Cold Temperatures to Continue in Great Lakes and Northeast (FORECAST)

April 3,2016
The Midwest and Northeast will continue to feel more like winter rather than early April over the next few days and low temperatures may dip to daily record lows for this time of year in some cities.
In addition to the cold, snow is also expected as Winter Storm Ursula impacts the Great Lakes and Northeast into Monday and then another clipper system will bring more snow from the Upper Midwest into the Great Lakes and Northeast later this week.

Below are more details on the colder temperatures sweeping across the Great Lakes and Northeast this week.

Cold Temperatures Incoming

High temperatures will be 10 to 25 degrees below where they are typically expected to be for the beginning of April in the Great Lakes and Northeast Monday into Tuesday.

This means afternoon readings will likely top out in the 30s and 40s for much of those regions. Some locations near the Canadian border may not rise out of the 20s.

Forecast Highs

Low temperatures will be in the teens, 20s and 30s for much of the Upper Midwest and Northeast into Wednesday morning, with a few single digits likely near the Canadian border.
Daily record lows may be threatened on Tuesday morning and Wednesday morning in parts of the Northeast, including:

• Potential record lows Tuesday: Buffalo, New York (current record: 13 degrees); Rochester, New York (current record: 15 degrees)
• Potential record lows Wednesday: Boston (current record: 20 degrees); Hartford (current record: 17 degrees); Providence, Rhode Island (current record: 20 degrees)

Along with the cooler temperatures, gusty winds can also be expected, creating wind chills well below the actual air temperature.
Morning wind chills on Monday may be in the single digits and teens across much of the Great Lakes and interior Northeast, with 20s closer to the coast. Wind chills will be in the single digits and teens once again Tuesday morning in parts of New England, New York, Pennsylvania and the Great Lakes.

Forecast AM Lows

Temperatures are expected to moderate on Wednesday, with most locations across the Midwest and interior Northeast seeing temperatures near average for early April. Portions of New England may see highs 5 to 10 degrees below average Wednesday.

Late Week Cold

There are signs that another blast of cold air may impact much of the Great Lakes and eastern states late this week, as another southward dip in the jet stream is expected to move through the East.
Below-average temperatures will return to the Midwest on Thursday, with even colder conditions expected across the Midwest on Friday. The chilly conditions will also expand into much of the Northeast and southward into portions of the South on Friday.
Highs will be up to 25 degrees colder than average on Friday for many locations east of the Mississippi River. Highs will once again only reach the 30s and 40s for the Midwest, with 50s as far south as Atlanta.

Forecast Highs Compared to Average

Chilly temperatures will stretch from the Northeast into the eastern Great Lakes and parts of the Southeast on Saturday. The Northeast will only see highs climb into the 30s and 40s, with 50s in the Mid-Atlantic.
Low temperatures will also be colder than average and a few daily record lows cannot be ruled out Saturday and Sunday in the Midwest and Northeast. Temperatures may drop into the 30s in many areas in the Tennessee Valley and Southeast.
