Snow and cold forecast for Great Lakes, Northeast

An icy Arctic air mass is expected to bring freezing temperatures to the eastern United States this weekend, coinciding with the first day of winter (and the shortest day of the year).

Subzero wind chills are expected over the Great Lakes and the Northeast, while the Southeast will see temperatures around 15 to 20 degrees, according to the National Weather Service. Temperatures will fall to their lowest levels ever in some areas this winter.

In addition to the freezing temperatures, parts of the Northeast will see snow through early Saturday. AccuWeather forecasters noted there is a good chance the snow will stick around at least part of the region until Christmas morning.

“Conditions around New York City are difficult,” said AccuWeather meteorologist Bernie Rayno. “You can get up to an inch or two of snowpack from the Klipper storm, maybe even a little more if the coastal storm moves further west, the Klipper storm remains active, or they are in a rip-off where nothing is coming few storms.

However, the Climate Prediction Center says the cold snap is expected to be short-lived. A map released by the center on Friday forecasts above-average temperatures for most of the country after Christmas.
