A series of frigid Arctic air masses will sweep across the eastern two-thirds of the United States, bringing dangerously low temperatures and increasing chances for snow. The cold snap, expected to be the coldest of the winter so far, will impact over 70% of the country's population with temperatures 5 to 20 degrees colder than normal.
Mother Nature is getting a jumpstart on a resolution to revive winter in the United States after a recent warm spell and last year’s warmest winter on record. Multiple bursts of increasingly brutal, cold Arctic air will overspread the eastern two-thirds of the country over the next few days, dropping temperatures to dangerous lows by next week. Temperatures are shaping up to be the coldest of the winter so far and will be frigid even for what’s already typically the coldest time of the year.
Temperatures will be 5 to 20 degrees colder than normal for much of the central and eastern US this weekend, including the Gulf Coast states. A high in the low 70s is typical for Orlando, Florida, at the beginning of the year but the city may struggle to reach 60 on Saturday. Next week will be even colder This first batch of cold air through the weekend is just an appetizer.
