A massive storm system that has dumped snow from California to New York and created severe weather across the South is now pulling an artic air mass toward the Central Plains. Looking at the computer model image above, places like Bismarck, North Dakota can expect highs in the “single” digits and minus-7 degree overnight lows. The frigid airmass is stretching as far south as Amarillo, Texas. Here’s a link to an Associated Press article on the impacts of this storm as it moved across the country this week.

 

Southern states like Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia that reached the 70s this week will drop down to the 50s and even 40s in some places.

 

Snow continues to fall across the Great Lakes and Northeast as the low continues its eastward march.
