<ul><li>Friday the 13th</li><li>Valentine's Day</li><li>Mardi Gras Weekend</li><li>President's Day</li></ul>If you're looking for a weekend to celebrate, look no further. There's a little something for everyone starting Friday. We've got a storm system that brings the same vibe: a little bit of everything.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/02/Screenshot 2026-02-09 142026-1770672059880.png"><h1>WINTER</h1>Falling snow can be romantic, right? The way this system looks like it might be built, however, could raise some issues. While the threat of significant snow will be there for some, most might get a bit of a wintry mess: going from snow to sleet to rain as temperatures warm. Timing is still up in the air and could change how this unfolds this weekend.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/02/2026-02-10 06-03-27-1770721450737.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><h1>STORMS</h1>With warm weather building in the south, this could turn into more of a strong storm threat. While the system looks dynamic enough to provide the lift, it will need some other ingredients to talk about damaging winds or hail. Right now, it's just a bit too soon to talk about.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/02/web1-1770721592240.png">It does look like the rain could be slow enough to move out of the area, so a flooding threat will be something to watch for this weekend.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/02/Screenshot 2026-02-09 140957-1770671487840.png"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/02/web2-1770721672861.png"><h1>CHANGES</h1>We've gotten used to seeing these storm systems unlocking and driving the Arctic air well to the south. That doesn't look like the case with this one. The jet stream winds will primarily be west to east, which will keep the dangerously cold temperatures locked up north. So at least there's that to think about as your elaborate weekend plans fall apart from this active weather...<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/02/Screenshot 2026-02-09 080720-1770649655875.jpg">

Taban Sharifi grew up in Southern California between Los Angeles and San Diego. She is a Certified Broadcast Meteorologist (CBM) with the American Meteorological Society (AMS). She has a B.S. in Atmospheric, Oceanic, and Environmental Sciences with a minor in Environmental Systems and Society from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Go Bruins! While in school, Taban was a meteorology intern with NBC LA. There she helped forecast daily weather for the greater Los Angeles region and created a playbook to deploy weather sensors for NBC owned-and-operated stations across the country. Her first on-air job took her to San Angelo, Texas, where she was a morning meteorologist and co-anchor. Working in West Texas gave her knowledge and experience covering severe storms. From there, she moved to Palm Springs, California. People think forecasting in California is sunshine all the time, but with temperatures in the 120’s, wildfires, damaging winds, floodings, and earthquakes, the forecasting kept her very busy! She also worked there as a general assignment reporter and told community stories. Taban is excited for the challenge and opportunity to forecast nationally with WeatherNation. She also looks forward to exploring all that Colorado has to offer!

It was another cold morning on Monday across the Northeast. Many cities across the Northeast hit below zero for the air temperature! Dubois, PA broke its record low temperature for the morning, getting down to -9°.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/02/Screenshot 2026-02-09 081947-1770650390845.png">There will be some improvement with overnight lows getting closer to seasonal by midweek.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/02/Screenshot 2026-02-09 174938-1770684583296.png"><h1>Where does this year's cold rank?</h1>While it has been a cold winter, many colder winters have occurred in the history of weather observations in the Eastern U.S. Most of these areas have weather data dating back to the 1800s, so ranking in the bottom half or even bottom quarter is still impressive.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/02/Screenshot 2026-02-06 094753-1770397848980.png">As we look ahead, temperatures will remain below average. In New York City, expect temperatures to be in the 30s this week.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/02/fjfjfssssss-1770664602935.png">More details on your Eastern Regional Forecast can be found :10 past the hour on WeatherNation.

Alana Cameron was born and raised in Canada in the city of Mississauga, just outside of Toronto. Alana is the oldest of 4 siblings, all close in age, and grew up playing outside with them in all types of weather. After graduating high school, Alana moved to study at the University of British Columbia in Kelowna for a year before transferring to Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia where she completed a Bachelor of Science in Physics and Atmospheric Science. Upon completion, Alana moved back to Toronto where she completed a post-grad degree in Meteorology at York University. After her post-grad, she went on to complete another post-grad in Broadcast Journalism - TV News at Fanshawe College in London, Ontario. During her final year of studies she had the privilege of interning with the best in the business in Canada at The Weather Network. Once she finished her internship, she got the call from small-town Denison, Texas where she accepted a job as an on-air meteorologist at KTEN-TV, right in tornado alley, covering severe weather from Sherman/Denison (North Texas) to Ada (Southern Oklahoma). After the most active tornado season Oklahoma had seen in May 2019 (105 tornadoes!) Alana is excited to join WeatherNation to cover weather all across the nation. If you're interested in following her on social media she can be found @alanacameronwx!

