UNITED STATES — Early February 2026 has delivered one of the sharpest cold snaps of the winter across the Central and Eastern United States, with temperature anomaly data showing widespread readings 10 to 20 degrees colder than normal from the Midwest through the Northeast. At the same time, much of the Western United States remains…
UNITED STATES — A narrowly focused but unusually intense Arctic airmass is sliding through the Northeast, producing one of the coldest localized temperature corridors of the winter along the I-95 stretch from Philadelphia through New York City and into southern Connecticut. Mesoscale temperature analysis shows this cold ribbon standing out sharply against surrounding regions, a…
NEW HAMPSHIRE — A late-night into tomorrow winter weather setup is drawing close attention across southern New England as a Norlun trough interacts with ocean-effect and coastal enhancement, creating a scenario where snowfall totals may vary sharply over short distances. While average accumulations remain modest, guidance shows a higher ceiling where narrow bands lock in…
MASSACHUSETTS AND RHODE ISLAND — A dynamic winter setup is unfolding late tonight into tomorrow as a Norlun trough interacts with a coastal front, creating the potential for sharply varying snowfall totals across central Massachusetts, eastern Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. The pattern favors two distinct snowfall maxima, with inland areas influenced by the trough itself…
MASSACHUSETTS, NEW HAMPSHIRE, AND MAINE — A complex winter setup is unfolding across eastern New England as coastal enhancement, frontal forcing, and ocean-effect snow bands combine to produce sharply varying snowfall totals from inland areas to the immediate coastline. While widespread snowfall remains modest, localized bursts near the coast are expected to intensify rapidly, behaving…
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Sixteen years ago today, the Mid-Atlantic experienced one of the most disruptive and historic winter storms in modern U.S. history, as the February 5–6, 2010 blizzard—widely remembered as Snowmageddon—paralyzed cities across Washington, D.C., Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey with record-breaking snowfall and prolonged shutdowns. The storm arrived in two major waves,…
WASHINGTON, D.C. — A surge of dangerous, life-threatening cold is set to move into the DMV region from Saturday morning through Sunday morning, bringing some of the coldest air of the season in the wake of an Arctic front. Extreme Cold Warnings and Cold Weather Advisories are in effect across the entire DMV, with wind…
UNITED STATES — A new Euro model (ECMWF) snow projection is pointing to a meaningful two-week snow boost across the Western United States, with the strongest signal aimed at the Cascades and the Sierra Nevada. The map’s “total snow” output suggests a broad, active storm track that keeps feeding mountain snowfall through mid-to-late February, creating…
UNITED STATES — New snowfall departure data covering July 2025 through January 2026 reveals a sharply divided winter pattern across the Lower 48, with above-average snowfall concentrated in the Midwest, Great Lakes, and Northeast, while large portions of the western United States and Plains remain locked in a significant snow drought. The imbalance is already…
RICHMOND, VIRGINIA — A fast-moving arctic front has clearly outperformed across Central Virginia, pushing snow totals higher than many residents expected as steady snow bands continue to fill in across the region. The latest accumulation outlook shows a solid 4–6 inches finishing west and southwest of the Richmond metro, while much of the Richmond area…
