The Coldest Weather In A LONG TIME Is Coming...

Intro the coldest weather in a long time will be coming to the United States over the next few days and this is really going to impact areas like the Midwest Ohio Valley and the Northeast the most significantly but we're also going to be watching for the potential for some isolated severe weather in areas like the Ohio Valley in Northeast the potential for water spouts across the Great Lakes and we are watching five different areas across the Atlantic Ocean with at least a low chance of development into a tropical storm or hurricane over the next 7 days so in today's forecast we're going to break down exactly what you need to know about the weather for the next 7 Days across the entire United States we are going to Weather Right Now begin with what's happening across the United States right now and overall there's been plenty of showers and thunderstorms across the Gulf Coast over the last really several days now we had this band of basically a stationary fernal boundary that's extending from Texas back into Florida and a lot of showers and thunderstorms have been lining up right along that boundary for the last couple of days and that trend is going to continue into this weekend especially for Florida Louisiana Southern Alabama and Mississippi and we even could see a small little tropical depression or storm form just south of Louisiana sometime over the next couple of days so that'll be something to watch for we even had a tornado warning in Southern Louisiana around 9:45 p.m. last night that is the first tornado warning that we've had since Wisconsin back at the end of August on August 29th so pretty crazy stuff there also we've had some showers and storms that even fired up back over near Kansas City last night we actually had some right before the Kansas City Chiefs and Ravens game a little bit of lightning in the area but most of that was pretty quick going back over in the Northeast things are quiet for now but we are going to see an increase of activity over the next 48 hours as showers and thunderstorms will be possible and that is all thanks to a low pressure system that will develop back over in the Great Lakes as we go throughout the day today now for today BIG Cooldown Coming & Big Storm Coming! we are watching for the potential for some isolated severe weather in areas like Ohio and Pennsylvania this is what it looks like this morning we got some showers and a couple of thunderstorms right along Lake Erie and into Northwest Ohio as we go later into the day today right around lunchtime I wouldn't be surprised if we do get a couple of storms that attempt to organize with mainly a threat for isolated damaging winds and hail wouldn't rule out a brief tornado though somewhere in Northeast Ohio or Northwest Pennsylvania by around 3 to four o00 this afternoon these storms will continue to move eastbound I wouldn't even be surprised in Southern Ohio if we end up getting maybe an isolated tornado threat there as well just something to watch for not really super concerned about this but we are going to be watching this throughout the afternoon in case we do have to go live by the time we get closer to 5 to 6:00 storms will be mostly just scattered anywhere from New York back into Kentucky and Tennessee a lot of this though will mostly just be rain I don't really forecast a whole lot more of severe weather after about 5 or 6:00 and then as we go into the evening hours eventually into Saturday we'll be watching for some more showers across many states but as we go into the afternoon Saturday we'll have another round of some isolated severe weather in Eastern New York parts of New Jersey and then maybe even in parts of northern Delaware and those storms will eventually move towards Long Island and Connecticut and Massachusetts before they fall apart right around 5 to 6:00 another isolated damaging wind threat will be in the forecast now let's talk a little bit more about the entire lower 48 over the next seven days and give you an idea of what's going to be happening because there's a lot of components to the forecast over the next several days we got two different little tropical systems that could develop within the next 24 to 48 hours one near Texas one back off just to the southeast of New England the good news about this one is that this one is moving away from the United States it'll be going towards Nova Scotia I don't really think this going to develop into much of anything because there's just so much wind shear out there but there will be a potential for some heavy rainfall in Nova Scotia this weekend this system is a little bit more interesting I think overall since it's right along the frontal boundary we could see it develop into something I think it's going to be mostly just consistent though of a lot of rain for the Gulf Coast over the next few days if this does become organized into a tropical system I think what we'll be talking about is just a higher amount of rainfall totals in Southern Louisiana that would be the main concern as we go into late Friday we'll be watching for shower and thunderstorms again across Canada back into parts of the Ohio Valley By the time going into Saturday we'll continue to watch for more and more rain to dump across the Gulf Coast we might even see another little tropical system attempt to develop just east of North Carolina as we go into Saturday afternoon and eventually into Sunday so something else to watch for there that's if we can see two different low pressure systems kind of split apart from each other it is a possibility by the way once we go into Sunday we'll be watching for some more rain in New England that little system will move to the Northeast not really impacting the United States we'll also be watching just south of Texas to continue to watch for more showers and thunderstorms along the Gulf Coast the good news is as we go into the next week we're going to be dealing with a very dominant Ridge across a very large chunk of the lower 48 meaning that most places will not be dealing with much of any rain as we go into early next week unless you are near the Gulf Coast which in that case you'll be talking more about more rain once we go into mid to late next week overall the weather Still Remains pretty quiet I could see by next weekend our next severe weather event being somewhere over in the Great Plains I'm not really sure where yet but we are likely to have our next trough ejection sometime at the tail end of next week if not by next weekend if that does happen we could see The Return of severe weather what that entails is very uncertain though at this time as it is just so far out now there will be a lot of rain over the next week or so especially if you're back down near the Gulf Coast look at this over the next s days in terms of total rainfall accumulation we are going to be talking about the potential for significant rainfall and potentially significant flooding back over in Southern Louisiana and we could see anywhere