A major winter storm will affect the Mid-Atlantic region this weekend with significant snowfall and sleet can mix into the picture. The stage will be set as the next in a series of Arctic blasts reaches the Northern Plains later today and then swallows up much of the eastern two-thirds of the nation by the weekend. Despite the threat of some icing during this weekend’s event, this should turn out to be the biggest snowstorms in many years for the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor with a foot or more on the table in some spots. The timeframe in the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor appears to be from later Saturday night into Monday morning meaning there can be impacts on travel conditions at the start of the new work week. Brutally cold air will follow the weekend storm with some seldom-seen low temperatures around here during the first half of next week. (The last time Philly recorded a temperature below zero was in January 1994…just saying).

An Arctic blast is on the way for the local area and it will be accompanied by a chance of light snow at times. The big drop in temperatures will come in the overnight hours and we’ll stay in the deep freeze well into the upcoming weekend.

A major winter storm will have significant impacts on much of the nation this weekend and that will include the Tennessee Valley. The chance of a mixed bag of rain, ice, and snow will increase by Friday evening and the threat of wintry precipitation can continue all the way into Sunday. One final note, the threat of power outages is quite high as a result of the likely buildup of ice in portions of the region during this upcoming weekend winter weather event.

The next in a series of Arctic air outbreaks will plunge into the north-central states on Thursday and it’ll swallow up much of the eastern two-thirds of the nation by the upcoming weekend. This next Arctic outbreak will be the real deal featuring some extremely cold air, and it’ll set the stage for widespread impacts this weekend by a major storm system. A crippling ice event is on the table for many in the Texas-to-Virginia corridor, and a significant snowfall in other areas including the Mid-Atlantic region. Following the storm, brutal cold is likely across much of the nation including in the Mid-Atlantic region where morning lows may be pretty amazing indeed during the first half of next week.

The next couple of weeks will feature some of the worst weather winter has to offer with bitter cold conditions at times and a major storm system that can bring a crippling ice event to some areas this weekend and significant snowfall to others. After another day with below-normal temperatures here at mid-week, it’ll turn milder on Thursday, but that warmup will be for a brief time only.
Another Arctic outbreak will spread south to Texas and east to the coast at the end of the week and this air mass will feature some incredible cold across the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest with 30 degrees below zero in some spots. 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 a crippling ice event in many southern states, and significant accumulating snow farther to the north including in the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor.

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.

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. There will be a temporary modification in temperatures on Thursday and then another Arctic air mass will push in for the upcoming weekend.
