WOOF! The Northeast got rocked over the weekend with some heavy snow! Snowfall totals reached from 20"-30" across portions of the Northeast. This is the biggest snowstorm to impact the area in several years, and we are adding the extreme cold on top of it! <div class="twitter-tweet" style="display: flex; justify-content: center" data-twitt-post-id="2015530118484046130" src="https://x.com/WeatherNation/status/2015530118484046130"></div>First off, WINTER STORM WARNINGS &amp; WINTER WEATHER ADVISORIES remain in place across the east and Great Lakes, even areas where the wintry precipitation has wrapped up, icy roads with the bone-chilling cold will linger for the start of the week.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/01/ne alertsss-1769452579454.png"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/01/lessssss-1769452603927.png">Behind the coldest air of the season this past weekend, another clipper system is going to usher in more cold. This means most of the Eastern U.S. stays below average, as we have seen many times this season, that cold air streams across the mostly open Great Lakes waters, continuing to fuel some lake effect snow. Bursts of convective snow showers (snow squalls) will be possible across the Northeast.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/01/nflsss-1769452713247.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>Major metro areas will feel overnight temperatures in the single digits, like Boston or even colder, most of the week!<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/01/7-day-1769432599048.png">For more details on the Central U.S., be sure to join us :30 past the hour, for more details on the northeast, be sure to join us :10 past the hour.

Alright this weekend was brutal! If you didn't feel the cold you for sure hear stories as a massive Winter storm moved across the Nation impacting 40 states. A story that will be remembered. As the storm system itself moves out of the lower 48 today, here is the kicker... another low brings a reinforcing shot of cold to areas trying to clean up and restore power after this weekend. <h1>The North</h1>Cold weather alerts continue to be in effect widespread Monday morning and for some this cold will last most of the week! <img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/01/RV2-1769430726722.png"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/01/Web3-1769431209058.png">It was cold enough to break records across the northern U.S., Saturday and Sunday &amp; by Monday AM wind chill values were dangerous once again being felt across the Northern Plains. Meteorologist Alana Cameron spoke to the National Weather Service in Duluth, MN, about the upcoming cold:<div data-youtube-video=""><iframe width="640" height="480" allowfullscreen="false" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/8gzSxDH1u5I" start="0"></iframe></div>Wind chills will continue to be cold across the northeast on Monday morning, as well. Temperatures for Washington D.C. will feel like 8° Monday morning.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/01/web3-1769423917341.png"><h1>The South</h1>This dangerous cold will also make its way into the southern United States. Cold weather alerts have been issued from Kansas through the Gulf Coast.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/01/web4-1769424033417.png">The north may be more used to the colder air, but the south will also be experiencing dangerously cold temperatures. Some cities won't make it out of the single digits. Many will even stay below freezing for the next few days, making it more difficult for icy roadways to thaw out.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/01/web6-1769424151949.png">Wind chill values Monday morning will drop below zero across many southern cities.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/01/web5-1769424077830.png">Reminder to keep yourself bundled up to the max heading into the late week! Frostbite can occur in mere minutes when the wind chill values get below -42 degrees! It's important to limit your skin exposure to the elements during this time as well!<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/01/web8-1768835305901.png">Make sure you stay tuned to WeatherNation for the latest on these temperatures, and how we can keep YOU safe through these frigid temperatures!

