It has been persistently cold in the northeastern states from around Thanksgiving Day to the present time with the month of December being observed as the coldest since 2010 in many spots including Washington, D.C. and New York City. A warmer weather pattern is on the way, however, which will bring noticeably milder conditions to the region in the Wednesday through Saturday time period. The peak in temperatures will come on Friday and Saturday for the northeastern states, but both of those will feature some rainfall dampening the mood a bit. The next strong cold front looks like it’ll arrive in the eastern states late on Saturday, and its passage will reverse the warmer trend by the time we get to the second half of the upcoming weekend and the early part of next week.

The new year will start off on the cold side as a reinforcing shot of Arctic air has pushed into the Mid-Atlantic region following the late night passage of a cold frontal system. There can be residual snow around early today; otherwise, 2026 will start off with partly-to-mostly sunny skies, unseasonably cold conditions, and northwest winds that can gust up to 30 mph or so. It looks like the colder-than-normal weather will continue through the upcoming weekend. 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.
