A strengthening storm is expected to bring snow, ice, and possibly severe thunderstorms to parts of the central and eastern U.S. as it slides across the country this weekend into early next week.
AccuWeather expert forecasters say several Arctic blasts will bring waves of bitterly cold air to much of the eastern half of the nation starting this weekend. The system could bring some of the lowest January temperatures in over ten years to some places.
“We’re going to be dealing with the coldest air of the season and multiple days of sub-zero temperatures from the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest into the Tennessee Valley,” says Chief Meteorologist Bernie Rayno.
Lake-effect snow is forecast to increase as progressively colder air moves across the Great Lakes. Ice cover on the Great Lakes is well below historical averages, allowing the cold air blowing across the relatively warmer waters to create lake-effect snow.
