THE SOUTHEAST THROUGH TUESDAY, BEFORE MILDER CONDITIONS MOVE IN...
...A FRONTAL SYSTEM WILL BRING LIGHT WINTRY PRECIPITATION TO PARTS
OF THE MID-ATLANTIC, AND RAIN/THUNDERSTORMS IN THE SOUTHEAST
MID-WEEK...
...A SERIES OF CLIPPER SYSTEMS WILL BRING SNOW TO PARTS OF THE

IN THE SOUTHEAST AND FLORIDA, COLD TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO
CONTINUE THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING FOLLOWING THE DEPARTURE OF THE
INTENSE SYSTEM OF LOW PRESSURE AFFECTING THE MID-ATLANTIC OVER THE
WEEKEND. TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO REACH BELOW FREEZING AGAIN
IN PARTS OF NORTHEAST FLORIDA AND SOUTHEAST GEORGIA OVERNIGHT
TONIGHT, WITH LOWS IN THE MID 20S TO LOW 30S. FREEZE WARNINGS ARE
CURRENTLY IN EFFECT FOR THE MAJORITY OF FLORIDA AND PARTS OF
SOUTHERN GEORGIA FROM NOW UNTIL TUESDAY MORNING. AFTERWARDS, A
RELATIVELY MILDER TREND IS FORECAST TO MOVE INTO THE REGION BY
WEDNESDAY, HOWEVER, TEMPERATURES WILL CONTINUE TO REMAIN BELOW
NORMAL FOR EARLY FEBRUARY FOR MUCH OF THE SOUTHEAST. MEANWHILE
FURTHER NORTH IN THE MID-ATLANTIC, NORTHEAST, AND GREAT LAKES
REGIONS, TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED TO MODERATE SLIGHTLY ON
TUESDAY, BEFORE THE ARRIVAL OF ANOTHER ARCTIC AIR MASS MOVES IN BY
WEDNESDAY AND REINFORCES COLDER TEMPERATURES.
A SERIES OF ALBERTA CLIPPERS WILL FORM IN THE NORTHERN PLAINS AND
BRING PERIODS OF LIGHT SNOW/WINTRY MIX ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS
FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. LIGHT SNOW WILL ALSO BE FOUND ACROSS
THE GREAT LAKES TODAY IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE LEAD CLIPPER SYSTEM
FOLLOWED BY THE ARRIVAL OF AN ARCTIC FRONT ON TUESDAY. MEANWHILE,
THE NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS WILL EXPERIENCE INCREASINGLY ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPERATURES DUE TO CLEARING SKIES AND DOWNSLOPING WINDS AS THE
CLIPPERS TRACK EASTWARD. OTHERWISE, THE WESTERN HALF OF THE UNITED
STATES WILL REMAIN RELATIVELY CALM, WITH ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES
EXPECTED THROUGHOUT THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
BEGINNING LATE ON MONDAY NIGHT, AN AMPLIFYING UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH
IS EXPECTED TO AID IN THE GENERATION OF A SURFACE FRONTAL SYSTEM,
ORIGINATING IN THE LEE OF THE CENTRAL/SOUTHERN ROCKIES. THE FRONT
IS FORECAST TO MOVE THROUGH THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND REACH THE
LOWER MISSISSIPPI BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON. IT IS THEN EXPECTED TO
CONTINUE ITS PROGRESSION INTO THE SOUTHEAST BY TUESDAY EVENING
THROUGH WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. PRECIPITATION IN THE FORM OF RAIN AND
THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED WITH THIS SETUP THROUGHOUT THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS AND THEN THE SOUTHEAST ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY
RESPECTIVELY, BEFORE THE SYSTEM MOVES INTO THE ATLANTIC. FURTHER
NORTH, IN THE MID-ATLANTIC, PRECIPITATION IN THE FORM OF LIGHT
SNOW/WINTRY MIX IS POSSIBLE. GIVEN THE QUICK PROGRESSION OF THE
SYSTEM HOWEVER, ANY ACCUMULATION OF SNOW IS ANTICIPATED TO REMAIN
LOW THROUGHOUT THE MID-ATLANTIC, WITH WIDESPREAD ACCUMULATIONS
EXPECTED NOT TO EXCEED AN INCH.
