Fast Moving Arctic Blast To Send New England Into -10s, -20s Tonight, Great Pattern For California

Written by on January 4, 2016 in United States of America, Winter 2015/16 with 0 Comments

For the first time this season arctic air has descended over the Northeast today presenting the first single digits highs over parts of northern New England with widespread 20s and 30s.

Fresh snow cover and thicknesses down to 510 over much of the interior Northeast will make for a cold night under clear sky and light wind. Even the Major I-95 cities could dip into the upper 10s.

This of course is in stark contrast to December’s warmth.

The current arctic blast kicks out fast as a highly active West Coast storm track pushes the Plains ridge east and kicks the cold out into the Atlantic.

This is a great pattern for California and Southwest.
