A strong snow and ice storm, followed by brutally cold conditions, is expected to affect the eastern two-thirds of the United States. Frigid Arctic air is forecast to plunge as far south as Florida.
A double dose of nasty winter is about to smack much of the US with snow, ice and biting coldA lone jogger traverses the Lake Michigan shoreline on a bike and running path in below freezing temperatures Friday, Jan. 3, 2025, in Chicago. A person walk almost a half mile to their home from a grocery store as steam from an underground vent rises behind them in the Bronzeville neighborhood of Chicago, Tuesday, Jan. 16, 2024.
National Weather Service meteorologist Alex Lamers said Friday that the potential for blizzard conditions is increasing, particularly in Kansas and neighboring portions of the Central Plains, and that wind gusts may reach 50 mph at times. Forecasts have moderated a bit from last week when some computer models envisioned the worst cold spell in decades. Now it’s unlikely many cold records will break, but it will still have a big impact on the country, Barandiaran said.
This double dose of nasty weather may be triggered in part by a fast-warming Arctic, serving as a not-so-gentle reminder that climate change gooses weather extremes, even winter ones, said Francis and Judah Cohen, seasonal forecast director at the private firm Atmospheric and Environmental Research.