A rare winter storm has been impacting parts of the South, Midwest, and Northeast. It has brought a combination of snow, sleet, and freezing rain to areas that typically do not experience wintry precipitation. &nbsp;Winter Alerts are in place for this system as it continues to move through. Snowfall totals across the northeast have reached up to 20.0" inches in portions of Pennsylvania, and more snow will be possible through Tuesday.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/01/web1-1769422840564.png"><h1>Forecast Timing</h1>This system is now moving to the Northeast and will bring periods of heavy rain. The low will lift through Monday, and by Tuesday, most should be clear except in Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, and portions of New York. Please use caution if traveling.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/01/2026-01-26 05-21-41-1769422928586.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><h1>Forecast Ice</h1>The south has already seen freezing rain and snow, impacting travel, and now we are seeing impacts across portions of the Carolinas and Virginia. By Monday morning, some more light ice accumulation is possible throughout the day. Totals will likely not get too much higher than .1".<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/01/web1-1769423290323.png"><h1>Forecast Snow &amp; Sleet</h1>Areas around New England are set to see the heaviest of the snow. However, a lot of the north east is expected to see snow throughout your Monday. The heaviest totals could measure up to 4"-5" in some cases. This on top of the feet of snow already on the ground in some areas, could pose tricky travel conditions. Make sure to give yourself a little extra time if you're hitting the roadways, although if you can avoid it, please do so.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/01/web2-1769423323353.png">For More on this system, tune into our eastern regional forecast :10 past the hour.

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.

For much of this winter season, the Southwestern United States has been under the influence of a large, blocking ridge of high pressure. This ridge has sent storms well to the north, keeping the southwest dry and warm. While a few soaking systems helped push drought conditions out of California, the Four Corners have been seeing drought conditions worsen with snow pack rivaling the worst on record (snow pack records date back about 40 years).<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/01/Screenshot 2026-01-22 130618-1769112396676.png">A wet storm system has moved in from the Pacific bringing heavy rain and snow back to these parched locations. Winter weather alerts remain in place for portions of New Mexico and Arizona lasting through Sunday morning.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/01/web1-1769341115291.png">The worst of this low is definitely behind us by Sunday morning rainfall-wise. What's left is some residual snowfall that'll bring some decent totals across New Mexico throughout the day.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/01/2026-01-25 06-38-54-1769341154993.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>Some totals will still measure close to 6" in some areas like near Alamogordo, New Mexico. Rainfall totals still may reach half an inch in some spots in southern Arizona and New Mexico. However, most of this precipitation should be on it's way out by Sunday afternoon.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/01/web2-1769341262273.png">Get the latest forecast for the Western U.S. anytime with the WeatherNation app by pulling up the regional forecast section, or tuning in to WeatherNationTV at :50 past the hour.

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!

Sub-freezing temperatures made their way into the South and Southeast once again Sunday into Monday, with lows in the 30s as far south as South Florida! Temperatures Monday morning (above) dropped down to 25 for Jacksonville, FL and 28 in Atlanta, GA.These chilly temps were cold enough to stun cold-blooded Iguanas, which are an invasive species.<div class="twitter-tweet" style="display: flex; justify-content: center" data-twitt-post-id="2012155375894806776" src="https://x.com/WeatherNation/status/2012155375894806776"></div>Freeze Alerts remain through Tuesday morning. These are typically issued at the start or end of the growing season, but in the case of Florida, the growing season is a little more ambiguous. These have been issued because frost and freeze conditions could kill crops and other sensitive vegetation, and possibly damage unprotected outdoor plumbing.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/01/Web1-1768904370694.png">Temperatures by mid to late week will return closer to normal for overnight lows.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2026/01/Web2-1768904517103.png">

A cold front and strong daytime temperatures will lead to increasing storms today and some of those storms will likely be severe.  All modes of severe weather are in the forecast including the risk of isolated tornadoes.  Here is the very latest.
<h1>Severe Outlook</h1>
<img class="alignnone wp-image-108920 size-full" src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2019/06/7day3-2.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" />

From Texas to Minnesota and East into the Ohio Valley, severe storms are in the forecast today.  Horrible timing for Father's Day Weekend, so please be on alert if you are going to be outdoors today.
<h1>Severe Risks</h1>

&nbsp;

Isolated tornadoes, large hail and damaging winds will be possible in these areas.  The tornado risk will not be as widespread as the risk for hail and damaging winds, but if you are going to be in Wichita, St. Louis or Waterloo be ready for a quick tornado warning being issued later today.
