Get ready for the big chill.
Record-breaking, teeth-rattling temperatures are on tap for next week as an Arctic blast sweeps across much of the country, according to forecasts.
“The National Weather Service is forecasting 170 potential daily record cold high temperatures Monday to Wednesday,” Weather Channel meteorologist Jonathan Erdman said in a tweet. “A little taste of January in November.”
For much of the country east of the Rockies, the cold wave could mean temperatures of up to 30 degrees below average, according to CNN meteorologist Taylor Ward.
“We are in a pattern where multiple waves of cold are moving in from Canada and impacting the Central and Eastern US,” he said.
“One wave of cold came in late last week, another is moving in today and tomorrow, and the coldest blast by far moves in early next week.”
The cold front will plunge rapidly through the northern Plains and upper Midwest on Sunday, into the southern Plains and Ohio Valley on Monday and then through most of the East Coast by Tuesday, according to the Weather Channel.
Meanwhile, a storm system that moved through the Northeast late Thursday brought the first taste of winter to parts of the region.
“As of early Friday morning, snowfall reports between 1 and 3 inches were common from northwestern Pennsylvania into southern New England,” AccuWeather meteorologist Maura Kelly said.
“The main story on Friday will be the bitter cold extending from the southern Plains to the East,” she added.
“Then late this weekend the next storm system will begin to take shape across the Plains, which will bring the next round of snow and ice to the Plains and into the Northeast into the beginning of next week.”
By Wednesday, the high temperature is expected to be 36 degrees, but it will feel much colder with the wind-chill factor. The low is forecast to be 28 degrees, according to AccuWeather.

Of course this cold blast is just weather. If temps were above the average then it would be trumpeted across the MSM as more proof of Climate Disaster or whatever term they’ve made up to describe “weather”.
At least Mickey Mouse and his 11,000 Scientist friends think this case is JUST WEATHER.
There is a consensus amongst the fake name crowd that a Looney Tunes Cartoon Climate Disaster exists, worthy of another cringy Disney work of fiction.
If this cold weather pattern persists through winter, watch the results in the Northeast U.S. With the gas pipeline constraints “foisted” on the region by Gov. Cuomo & his NY DEQ, something tells me energy outcomes may leave a lot of folks disenchanted…
I hope this brings snow to the areas where the various Eco-Freaks hold a big time pow wow and leaves them with frozen numb toes and fingers and Jack Frost nipping at their nose
“Bitter cold.” A total crock of shit. Toronto predicted as -4C FOR ONE DAY. That is 24.8F which is toasty for us old Canucks. If it was -15C then we’re close to talking bitter with our Great Lakes humidity levels. FAKE NEW, FAKE NEWS, FAKE NEWS.
Cheers all
