Let the bitterly cold, sunny times continue

Let the cold times continue as today features similar conditions to Tuesday. However, winds won't be as potent, allowing wind chills to gradually make their way towards the 0° mark this afternoon. Though we could consider that an "improvement", I would still layer up from start to finish. 

  

A strong area of high pressure ejecting into the lower 48 from Canada will keep our weather pattern dry and cold into week's end. Expect Thursday and Friday to also begin with sub-zero temperatures, but then highs will end up in the low teens.  

This will also keep the main storm track well to our south, steering snow chances away during the rest of this very cold stretch. The best chance nationally will be a potent coastal low that could potentially brew up late Saturday night into Sunday. 

 

Areas across the southeast U.S and the Mid-Atlantic would be placed under the highest potential for snow accumulations. Again, this would all depend on the placement of the surface low itself.  

 

 

Locally, forecast models show a weak system diving into the Great Lakes Sunday into Monday. This could potentially bring the opportunity for scattered snow showers and minor accumulations. However, we will have to see how models trend over the next few days as changes can be expected. Otherwise, snow chances remain rather low with afternoon highs climbing back into the 20s starting Sunday.
