The U.S. East Coast and a significant portion of the Midwest are bracing for a resurgence of cold weather, with forecasts indicating below-normal temperatures will persist into the latter half of January. As Arctic air masses descend, residents can anticipate recurring opportunities for snow and snow showers, spanning from inland regions to parts of the Northeast and mid-Atlantic. While major coastal storms are not a certainty at this point, the sustained cold pattern has the potential to bring occasional light snow, flurries, and generally chilly conditions as the month progresses.