It was a hot day on Monday, February 9th in the Central Plains with many locations breaking record high temperatures for this date in time. Some of these locations include spots like Sioux City, Iowa, which not only broke a daily record high, but they also had their warmest temperatures this early in the year.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/02/Screenshot 2026-02-09 174203-1770684273700.png">Temperatures are expected to drop on Tuesday but they'll still be above-average across the northern Plains.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/02/Screenshot 2026-02-09 135952-1770671000646.png">The warming temperatures will mean impacts from melting snow and ice, particularly where ice jams become a hazard. A flood watch remains in effect for eastern Nebraska for ice jam flood potential.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/02/Screenshot 2026-02-09 140356-1770671044246.png">Another side-effect of the warmer weather is wildfire concerns. As winds kick up to 20-30 mph, areas of eastern New Mexico and the panhandles of Oklahoma and Texas need to be mindful of grass fire ignitions. Anything that gets going could spread quickly, as dry as this area has been recently. The Storm Prediction Center is highlighting these areas with CRITICAL fire weather conditions overnight.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/02/Screenshot 2026-02-09 140007-1770671068295.png">For the latest forecast in your region, head to the WeatherNation app to watch anytime, or tune in at :10, :30, and :50 past the hour from east to west!

The championship of the National Football League is set to be decided this Sunday. The Seattle Seahawks will face the New England Patriots for the right to claim the title at 3:30 PM PT Sunday.

Forecasts point to a mild and comfortable setup, with temperatures expected to settle into the upper 50s to near 60 degrees around kickoff. While it may cool slightly as the evening goes on, conditions should remain pleasant enough for fans in the stands with a light jacket.&nbsp;<h3>PATTERN BREAKING DOWN</h3><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/02/web4-1770549373360.png">Skies are expected to feature a mix of sun and clouds throughout the day, with cloud cover increasing later in the afternoon and evening. A marine influence could allow for some low clouds or patchy fog nearby, but widespread visibility issues or major weather disruptions are not anticipated at this time. Any moisture in the area appears limited, keeping the chance for rain low during game time.&nbsp;If you plan on attending any of the pregame festivities this week before the game kicks off, no issues at all either.Winds are also forecast to stay relatively light, which is good news for both players and spectators. Without strong gusts or cold air moving in, the weather should have little impact on gameplay or travel to and from the stadium.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/02/big gamesss-1770574456964.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>Overall, the big game forecast is shaping up to be a good one, weather-wise.

Rob grew up in South Florida, where daily afternoon storms and hurricanes piqued his interest in meteorology early on. That interest was fostered by his teachers and his father, who one time brought him onto the roof of their home to watch a funnel cloud move through the Everglades several miles away. Years of filmmaking and tv production in high school gradually pushed him toward broadcast meteorology at Florida State University, where he joined and eventually led the student run daily weather show. After graduating with a Bachelors of Science in Meteorology, he began his career at KESQ in Palm Springs, California before heading to KFSN in Fresno and WLOS in Asheville, North Carolina. He has covered a diverse array of extreme weather events, including haboobs and flash flooding in the desert, extreme snow in the Sierra, hurricanes, and Appalachian ice storms. He also enjoys telling stories and reporting about weather issues.

Snow blew through much of the Northeastern United States on Friday, dropping between 1-6 inches from Indiana to Virginia. As the low pressure system slowly exits New England on Saturday, additional snow is expected to pile up. Some locations in Massachusetts already picked up near a foot of snow with several more inches expected by sunset.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/02/1-1770493198909.png">While most winter weather alerts already expired Saturday morning, alerts in New England will last through tonight, including the winter storm warning for areas like Gloucester. An additional 2-4 inches of snow are possible.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/02/New Baron Video 3-1770493415461.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/02/1-1770493462363.png">Get the latest forecast for the Eastern U.S. at :10 past the hour on air, or use the WeatherNation app to watch the latest anytime.
