BREAKING NEWS! Bitter Arctic Cold Front Could Destroy Records From The Northwest To The Gulf Coast. Is it Really Global Warming or a GLOBAL WARNING From God Almighty Who is Not Pleased With What America and the West Has Done With their So-called “FREEDOMS”? Daniel Whyte III says God is not pleased. At the same time, God is showing America great mercy and long-suffering. For the answer to God’s rhetorical question: Who can stand before His Cold? No one! Whyte says, let him be very clear, in certain places, this kind of COLD can injure you or kill you, so be prayerful and careful.

A blast of arctic cold air is plunging into the U.S.
Several daily cold records will be in jeopardy.
Dangerously cold wind chills are also expected, especially in the Northern Plains and Rockies.
This generally colder pattern could hang on until the last full week of January or longer.

An arctic cold outbreak will deliver record-setting, frigid air to parts of the country, including the Deep South through Wednesday. Daily records for mid-January could be broken from Oregon to the Gulf Coast.

When It Will Happen: The first plunge of cold air already surged south through the Plains. A reporting station near Raynesford, Montana, plunged to minus 43 degrees Friday morning. Watson Lake, British Columbia, Canada, plunged to minus 57 degrees.

Dickinson, North Dakota, registered a minus 66 degree wind chill early Saturday morning. Even more brutal, Lupin, in Canada’s Northwest Territories measured a minus 77 degree wind chill Saturday morning, with a 40 mph wind accompanying temperatures in the minus 30s.

An even stronger cold blast is now surging south through the Plains and Midwest before working its way toward the Southeast and finally the East Coast Wednesday.

This animation shows how far below average low temperatures are forecast each day through next Friday. The brightest pink contours indicate where low temperatures are expected to be farthest below average for this time of year.

How Cold It Will Get: During the coldest days of the outbreak…

Lows in the 20s, perhaps teens, will occur along the northern Gulf Coast, from East Texas to North Florida.
Teens, perhaps a few single digit-lows, are expected in the Deep South.
Below-zero low temperatures could occur as far south as parts of the Texas Panhandle, Oklahoma and northern Arkansas.
Lows in the minus 20s are possible as far south as Iowa and Nebraska.
Some lows in Montana will reach minus 40 degrees.

Daily records – coldest for the calendar day – are possible in parts of the Plains and Deep South, Monday through Wednesday.

Among the notables, Chicago’s O’Hare Airport could plunge to the minus teens for the first time since the January 2019 cold outbreak, and could fail to rise above zero during the day Monday and/or Tuesday. Oklahoma City could plunge below zero for the first time since the historic February 2021 cold outbreak. That said, we don’t expect this outbreak to match the ferocity of either the January 2019 or February 2021 outbreaks.

Wind Chill Danger: Strong winds will also accompany the arctic air. Those winds will combine with the cold to produce dangerous wind chills in the Rockies, Plains and Midwest.

Some wind chills in the Northern Plains could drop into the minus 40s, 50s even 60s, at times, which could lead to frostbite on any exposed skin in as little as 10 minutes.

How Long It Will Last: In some of these areas, the coldest air will be during the first half of MLK week. Parts of the South, including Oklahoma City, Dallas and Nashville, could see several days in a row with daytime highs below freezing.

Yet another blast of cold air is now expected into many of these same areas late week that would last into the weekend of Jan. 20-21.

Beyond that, some moderating of the cold air is possible, especially in the western U.S., during the week of Jan. 22.

Why It’s So Cold: There are several reasons for this powerhouse cold outbreak.

First, blocking high pressure aloft near Greenland and the Canadian Arctic is forcing cold air out of Canada deep into the U.S., a common pattern for outbreaks in winter.

That cold air will be kept refrigerated by ample, widespread snowpack over the U.S. thanks to the recent siege of winter storms.

And this is all happening around what is typically the coldest time of winter.

This is a stunning reversal of a pattern that lead to America’s record warmest December in 129 years and the least Christmas snow cover in 20 years.