from 4 to 8 in of rain from Southeast Texas back into parts of the panhandle of Florida aside from that look at the gaping hole that we have across a very large chunk of the Mid-Atlantic back into the Central and Northern Plains there is going to be a lot of areas that see very little to no rain over the next seven days now the European model does indicate by like the weekend we could see rain in like Oklahoma Missouri Arkansas and as well as Kansas but that's going to be dependent on if a tropical Cyclone tries to develop in the Northwest Gulf which the European model is a bit more bullish towards that and if that does end up happening we could see a solution like this but it's very uncertain as that is still about 7even days out and tropical systems in general can be very difficult to predict now I do want to talk a little bit about the water spout potential as we go into the weekend and we're really talking about tonight into Saturday morning for the greatest chance for water spouts across mainly Lake Michigan Lake Erie as well being the two main targets I think for the water spout potential this is because we have a very deep area of cold air and is sitting in the higher altitudes and this mixes with the very warm lake waters that we have and this creates an environment where water spouts will be a potential this weekend predominantly though I think tonight into Saturday morning the good news about this event is that a lot of the time when we have water spouts they do not usually go Inland especially in this sort of climate or environment but it is something to watch for and if you are right next to the lake maybe in like Western Michigan or even in Eastern Michigan or Northern Ohio you might end up seeing a water spout sometime over the next 24 hours so definitely something that might be cool but obviously make sure that you're staying safe now the temperatures across the country over the next several days they are going to be very cold at least for this time of the year if you're back over in the midwest or the Ohio Valley look at this cold pocket of air that's going to arrive tonight into Saturday across the Midwest the Great Lakes region back into the Ohio Valley it's saw on the backside of a low pressure system the bad news about this is that if you like this type of weather it's not going to last long cuz by Sunday and Monday that cold air is all moving into the Northeast and it really starts to fizzle back back over in the midwest in the Ohio Valley by Monday and that warm air is going to start to return again as we go throughout the week now on the flip side of things we are going to have some below aage temperatures that are going to continue across Texas and Oklahoma and really up and down the entire east coast of the United States so some good news there if you like some cooler weather some like fall type weather at least early fall type weather this what we're looking at by Wednesday and Thursday look at the warm air just build right back into the Midwest Ohio Valley and the Great Plains above average temperatures will return by the weekend if not even by the tail end of this upcoming week low temperatures for tomorrow morning very chilly back up in parts of Wisconsin and Minnesota where our first freeze of the season will be possible in northeastern Minnesota we could have low temperatures that dive into the low3s overnight tonight into tomorrow morning we'll also have some upper 40s and low 50s across parts of Ohio by Sunday morning those temperatures will start to fall in the Northeast and back into the Ohio Valley but the cold air will not be nearly as strong or intense most areas is still in the 40s some higher elevations could be in the upper 30s back over in parts of West Virginia climate prediction center for the next several days from Wednesday of next week until Sunday still indicating above average temperatures in the forecast across a large chunk of the Great Plains the Midwest Ohio Valley and Northeast on the flip side of things below average temperatures will likely continue if you're anywhere from Texas back into North Carolina precipitation in terms of rainfall is going to continue to stay below average across the Ohio Valley and Northeast as we go into the middle and end of next week so this doesn't include what we're seeing this weekend and then back over along the GF Coast things are going to stay relatively active I think there now the Hurricane Season Update tropics are continuing to look very very I don't even know like I don't even know how to explain this anymore we have four areas of development right now we did have five we have dropped down to four again these are all low chances of development and for you know mid almost mid-september now we have really nothing out there right now we do have four areas of potential development these are all low chances at least a 30% chance or less of development over the next 7 days with the two most concerning being the ones that are near the Gulf of Mexico or in the Gulf of Mexico even then these do not look very concerning at least in terms of major development we are still watching the one just off coast of Texas that could develop over the next 48 hours but mostly looks like a rain threat and then the one that's going to be entering into the Gulf of Mexico here soon that's going to cross the Yucatan this weekend still has a low chance of development as we go into next week we have another area development just west of Africa that one does not look organized does not look very concerning right now and then our other one just see of North Carolina that actually looks kind of impressive it at least has around tropical storm Forest winds but it is just so sheared off right now that it is not considered a tropical Cyclone as of right now now the one system that we have just off the coast of Texas and Louisiana over the next 48 hours is still not really likely to develop into anything too crazy but I do think over the next 48 hours we're going to continue to see plenty of rain across really the Louisiana coast both today and probably tomorrow the HR model does have this moving a bit to the southeast over the next 4 hours in that case if that does happen I think the rainfall totals that the European model was depicting will probably be way lower if it kind of sits just off coast and doesn't really move much I could see there being 48 in of rain in many areas right along the immediate Coastline now the ensembles across the entire Atlantic Ocean still continue to show at least some you know minimal signs of development maybe in the Gulf of Mexico or just off the coast of North Carolina over the next couple of days and we also have that tropical wave that's coming off Africa but again no signs of anything major as of right now we'll obviously continue to keep a close eye on the tropics but for right now no reason to be super concerned if you're in the United States thank you so much for watching make sure to the like button down below and subscribe if you've not
