<p>It's looking like some of the coldest air of the season heading this way. And it could be pretty wide-reaching. But it's still a ways away - here's what we know and don't know so far. </p><h1>SETUP</h1><p>A cut-off low and a larger trough look like they're going to interact later this week. Kinda like the double bounce on a trampoline, this will give some BRUTALLY cold air an added kick. </p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/01/Screenshot 2025-01-13 104631-1736791315147.jpg"></p><h1>COLD</h1><p>Temperatures this far out look like a sure bet to get cooler than average. The question is HOW much colder. Some models have some jaw-dropping possibilities, where some locations could visit -20° to -30°. The Climate Prediction Center has the entire lower 48 below average January 19-23. </p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/01/Screenshot 2025-01-13 104644-1736790892814.jpg">While it's nasty cold, it doesn't appear to be threatening any record lows at the moment. But it might threaten sanity if someone's trying to forecast snowfall amounts this far in advance...</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/01/Screenshot 2025-01-13 104447-1736791301114.jpg"></p><h1>SNOW..?</h1><p>If it's going to be this cold, it might as well snow, right? All we need is a well-placed disturbance and we'll be cooking. With a big trough like this, that will be more than enough to generate some snow. But where and when the best dynamics will be moving through is as clear as mud. </p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/01/Screenshot 2025-01-13 104459-1736791524185.jpg">Here's one model's attempt at things. </p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/01/2025-01-13 11-08-11-1736791733526.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><p>As always, check back with us throughout the week. Often times what looks like a dramatic cooldown can soften as we get closer to the event. Disturbances slow down and phase better with better ingredients. Time will tell.</p><p></p>

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.

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!

<p>Western New York experienced mild weather in December, with little influx of the bitterly cold air that usually triggers lake-effect snowfall. However, as we roll through January, cooler air continues to move across the Great Lakes. Despite this, the Great Lakes still lack significant ice coverage due to the persistent warmth. This has led to more lake effect snow, including a persistent band of snow which has already dropped 3+ feet in portions of New York, with more on the way to end the weekend.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/01/Screenshot 2025-01-04 072729-1736001272436.png"></p><p>The last time portions of New York, Ohio, and Michigan were covered in feet of snow was during Thanksgiving and the following couple of weeks.
