High pressure building toward the Southeast will bring calm winds and clear skies, which combined with the very cold air mass in place, will allow temperatures in many cities to challenge the coldest lows ever reached during the month of April. The cold will severely tax peach orchards across Georgia, and strawberry orchards throughout the Southeast. Bitter cold will also be felt throughout the wheat-growing areas of the Midwest and central Plains.
A look at the Watches and Warnings shows freeze watches and warnings extending from the Ohio Valley all the way into northern Florida. The cold snap is especially dangerous to agriculture this year, and the South Regional News expands on some places where record-breaking cold will be felt during sunrise services on Easter morning.
The springtime arctic outbreak will also allow for snow in areas that very rarely see wintry precipitation this late in the year. On Saturday morning, snow mixed with rain in much of North Carolina, and flurries were observed as far south as Atlanta. The system that caused this rare April snowfall will scrape the Northeast coast with some additional snow on Saturday. Moderate snowfall also fell in Washington, D.C. early Saturday morning. The nation's capital has not received accumulating snow in April since 2001. The East Regional News discusses the coastal storm in further detail, as well as the continuing lake-effect snow in western New York.
Wintry conditions are not restricted to the Northeast this weekend. Snow fell Saturday morning across eastern Colorado, eastern New Mexico and West Texas. Among the cities that will receive snow or sleet over the next 24 hours are Denver, Dallas, and Austin. By Sunday, this storm will slide east, bringing a chilly rain to much of the Gulf Coast.
Snow will continue in the usual lake-effect areas of the Midwest Saturday. Since Tuesday, parts of northern Michigan have been walloped by over three feet of snow. Bitterly cold winds will continue to blow across Lake Superior and Lake Michigan, and snow will continue for much of the weekend. Wintry weather forced the postponement of Major League Baseball games in Cleveland and Chicago. More information on the Easter weekend forecast is available in the Midwest Regional News.
The cold this weekend will keep a lid on severe weather, but our long range maps suggest a wetter pattern returning to the eastern part of the country within the next week. A storm system that will emerge into the central Plains on Tuesday will have the potential to bring severe weather across the Southeast, and significant snowfall to its north.
