Another Arctic Blast in the East; Eastern U.S. Winter Storm

A powerful Arctic blast will bring dangerously cold, record low temperatures to the upper Ohio Valley, Mid-Atlantic, Gulf Coast and Southeast U.S. this weekend. A rapidly deepening storm will produce widespread heavy snow and wind from the southern Appalachians across the Carolinas and southern Virginia into Sunday. Storm-force winds and coastal flooding will be possible along the East Coast. Read More >

Very cold wind chills, as low as 21°, are expected across the northern Coastal Plains and Victoria Crossroads late tonight into Saturday morning. Please remember to bundle up if you need to go outside.
A Freeze Watch is in effect for late Saturday night into Sunday morning as temperatures likely fall as low as 23°F over inland portions of South Texas. Although winds will be light, wind chill values may reach the upper teens over inland Victoria Crossroads and to the mid-20s elsewhere. Remember to protect your people, pets, plants, and pipes.
A cold front early this morning will lead to much cooler temperatures through Sunday morning, coldest air will be in place early Sunday morning with low temperatures ranging from the upper 20s to mid 30s. However, all locations will likely feel below freezing wind chills. Temperatures warm up Sunday afternoon as onshore flow returns.
It'll be cloudy and breezy at beaches today, with northerly winds of 20-25 mph. Highs will be in the mid 50s with wave heights of 2-5 feet.
Colder tonight as skies clear and winds become light and variable. Temperatures will drop near freezing over the northern counties from La Salle to Victoria, and to the mid-upper 30s elsewhere. No rain chances as moisture will be well-below normal.
After a chilly weekend with freezing conditions inland early Sunday morning, temperatures will warm as we head into the middle of next week, with highs back in the 60s to 70s. Onshore flow will enhance moisture, bringing low rain chances over the Coastal Plains Tuesday and Wednesday.
