Winter's Coldest on the Way

The Siberian Express is on the way to the US with a nasty snow storm in front of it. Models and Mets are starting to catch up to this winter storm. That will produce a large swath of 4-8 inch some higher amounts of wind blown snows from the Central Plains east to the Ohio and tennessee Valley then into the Mid Atlantic. This snow will be combined with falling temperatures and winds gusting over 35mph. As the coldest temperatures in over a decade works its way in the US east of the Rockies

This will be a wind whipped snow storm with temperatures falling through the teens. As visibilities will be reduced to near zero at times with wind chills dipping below zero. This is a very dangerous winter storm and the dangerous will continue after the snowfall starts. With temperatures falling well below zero in many hours of the Plains and even into the Ohio and Tennessee valley.  Orange crops in southern Texas and especially Florida are in big trouble. Temperatures by Friday and Saturday night could be well into the middle 20s are far south as central Florida. Hope Mickey Mouse has Minnie or a nice sweater to kick him warm.

Records will fall and Mickey mouse will be shivering.


Have a great Evening!  Justin
