ARCTIC BLAST THREATENS COLD RECORDS ACROSS EAST U.S., INCLUDING 145-YEAR LOW IN PHILLY
Winter is making a comeback across the Eastern half of the CONUS this week. Chilly temperatures settled in Sunday for many, but as the new week progresses, tens of millions of America’s should expect recording breaking lows.
Sunday night through Monday morning will see a brutal Arctic air mass spill down out of Canada. This mass of cold will deliver a Winter’s Revenge across the Midwest, the South and the Northeast, and will see hard freezes impact many growing regions.
The National Park Service says the “magic number” for the Cherry Blossoms is 27F, and that even if temperatures dip below that for just a few hours it could cause enough damage to bring peak bloom to a premature end.
By sunrise Monday, widespread 20s are expected across the Northeast, with many regions dipping into the teens: “We’re talking about the polar vortex moving right across the Northeast,” said senior AccuWeather meteorologist John Feerick.
