Arctic Blast Follows East Coast Snow as Storm Track Shifts Toward New England

An Arctic outbreak will drive sub-zero wind chills from the Midwest to the Northeast early this week.

Overview

  • Snow from the Mid-Atlantic to New England brought generally 1 to 3 inches, with 3 to 5 inches along parts of the coast as the coastal low tracked closer than some earlier forecasts.
  • Flight disruptions mounted over the holiday weekend with more than 2,700 delays and over 340 cancellations, led by New York’s major airports and a ground delay at Newark.
  • The National Weather Service issued a Winter Weather Advisory for Southeast Michigan through Tuesday morning, calling for 1 to 3 inches of snow, gusts up to 45 mph, and hazardous travel.
  • Dangerous cold will intensify Monday into Tuesday, with wind chills of 20 to 35 below zero in parts of the Upper Midwest and sub-zero values across the Great Lakes and Northeast.
  • Lake-effect and clipper snows are set to continue, with 6 to 12 inches possible in western Michigan, Pennsylvania and western New York, and localized 2 to 3 feet on New York’s Tug Hill Plateau.
