January 18 2018

The arctic air is in place and has a tight grip on the eastern US. The freezing line made it south of Houston and Orlando! But this time it will be moving out. Even with some snow cover, we should reach the 30s today and then start the warm up. The jet stream will be realizing for a bit giving us a few warming trends starting with this weekend. Winter is not done, but we will get a break as the next weather event should be rain early next week.
