Very Cold Weather




Temperatures

An anomalous Arctic air mass descended on much of the eastern two-thirds of the United States on January 6 and 7, 2014. Despite the very cold air throughout the depth of the atmosphere, even colder readings were not realized at the ground because of persistent winds and a lack of deep snow pack in much of the area. To maximize cooling at night, typically clear skies, calm winds, and deep snow pack are most efficient. Nevertheless, the air mass was cold enough to produce record low temperatures. Depending on location, the temperatures were the lowest since other cold outbreaks in 2011, 2009, or 1994.

Wind Chills

The other main story was the brutally cold wind chill caused by persistent 15-30 MPH winds. Most locations saw wind chills between -25 and -40 degrees Fahrenheit, warranting the first Wind Chill Warning issued by NWS Wilmington since 2009. At the major airports, the wind chill readings were the coldest since January 1994, and about 15 degrees off the all-time record low wind chill values.
