

After a very cold day on Tuesday, temperatures will moderate today as a “clipper” low pressure system pushes well to our north and west resulting in a low-level south-to-southwesterly flow that’ll bring in slightly milder air. Some rain showers are likely with this “clipper” system and - despite the slightly milder conditions - it may still be cold enough in some areas for a few ice pellets or snowflakes to be mixed in at times. Another “clipper” system can bring a touch of snow here late Friday/Friday night and then a third one can produce some snow from late Saturday into early Sunday. The weekend “clipper” system will usher in a reinforcing Arctic air mass for the first part of next week...some warmer weather is possible during the second half of next week.

7:00 AM | ****An extreme wind event is in the offing for today with hurricane-force gusts possible along the foothills and east-facing mountains****

Paul Dorian

An extreme wind event is in store for the foothills and east-facing mountains today with gusts past 55 mph or so. In fact, the ingredients are there for even higher wind gusts in some spots that can reach hurricane-force levels. Locally strong winds will likely spread into the wind-favored lower elevations later today as well. Another high wind event is in the offing for late Wednesday night and early Thursday morning along the Front Range mountains.

6:00 AM | **The day starts with record or near record-breaking cold in many spots of the Mid-Atlantic/NE US...moderation in temperatures on Wednesday**

Paul Dorian

The day dawns with the lowest temperatures of the season so far in the Mid-Atlantic region and, in many spots, it is near or at a record low for the date. After a very cold Tuesday, temperatures will moderate at mid-week as a “clipper” low pressure system pushes well to the north of here resulting in a stiff southwesterly flow of air on Wednesday that’ll bring in slightly milder air. Some precipitation is likely on Wednesday with this initial “clipper” system and - despite the warm up - it may still be cold enough in some areas for a mix of rain and snow at the onset. Another “clipper” system can bring some snow to the area later Friday and then a third one can produce some snow in the Saturday-to-Sunday time frame. That last “clipper” system will usher in another bitter cold Arctic air mass for the late weekend and early part of next week…warmer weather is possible later next week.

***Relentless cold pattern Alaska to Mid-Atlantic...coldest night so far on the way for DC, Philly, NYC...another frigid air mass headed to the US for the late week/weekend...snow threats as well***

Paul Dorian

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.

*Second year in a row with below-normal tropical activity across the Northern Hemisphere… western Pacific leads the way with 7th straight down year...no hurricanes hit US for first time in a decade*

Paul Dorian

The 2025 hurricane season is winding down across the Northern Hemisphere, and it has been the second straight season with below-normal activity as measured by the metric known as the “Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE)”. The most important region when it comes to tropical activity in the Northern Hemisphere is the western half of the Pacific Ocean as it features the highest ACE value of any sector from a climatological point-of view and it was well below-normal for the 2025 tropical season. In the Atlantic Basin, tropical activity ended up slightly above the normal in terms of ACE thanks in large part to the end-of-season blockbuster hurricane named “Melissa” which reached category 5 status and lasted for a lengthy period. However, there were no landfalling hurricanes in the US for the first time since 2015, and the number of hurricanes (5) was below the long-term average of 7.2.
