Part 1/7:
Preparing for a Major Arctic Outbreak: What to Expect
As we approach the weekend, a significant Arctic outbreak is set to impact much of the continental United States. Starting from Saturday into Sunday, the cold front will push deeper into the Lower 48 states, bringing with it a wave of heavy snow and ice storms across various regions.
The forecast indicates that temperatures will plummet into the teens and 20s Fahrenheit, creating a persistent freeze that is unlikely to lift until around mid-January. The potential for heavy snowfall will follow shortly after the initial impact, as we could see another system moving in from January 7th to the 14th, complicating travel plans and daily routines.
