The next couple of weeks will feature some of the worst weather winter has to offer with bitter cold conditions and a major storm system that can bring a crippling ice event to some areas this weekend and significant snowfall to others. The coldest core of the current Arctic air outbreak has reached the Mid-Atlantic region, and temperatures are likely to bottom out later tonight in the single digits across many suburban locations along the I-95 corridor. There will be a temporary modification in temperatures on Thursday in the Mid-Atlantic region and then another Arctic air mass will push in for the upcoming weekend. This late week/weekend blast will feature some incredible cold with temperatures as low as 30 degrees below zero in portions of the Upper Midwest/Northern Plains, and more bitter cold is a likelihood in the Mid-Atlantic region during the upcoming weekend. By the end of the week, moisture will be gathering across the south-central states. As this moisture pushes to the north and east, it will encounter this very cold air mass, and the result will be icing across many southern states – potentially a crippling event - and significant accumulating snow farther to the north and this potentially includes the Mid-Atlantic region.

The core of the coldest air associated with the current Arctic outbreak moves into the Mid-Atlantic region today and temperatures here will struggle to pass the 20-degree mark (normal high is 39 degrees at Central Park). In addition, winds will be quite stiff from a northwesterly direction bringing wind chill values to below-zero from time-to-time. Temperatures later tonight could plunge to 10 degrees - levels not seen often around here – and then they’ll likely reach the lower 30’s by tomorrow afternoon. There will be a temporary modification in temperatures on Thursday and then another Arctic air mass will push in for the upcoming weekend.
By Friday night and Saturday, moisture will start gathering across the south-central states. As this moisture shield then heads to the north and east, it will encounter a very cold air mass having its origins in the Arctic region. As such, frozen precipitation will break out with significant - and potentially crippling - icing possible this weekend across many southern states. As the moisture field pushes farther to the north and east, snow will break out, and significant accumulations are on the table in the region from the Middle Mississippi Valley to the Tennessee Valley to the Mid-Atlantic region...buckle up, the next couple of weeks may feature the worst that winter has to offer.

The core of the coldest air associated with the current Arctic outbreak moves into the Mid-Atlantic region today and temperatures here will struggle to pass the 20-degree mark (normal high is 41 degrees at PHL). In addition, winds will be quite stiff from a northwesterly direction bringing wind chill values to below-zero from time-to-time. Temperatures later tonight could plunge to the middle single digits - levels not seen often around here – and then they’ll likely reach the middle 30’s by tomorrow afternoon.

The core of the coldest air associated with the current Arctic outbreak moves into the Mid-Atlantic region today and temperatures here will struggle reach the upper 20’s (normal high is 44 degrees at DCA). In addition, winds will be quite stiff from a northwesterly direction bringing wind chill values to below-zero from time-to-time. Temperatures later tonight could plunge to the middle teens and then they’ll likely reach the upper 30’s by tomorrow afternoon. There will be a temporary modification in temperatures on Thursday and then another Arctic air mass will push in for the upcoming weekend.

The next couple of weeks will feature multiple Arctic outbreaks...some incredible cold...and the likelihood of a major weekend winter storm that will impact a large part of the nation in a variety of ways. The core of the coldest air associated with the current Arctic outbreak reaches the Mid-Atlantic region for the period tonight, tomorrow, and tomorrow night and some suburban locations can see single digits lows by early Wednesday. There will be a temporary modification in temperatures on Thursday in the Mid-Atlantic region and then another Arctic air mass will push in for the upcoming weekend. This late week/weekend blast will feature some incredible cold with temperatures as low as 30 degrees below zero in portions of the Upper Midwest/Northern Plains, and bitter cold is a possibility in the Mid-Atlantic region during the upcoming weekend.
At the same time the next Arctic invasion swallows up the northern states, moisture will be gathering across the south-central states. As this moisture pushes to the north and east, it will encounter this very cold air mass, and the result could be icing across many southern states – potentially a crippling event - and significant accumulating snow to the north. There will likely be a very strong Arctic high pressure system over the Northeast US this weekend anchoring the bitter cold air mass in place and the extent to which the moisture field can penetrate north and east into the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast US will have to be better determined in coming days. Suffice to say, the potential is there for a big-time impact this weekend in the Mid-Atlantic region given the Arctic cold to the north and copious amounts of moisture to our south.

A very cold week is in store for the Mid-Atlantic region with the worst of the cold coming tonight, tomorrow, and tomorrow night with middle teens likely for overnight lows. Temperatures today will struggle to reach 40 degrees and a stiff wind will develop producing lower wind chills. Temperatures will modify briefly on Thursday with 45 degree highs back on the table, but another Arctic blast reaches us for the late week and weekend. Looking ahead, a major winter storm is likely to form across the southern states by the weekend and we will track it very closely this week to see how much impact it may have here in the Mid-Atlantic region…stay tuned, the potential is there for a big-time impact.

A very cold week is in store for the Mid-Atlantic region with the worst of the cold coming tonight, tomorrow, and tomorrow night with below zero wind chills at times and single digit overnight lows late Tuesday night. Temperatures today will struggle to climb above freezing for highs and there will be a stiff wind producing even lower wind chills. Temperatures will modify briefly on Thursday with 40 degree highs back on the table, but another Arctic blast reaches us for the late week and weekend. Looking ahead, a major winter storm is likely to form across the southern states by the weekend and we will track it very closely this week to see how much impact it may have here in the Mid-Atlantic region…stay tuned, the potential is there for a big-time impact.

A very cold week is in store for the Mid-Atlantic region with the worst of the cold coming tonight, tomorrow, and tomorrow night with below zero wind chills at times and upper single digit overnight lows late Tuesday night. Temperatures today will struggle to climb above 30 degrees for highs and there will be a stiff wind producing even lower wind chills. Temperatures will modify briefly on Thursday with 40 degree highs back on the table, but another Arctic blast reaches us for the late week and weekend.

An active weather pattern is leading to a “doubleheader” of snow in the Mid-Atlantic region with snow from one system on Saturday and snow is likely from a second system on Sunday. The accumulations on Saturday with system number one will be be primarily from northern Maryland northward with lesser chances in the DC metro region. On Sunday, a coastal storm can bring accumulating snow all along the I-95 corridor and to coastal sections of the Mid-Atlantic. This overall pattern remains very cold with bitter cold conditions expected here on Monday night, Tuesday, and Tuesday night and the possibility still exists for some extreme cold during the last week of the month…and additional snow threats on the horizon.

An Arctic air mass pushed into the Mid-Atlantic region on Thursday and it stays quite cold today with an increase in cloud cover as an upper-level disturbance heads in this direction. This system can produce some snow in the area later tonight and on Saturday morning and perhaps a mix of rain and snow on Saturday afternoon...small accumulations are possible. Another system will try to slide up along the east coast on Sunday and it can bring some snow to the DC metro region during the second half of the weekend...accumulations are possible. More Arctic air is on tap for the Mid-Atlantic region during the first half of next week with bitter cold conditions expected here on Monday night, Tuesday, and Tuesday night. The overall pattern stays very cold through the second half of the month in the eastern US and it can include some extreme cold.
