According to The Weather Channel and Vencore Weather, bitterly cold air is forecast to grow across parts of northern and western Canada. That cold air will likely head into the United States as early as this weekend! Be prepared for old man winter's rage next week!

Plunging temperatures and snowfall will be in the forecasts for next week for sure. Why? It appears that a large southward dip in the jet stream from the Arctic will plunge as deep as the Central United States.

The Weather Channel reports:

Areas from the western and northern Great Lakes into the Upper Midwest, northern and central Plains and northern Rockies are likely to see subzero lows (and, perhaps, highs in a few spots) while wind chills may dip as low as 30 degrees below zero.

So break out the hats and gloves and fill the snow thrower with gas, along with your vehicles. Enjoy temps in the 40s for Saturday and Sunday and then single digit wind chills for much of next week. And with a warm Lake Erie, who knows how much lake effect snow may develop.
