Reinforcing Arctic Front Brings Light Snow and Sets Up Dangerous Cold Through Early Week

Forecasters say the deeper risk is a bitter Arctic plunge bringing subzero wind chills early next week.

Overview

  • Light to moderate snow is expected Saturday from the Mid-Atlantic into New England, with 1–3 inches common and 4–5 inches in higher New Hampshire terrain, before tapering by late day.
  • The National Weather Service issued a Winter Weather Advisory from 5 a.m. to noon Saturday for Dauphin, Lancaster, Lebanon and York counties in Pennsylvania, warning of slick untreated roads with improvement by afternoon.
  • The Baltimore region faces two rounds of wintry weather, with a brief burst of morning snow changing to rain Saturday and a coastal system on Sunday that may brush the area with a dusting mainly south and east.
  • A marginal setup could allow snow near the Florida–Georgia line around Tallahassee early Sunday, with a trace to 3 inches possible if colder timing holds, though forecasters say brief flakes are more likely over south Georgia.
  • A reinforcing blast of Arctic air trails the snow, driving wind chills below zero by Sunday in parts of the Ohio Valley and into the negative teens to near -20° in Metro Detroit by early Tuesday.
