Dangerously cold temperatures will be in place tonight to ring in the new year for many locations located east of the Rocky Mountains. Locations across the Northeast and as far south as Kansas into Ohio will be below zero at midnight with wind chills of -20 to -40 for many of these locations. Therefore, locations from northeastern Montana into portions of the Midwest and Northeast are under a Wind Chill Warning with Wind Chill Advisories in place as far south as the central Gulf Coast through Monday morning. Monday's highs will stay below freezing for much of Texas to the Carolinas which is a good 20 to 30 degrees below average.
Winter weather advisories are currently in effect for western and northern Texas as well as across the lower Mississippi valley where light accumulations of snow and freezing rain could cause slick conditions through Monday morning. Monday evening through Tuesday will be mostly dry across the lower 48 with the exception of rain showers for Florida and snow showers the Great Lakes. Snowfall accumulations downwind of the Great Lakes are expected to be locally heavier across the eastern U.P. of Michigan and east of Lakes Erie and Ontario where additional totals of roughly 6-12 inches are in the forecast through Tuesday evening.
Needless to say, temperatures will remain well below average for most locations east of the Rockies into the middle of the week but some moderation is expected across the central and northern High Plains starting Tuesday with downslope flow developing. The Southwest will remain warm and dry into the middle of the week with temperatures ranging between 5 to 15 degrees above early January normals.

Here in MA it is 6.
We expect -11 on Friday. We get cold here — single digits and negative temperatures happen — but this is really pushing far beyond normal. Long stretch of bad cold.
Mile High Prescott, AZ:
71 degrees and sunny yesterday.
A little cooler today.
Nice...

Oak Ridge, TN - 23f
58 on my my cheap weather drone and 55.9 °F on a very expensive WUnderweather weather station 200 yards as a sober crow flies.
Hovering around 10*. Wind makes it feel cooler.
It’s at least a million billion degrees, ice caps have melted, and water levels rose 100 feet on each shore. /Al Gore
Actually, it’s flippin’ cold here in the Midwest. Down about 20 degrees from normal (maybe more tonight). I don’t know how much more of this Global Warming we can stand. I topped off the cars with more antifreeze though they were already 50/50. Still good to -32 (some say -34). Expecting -10 to -12 tonight.
23 F at this time in Richmond VA.

Positive 1.
Later tonight, who knows...global warming will probably bump it up to melting polar bear temps or something.
-4F and dropping.
One has to be careful not to overdress or one will break out in a sweat while shoveling the partly cloudy.
Saves on Gym memberships though.
About 55 degrees and cloudy here in NorCal, aka, The State of Jefferson.
65°F in ABQ, NM
