...AN ARCTIC AIR MASS WILL TRACK SOUTH AND EAST THIS COMING WEEK BRINGING GUSTY WINDS AND BITTER COLD TEMPS FOR MOST OF THE COUNTRY...

 

A POTENT ARCTIC TROUGH IS STILL FORECAST TO UNLEASH BITTER COLD AIR FOR MOST OF THE U.S. BY FRIDAY OF THIS COMING WEEK.  BITTER COLD TEMPS RANGING FROM THE MINUS IN THE NORTH AND TWENTIES AND 30S FOR MOST OF THE COUNTRY. 

POSSIBLE BLIZZARD CONDITIONS FOR THE THE GREAT LAKES BY FRIDAY.  A STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL PRODUCE GUSTY WINDS.  EXPECT POWER DISRUPTION AS THESE WINDS TRACK ACROSS THE COUNTRY.  TRAVEL WILL ALSO BECOME HAZARDOUS FOR MANY.  IF YOU CAN LEAVE EARLIER THE BETTER, SO PLAN ACCORDINGLY. 

HEAVY SNOW WILL ALSO ACCOMPANY THIS STORM SYSTEM BUT THOSE EXPECTING A WHITE CHRISTMAS, THE SNOW WILL START EARLY AND MOVE UP INTO CANADA BEFORE CHRISTMAS DAY.  HOWEVER, THAT COULD CHANGE SINCE THESE MODELS ARE NOT AN EXACT SCIENCE SO, STAY TUNE TO YOUR LOCAL MEDIA FOR THE LATEST UPDATES ON THIS WINTER STORM.  

REMEMBER THESE ARE FORECAST MODELS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE, SO CHECK BACK DAILY.
