Weather

Cold to gradually moderate across the Heartland

Very cold weather will continue to dominate the central and eastern U.S. through the weekend. During the cold snap, snow showers and squalls will rage downwind of the Great Lakes. Some of the coldest weather can be expected tomorrow, when sub-zero temperatures could occur as far south as the Ozark Plateau and the Ohio Valley. Farther south, late-week freezes will be observed from the central Gulf Coast into northern Florida. In contrast, mild weather will prevail in much of the West. During the weekend, rain will develop in the western Gulf Coast region. As precipitation spreads northeastward early next week, the interaction between moisture and lingering cold air could result in snow, sleet, and freezing rain across parts of the South.

Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for near- to below-normal temperatures in the central and eastern U.S., except for warmer-than-normal weather across Florida’s peninsula. Warm conditions will also dominate the West. Meanwhile, below-normal precipitation will dominate the northern and western U.S., while wetter-than-normal conditions will be limited to western Texas and the Southeast.
