The prospects for next week are interesting and there’s still the potential for some wintry weather. Potential being the word, and I’m not saying it will happen. The general pattern has been well predicted by the computer models during the last week, the problem is that small changes have a big impact on the weather we’ll experience in the UK because of our location close to the border of different air masses.
By this weekend high pressure is expected to be building from the south with temperatures taking a dip, but nothing too cold. As we go into next week the uncertainty grows, and as I’ve said it’s possible we could end up with weather fronts stalling close to or over the UK with high pressure build to our north east. This pattern could bring us a lot of rain and the risk of more flooding, or the chance of some snow if colder air to the east becomes mixed in.
Btw, any warm up end of this week isn't going to last it seems,
For the Northeast it should play like this....
Below freezing temps until Friday Lunchtime.
Pop to 40s & 50s this weekend because of another GL Storm track
Stay above freezing with some dips below for 1 week
After the 20th we go back below freezing for consecutive days
GFS Max temps Saturday night. At least these 50s pops are less than 24hrs unlike other years. This is just for Saturday night for few hours than we drop back
And this morning makes it 11 days at or below 0F/-18C. O'Hare bottomed out at -6F/-21C and Midway -2F/-19C. That’s a sub-zero tally which has been topped only four of the past 143-years and it’s more than 3 times the three sub-zero days which have occurred on average by January 8 since official records began here in 1871.

Pretty sad how they need to label where chicago is on the map, would assume someone would be able to pick out where the city they live is.
I don't see anything particularly cold headed this way, perhaps just a cooling down toward average here, but still mild in S England the West and N. Ireland.
