A reinforcing shot of Arctic air will push into the Mid-Atlantic region in the overnight hours assuring a very cold start to the new year. The cold front that will usher in this next Arctic air mass will have some kick to it and it could spark a quick burst of heavy snow during the late-night hours which will follow snow showers in many areas this evening. Temperatures on the first day of the new year will be well below normal and will struggle to climb much past the 30-degree mark in the I-95 corridor region and strong northwest winds will make it feel even colder than the actual outdoor temperatures. The colder-than-normal weather pattern continues through the upcoming weekend and we’ll be monitoring low pressure over the Southeast US to see if it can come far enough to the north to impact the Mid-Atlantic region. Looking ahead, the cold pattern may relax for a week or so; however, numerous signals point to the return of the cold pattern before we get to the middle of the month.

It remains quite cold here at mid-week and a reinforcing shot of Arctic air will push into the region tonight setting the stage for a very cold start to the new year. Low pressure to our north will drag a cold front through the area tonight and temperatures on Thursday will be far below-normal for the first day of January. Snow showers are likely tonight in the NYC metro region and there may even be a burst of heavier snow during the wee hours of Thursday morning…watch for small accumulations and slick spots during the AM hours. It looks like the colder-than-normal weather will continue on Friday and right through the first weekend of the new month.
One final note, there will be a low pressure system in the Southeast US on Saturday that may stay just to the south of the area; however, it is a close call and I’ll be watching for a possible northwest trend in its storm track…meaning it still can have an impact here.

The week began on the chilly side, but it’ll turn milder today with afternoon highs close to the 50-degree mark. The warming trend continues as we begin the new year and highs by the late week will be in the middle and upper 50’s...60 degrees is possible by early next week.

The passage of a strong cold front on Monday ushered in an Arctic air mass to the Mid-Atlantic region and Northeast US and it is being accompanied by very strong winds that can gust today up to 50 mph or so. A reinforcing Arctic blast will arrive to start the new year on Thursday, and temperatures will remain well below-normal for the first few days of January. Looking ahead, numerous signs point to a continuation of the colder-than-normal pattern across the northern US as we progress through January and some extreme cold could get into the mix.
In addition to the wind and cold, the next few days in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast US will also feature a couple of upper-level “short-wave” disturbances that will rotate through a “long-wave” trough of low pressure now centered over the northeastern states. As a result, there can be snow showers at various times including late tonight and early tomorrow from one disturbance and again late tomorrow night to early Thursday from a second disturbance. This second “short-wave” is the stronger of the two and small snow accumulations cannot be ruled out – even in the immediate I-95 corridor from DC-to-Philly-to-NYC – right as we begin the new year on Thursday.

A powerful cold front barreled through the region on Monday and the post-frontal winds picked up dramatically as much colder air poured into the northeastern part of the country. The winds will continue to be strong today from a west-to-northwest direction with gusts of up to 50 mph making it feel even colder than the actual outdoor temperatures. Another blast of Arctic air will push into the Mid-Atlantic region later tomorrow night setting the stage for a very cold start to the new year on Thursday.
