Extreme Weather for Feb 20

Good evening,

Yet another blast of arctic air will sweep across the Midwest and Northeast this weekend with record breaking temperatures in many areas.

Millions from Chicago to New York will experience extremely harsh winter conditions with the worst part of the cold concentrating mainly over the eastern states through Friday. Even those cities in the southeast that normally escape brutal temperatures will feel the unrelenting wrath of this winter with cities from Birmingham into Atlanta seeing the lowest temperatures in a few years.

The severity of the arctic chill will even be felt in Florida where some cities will tap into the 30s with feels like temperatures not surpassing the upper 20s. Government officials have placed various warnings and advisories throughout the sunshine state and are asking residents to take all necessary precautions to keep safe as temperatures this low can be very dangerous and life threatening.

As the weekend progresses, temperatures are expected to gradually increase ahead of a storm system that has the potential of bringing a wintry mix across the Midwest and Northeast.

 

Stay safe!
