A reinforcing Arctic air mass will move into Denver for the Broncos' AFC Championship game, with kickoff near 1 p.m. around 20°F and wind chills near 9°F, dipping into the upper teens and wind chills near 0 by game’s end; light, fluffy snow is possible (about 1–2 inches), mainly on bridges and overpasses, tapering off by 10 p.m.
A large winter storm will blanket Virginia with snow, sleet and freezing rain—creating a thick, glacial layer of precipitation—before an Arctic air mass drives temperatures into the teens and 20s. Most of the state is expected to see wintry precipitation, with 5–10 inches of snow north of Wytheville to Richmond and widespread ice accumulation, raising travel risks and the potential for power outages. Gov. Spanberger declared a state of emergency to mobilize resources as conditions worsen and a prolonged cold snap follows for days throughout the region.
Arctic air moving into Georgia is expected to meet incoming moisture this weekend, setting up a potential wintry mix (freezing rain, sleet, and snow) across the northern portion of the state. Winter storm watches remain to the west, with Georgia not yet under a watch but likely as the system nears. Forecasters say exact amounts and timing aren’t known yet and will firm up 1–3 days before onset, with northern areas bearing the brunt and the south potentially seeing a warmer side. State leaders, including Gov. Kemp, say preparations are underway, including updated brine supplies and improved response plans; residents should prep by sealing gaps, insulating, protecting pipes, and stocking emergency supplies.
An Arctic outbreak driven by a wobbling polar vortex and a fading La Niña setup could spark a weekend winter storm from Texas to the Carolinas, with heavy snow, sleet, and significant icing possible; New England may see only a northern fringe with bitter cold and subzero wind chills through the weekend.
A major winter storm is forecast this weekend to bring heavy snow, sleet and damaging ice from the Plains to the East Coast as bitter Arctic air floods the region; tracking and timing remain uncertain, but the system could cause widespread travel chaos and power outages, with bitter cold and extreme wind chills continuing into early next week.
A cold Arctic air mass is causing unusually low temperatures and severe winds across Europe, including heavy snowfall in eastern and central regions, and strong gusts in Corsica, driven by complex atmospheric interactions.
A major winter storm with heavy snow and Arctic air is impacting the Eastern U.S. during New Year's, with warnings of hazardous conditions, especially in New York and surrounding areas, due to lake-effect snow and a fast-moving Alberta clipper, following a recent bomb cyclone.
A cold front brings early flurries and breezy, chilly conditions to Minnesota, with temperatures dropping into the single digits and wind chills into the teens and 20s below zero, followed by a warming trend and milder weather approaching Christmas week.
A triple-dip polar vortex is expected to bring frigid Arctic air to much of the central and eastern US over the coming weeks, causing significant cold surges, snow, and increased energy demands, with temperatures potentially dropping below -25°F in some areas.
A severe weather system is impacting the eastern US, with Arctic air and lake-effect snow creating hazardous conditions for Thanksgiving travelers. Temperatures are expected to drop 15 to 25 degrees, affecting areas from Minnesota to Texas. The Great Lakes region is experiencing significant snowfall, with up to 5 feet expected in parts of New York. Over 6 million people are under winter weather alerts, and travel disruptions are likely, particularly in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York. Authorities have issued warnings and declared states of emergency in affected areas.
Thanksgiving in the northeastern United States may be marked by wet and snowy weather as a storm system is expected to bring rain and snow to the region. This weather pattern is part of a transition involving several Arctic air masses moving into the central and eastern US from late November into early December.
Thanksgiving week will see significant weather changes in the U.S. due to remnants of a bomb cyclone and a polar vortex. The bomb cyclone will bring a cold front to Colorado with light snow, while a second Pacific cyclone could cause a snowstorm in Denver on Wednesday. A polar vortex will bring extreme cold to the eastern states starting Friday, affecting post-Thanksgiving travel, with heavy snow expected from the Great Lakes to New England.
A significant weather change is expected in the eastern U.S. as a storm system brings wet snow, cold temperatures, and strong winds from Thursday into the weekend. This marks a shift from the mild start to fall, with Arctic air moving in and potentially causing snow accumulation in the Great Lakes, Northeast, and Appalachians. The storm will also bring much-needed rain to drought-affected areas, although exact rainfall amounts are uncertain. A warming trend is expected before Thanksgiving, with another Arctic air mass possibly arriving afterward.
After experiencing highs in the 60s, Minnesota is bracing for a drastic weather change with the arrival of snow and plummeting temperatures, leading to wind chills as low as -20 degrees overnight. The National Weather Service has issued forecasts for potential snow and blustery conditions, with temperatures expected to drop significantly before gradually rising again later in the week.
After a mass of Arctic air gripped much of the United States last week, a significant warm-up is expected in the coming days, with some cities anticipating temperature swings of more than 50 degrees. Unseasonably high temperatures are forecasted for various regions, prompting people to make outdoor plans and prompting outdoor spaces to prepare for an increase in visitors.
