The weather pattern the next several days is summarized with an amplifying
jet stream pattern across North America. Along and east of the Mississippi
River, an Arctic air-mass is expected to usher in cold temperatures and
blustery conditions this weekend. Numerous Freeze Watches and Warnings
have been posted from the Midwest to the Northeast with record low
temperatures possible over the weekend, most notably Saturday morning. In
addition to the winter-like temperatures, parts of the Great Lakes,
Appalachians, and Northeast will witness wintry precipitation Friday
evening and into Saturday as a surface low pressure system rapidly
intensifies off the New England coast Saturday morning. Snow could fall
heavily at times with several inches of accumulating snowfall possible in
the northern and central Appalachians. Temperatures will moderate slightly
but remain well below normal across much of the eastern U.S. on Mother's
Day.
