February to Start Cold for Many

Both Winter Storm Kari and this storm system will pull down more cold air into the central and eastern U.S. through early next week.
On Friday, teens and 20s for highs will be the rule over the Great Lakes. By Saturday, teens and 20s will keep the Northeast shivering. A few single-digit highs can be expected in northern New England, thanks to any fresh snow cover from the first system, in additon to the refrigeration of the air mass from snow already on the ground.
Behind the second Arctic plunge, Sunday's highs may be stuck in the single digits and teens from North Dakota to Maine.
Groundhog Day may leave you longing for spring to be right around the corner, with teens, 20s and a few single-digit highs from the northern Plains to the Ohio Valley, Northeast and New England. Far northern New England may stay below zero all day Monday – that includes Burlington, Vermont, where there hasn't been a subzero high in February since 2003 (though they had three such days in January last year).

In the extended range, colder than average temperatures are expected to persist into the second week of February in most areas east of the Mississippi River.
