ACCUWEATHER.COM NEWS FORECAST FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Arctic Air Grips the Eastern Half of the Nation Brings Record Lows, High Winds, and Some Snow Until Thursday State College, Pa. -- January 2, 2008 -- AccuWeather.com reports the Eastern Seaboard is now gripped by the same frigid dome of arctic air that has dominated the eastern half of the nation. The day will feel like the dead of winter as biting winds and snow showers occur region wide. With the cold winds blowing over the milder Lakes, the heaviest snow showers will leave accumulations downwind of the Great Lakes through Thursday morning. The snow will whiten the ground as far south as the northern mountains of North Carolina. "The cold weather coming across the Great Lakes will produce heavy amounts of lake-effect snow," AccuWeather.com Sr. Meteorologist and Severe Weather Expert, Henry Margusity wrote in his blog. "In some areas, it will be white-out conditions due to the combination of snow, wind, and cold weather." Heavy snow on Tuesday was not limited to places near the Great Lakes. The storm now over Atlantic Canada brought snow to New England and New York for the second straight day. While the cold air grips the central Gulf Coast for the second consecutive day, today's high temperatures will be 10 to 20 degrees colder across the Southeast. Miami will reach a high of 60 degrees – 17 degrees below normal. Temperatures tonight will plummet past freezing as far south as the interior of South Florida, challenging some record lows. Freeze Watches and Warnings expand from South Texas to Florida. A wind chill watch also covers South Florida. The cold across the eastern half of the nation will not last beyond Thursday. The dome of high pressure delivering the frigid air will depart as quickly as it arrived. Over the weekend into early next week, temperatures will warm not only to, but past typical highs for early January.
