Polar vortex to bring bone-chilling cold, potential snowstorm to Interstate 95 corridor

Polar vortex to bring bone-chilling cold, potential snowstorm to Interstate 95 corridor

Current forecast models show the circulation of the Polar Vortex weakening later this week into the weekend. As this occurs, cold air is expected to spread across much of the Central and Eastern U.S. With cold air in place, a batch of energy is also projected to move out of the Northwest as a dip in the jet stream begins to intensify. As this system moves east, it could bring snow from the Midwest into the Northeast. With cold air forecast along the I-95 corridor, including Philadelphia, New York City, and Boston, the first significant snow of the season is possible if all the ingredients come together. However, there is still considerable uncertainty regarding the timing of this system.
