Nice map that shows the max but man I hate TWC for having a gap between NYC, Albany and Boston. NYC isn't everything on the map and looks deceiving for this area and CT.

This weekend’s push of mild, Pacific air brought thawing temperatures to the area. Saturday’s high at O’Hare airport reached 41 degrees, while Midway topped out at 43, making this the area’s mildest day since January 24th. With no snow on the ground, and a mild, southwest wind, St. Louis, MO reached 70 degrees, tying a record for the date. Across the Chicago area, partial snowmelt, and a steep temperature inversion is expected to promote damp, drizzly weather on Sunday. The mild temperature regime is not to last long. Computer forecast guidance suggests a return of polar air, accompanied by blustery north winds and periodic light snow beginning Wednesday. The core of the frigid air mass is to make its way across the Midwest Thursday and Friday, bringing subzero wind chill temperatures.
Look at that dive! Finally Northeast gets it without the Midwest getting it. Something we been wondering about recently. Perhaps these are the more sharper temp drops for the northeast as opposed to coming from the West/MidWest where it has time to moderate as it moves across? With this setup it seems more pure. Canadian Pure. :-)

I think the trough is in a different position: the center of cold is in eastern Canada rather the Canadian Praries. For a brief moment, it appears that the coldest air mass south of the Arctic is over New England. Though I'm not sure exactly what the "tropopause potential temperature" indicates how cold the airmass is, or something a bit different. There's a weird cold air mass forming at the Arizona-Mexico border going southwest across Baja California and then into the Pacific with a tail affecting the southern California coast.
Perfect example of how the 850mb level controls the surface temps. Top Down Approach.
850mb temp over Davenport, Iowa was 15°C at 00z weather balloon launch. That's nuts this time of year and in fact near record. Look at the 7pmEST 850mb temp map. 10C line up to Minneapolis. Wow!
Seeing this makes me keep saying Spring is so near for the U.S. Looking like a strong south push.
It is. Polar Vortex dropping south yet no media hype this time for a winter since Jan 1st that's been colder than the hyped up year last year.
Here you go. From latest GFS18z.
Looks very dry until a storm in the long range on the 21st time frame (which could change)
It says you'll be 27.6°F by Friday 7am.
By 7pm Saturday will be in the 30s.
26.6° Sunday 7am.
Temps at 4500' will drop below freezing by Friday afternoon. (Impressive dig south with that!)
Dewpoints go below 0 on Thursday the 19th and surface temps in to the 20s again. That's still 12 days away so expect that to possibly change drastically.
Thanks! It looks pretty cold, I was hoping for a chance of snow but it looks wayyyyy to dry for that. I'd give you reputation, but it won't let me give you any more.

The snow cover for Chicagoland is recorded at 06:00 (or 12Z). Why 12Z nationally as opposed to, say, 07:00 local standard time in each time zone?
