It stays well below-normal during the next couple of days and some snow is likely later tomorrow as a disturbance crosses the Great Lakes….small accumulations are possible on the order of a coating to an inch or so. Temperatures will moderate for Friday and Saturday and there can be some rain shower activity during the first half of the weekend with an outside chance that ice and/or snow mixes in at times early Saturday.
A strong cold front is going to pass through early Sunday and set the stage for bitter cold Arctic air to move into the region for the bulk of next week. A wave of low pressure can form along the Arctic frontal boundary zone potentially producing some snow in the Mid-Atlantic region from later Sunday into Sunday night. The bitter cold will continue into mid-week and there can be another storm threat with its origins likely over the Gulf of Mexico.
Stay tuned…next week is looking quite interesting.

Upper-level ridging and surface high pressure will build over the region later this week and it’ll help to promote a warm-up that can result in temperatures well up in the 50’s by week’s end. Changes will begin to take place this weekend, however, as a strong upper-level trough forms over the central states. As such, colder air will make a return to the Tennessee Valley region and we’ll likely be confined to the 20’s for highs by early next week as Arctic air overspreads much of the nation.

Widespread bitter cold air looks like it will overspread the nation next week and there can be multiple storm threats as well. Temperatures are likely to fall to well below-normal levels across much of the nation which is quite impressive considering the 3rd week of January is - from a climatological point-of-view - the coldest week of the year in many areas. An Arctic front is going to head into the eastern states later in the weekend and it will be at the leading edge of this incoming Arctic air mass...some of which may have its origins on the Siberian side of the North Pole. A wave of low pressure may form along the Arctic frontal boundary zone early next week potentially producing some snow in the Mid-Atlantic region for the period from late Sunday into Monday (Inauguration Day). Another storm threat could come at mid-week with its origins way down south and perhaps there will even be a third one during the late week time period.

An Arctic blast has arrived following the passage of an overnight cold front and temperatures today will track some 15-20 degrees colder than yesterday. The winds will be quite strong right through tonight bringing wind chill levels down to single digits and there can be a couple of snow showers along the way. It stays well below-normal during the next couple of days and additional snow showers are possible later Thursday into Thursday night. Temperatures moderate on Friday and then it turns milder to start the weekend with the threat of rain shower activity on Saturday. An Arctic cold front arrives by Sunday paving the way for a much colder week ahead, and there can be some snow early next week as we transition to the colder pattern.

This will be a relatively quiet week across the nation despite another Arctic blast that arrives tonight in the eastern states, but next week looks like a different story. Widespread bitter cold air looks like it will overspread the nation next week and there can be multiple storm threats as well. Temperatures are likely to fall to far below-normal levels across much of the nation in what is from a climatological point-of-view, already the coldest week of the year in many areas.

High pressure is in control of the weather as we begin the week and temperatures today will be moderately chilly across the Mid-Atlantic region. An Arctic cold front will pass through during the evening hours and it’ll usher in another very cold air mass for the next few days. Temperatures this afternoon will peak near 45 degrees, but likely be confined to 30 degrees for highs on Tuesday and a stiff wind will make it feel even colder than the actual air temperature. It’ll remain colder-than-normal on Wednesday and Thursday as well and then there will be moderation in temperatures late in the week.

The week starts off moderately chilly with temperatures approaching the 40 degree mark for afternoon highs. However, another Arctic blast makes its way into the eastern US by tomorrow and temperatures will drop back down to well below-normal levels for the Tennessee Valley through the mid-week. It turns milder by week’s end and there will be an increasing chance of rain showers.
