The last weeks of January are likely to see snow, ice, and rain as a blast of arctic air pounces on the Midwest and the eastern U.S., the AccuWeather.com report said.
But take heart, there will be a warming trend that may allow temperatures to get back to "near average" by the end of the month, AccuWeather.com reported.
"You don't need bitterly cold air for it to snow, just cold enough, within a few degrees of freezing," AccuWeather Chief Long-Range Meteorologist Paul Pastelok said. "We expect temperatures to settle near average during late January in the Midwest and much of the East, which is cold enough for snow."
While the exact timing and track of storms, which will determine who gets snow versus rain, can be uncertain several days out, there are indications that the pattern will yield more snow opportunities during late January.
"If we look at the overall pattern, there is likely to be a major storm or two with a chance at bringing substantial accumulating snow to portions of the Ohio Valley, I-95 corridor of the mid-Atlantic and southern New England during the third and fourth week of the month," Pastelok said.
