Over 50 million people across the eastern half of the United States remain under winter weather alerts to start the week. Snow is falling across the Washington, DC, and Baltimore metro areas (potentially ending a multi-year ‘snow drought’). Meanwhile, meteorologists are already monitoring another round of potential winter storm threats by late week.
The National Weather Service’s Weather Prediction Center shows the “major winter storm” pounding the Mid-Atlantic region today will be followed by dangerously cold temperatures across the central and eastern US.
With the cold air in place, several meteorologists are already seeing increasing confidence in models that show a winter storm potentially developing around the Texas area by Thursday into Friday.
“Confidence is increasing in a potential Winter storm for the Thursday into Friday time frame, as it appears all of the ingredients are coming together,” Oklahoma/Texas local TV station KXII News 12’s Brian Briggs wrote on X.

I have a weather prediction…
I predict that the sun will begin to rise early in the morning, followed by daylight until it starts getting dark. I further predict nightfall after that and a repeating pattern….
Geesh… it’s winter. It gets cold and even (gulp) snows a bit sometimes.
We will all survive, but in case anyone needs a reality check, pray for those poor people out west and the fires that are raging. That is definitely an emergency.
no school for 2 more weeks
News flash………………………………It’s January and January is called the winter season.
