There’s a chance of snow this weekend before temperatures are expected to drop to the single digits next week due to a blast of arctic air.

A blast of Arctic air is set to cover much of the United States with temperatures below freezing starting on Friday and into next week, impacting millions of Americans in nearly all of the contiguous states.

A new blast of Arctic air sweeping from north to south will bring bone-chilling temperatures to millions of Americans this weekend and next week.

Snow and winds are likely to disrupt traffic, trigger flight cancellations, and cause headaches for people traveling to D.C. for Inauguration Day. Baby, it’s cold outside, and it’s about to get even colder for much of the United States.

A major cold blast is in store for millions of Americans as a lobe of a polar vortex will bring brutally cold temperatures to nearly every American east of the Rockies.
