Joe Lundberg for a look at what's to come in the week ahead. Joe. Well, I
00:04
think that we're gonna have to deal with more art together. There's a
00:06
little bit of a respite from it this weekend behind the storm. When it
00:10
darts off the North Carolina coast, you'll see a little easing of the cold,
00:13
but it's going to be brief in nature. There's more to come and subsequent
00:17
waves. That's one of our three things to know. In fact, we'll talk about the
00:20
Santa Ana winds. There's more concern for that to return or at least not
00:25
completely go away through the weekend into the early part of next week. I
00:29
think there will be some abatement of that later next week. Cold but mainly
00:33
dry from the Mississippi Valley to the northeast. They're just gonna be
00:35
another push of Arctic air, maybe a little colder than it has been. Believe
00:39
it or not, there is a storm threat, though, that we're gonna be talking
00:42
about. Always looking over the horizon for storms and a link to look like the
00:45
next one. Melissa will be sometime between the 17th and the 20th. Let's go
00:48
back to Southern California right now. Notice this area here. Southern
00:51
County. This is obviously where we've had the wildfires over the past several
00:54
days. This area is now back into a severe drought. I mean, it wasn't all
00:58
that long ago that we had no drought conditions in California, but this is
01:01
obviously gotten much worse over the past several months because of a lack
01:05
of rain so far during the course of the winter season. This area and with that
01:10
upper level low pressure area dropping southward late this weekend into early
01:14
next week, there's a concern that there may be a period of time when the winds
01:17
renew offshore and that could exacerbate the ongoing fire conditions.
01:22
The rest of the picture. You can see that there's an upper level ridge of
01:25
high pressure here over the Rockies, which means mild and dry weather for
01:28
you trying to come out into the plains for time during the second half of next
01:32
week. But the dip in the jet stream in the east means more cold, dry weather
01:36
temperatures well below average in these areas. And as that cold air comes
01:39
across the Great Lakes, you guessed it. There'll be some lake effect snow,
01:42
Melissa, but obviously with cold in store for us, it means probably our
01:47
winter threats are not over. We are not done with it. I showed you that upper
01:50
level low in the southwest. Well, it's gonna move with time and we think late
01:54
next week it will come through the southern Rockies and out into the
01:57
southern Plains and cause low pressure to develop. The question is, does it
02:00
move in this fashion? Does it move in this fashion? The answer is still
02:04
unknown right now, but with cold air banked up to the north of it,
02:07
somebody's gonna get some snow from it. The concern would be is that the first
02:11
initial low pressure area goes up toward the Great Lakes and then moves
02:13
off to the eastern seaboard. Maybe it leaves behind a front in here and a
02:17
second wave comes up along it. If that's the case, then you probably see
02:21
some snow and ice around the 19th and 20th in these areas. So it's an open
02:25
ended picture right now, but that's the concern that we have with that
02:29
period. One thing I want to leave you with, though, is that beyond that storm
02:32
system, no matter what happens with it in terms of snow and ice, guess what?
02:36
There's gonna be yet another round of Arctic air, at least through the 19th
02:40
to the 23rd, and I'm concerned it lasts even longer than that before finally
02:43
some relief from the cold at the end of the month. Don't put away those winter
02:48
parkas just yet. You will need them in the eastern tier of the nation. Aggie
02:53
weather expert, long range expert Joe Lundberg here. Thanks again for joining
02:56
us.
