In the days leading up to Christmas, two extreme, disruptive and dangerous weather systems will affect large parts of the Lower 48 states. The storm is set to unleash heavy snow and strong winds — and the potential for blizzard conditions in some areas.
Cold air is already oozing out of Canada across the northern Intermountain West and northern Plains, with temperatures set to drop at least 40 degrees below average.The alerts herald the arrival of an even more significant deep freeze that will plunge the Plains into an air mass more typical of northern Alaska. When the Arctic front arrives at any particular location, temperatures will drop suddenly and winds will rapidly strengthen.
Across the Dakotas, the coldest temperatures will be observed between Wednesday and Friday, with highs barely poking above minus-10 and lows in the minus-20 to minus-30 range. Billings, Mont., is predicted to have a high of minus-16 on Wednesday; that would match the record coldest maximum for the day, set back in 1990.
Little Rock could have a low of 8 degrees on Thursday night, shy of the 2 degree record set in 1989. Dallas is forecast to plunge to 9 degrees, which would miss the record of 3 degrees. In St. Louis, a low of zero is likely Thursday night. Memphis may fall to 5 degrees.
