Message for the area.. At least we're dropping to freezing here now. Gees. No "blowtorch" at night. Sun felt so strong again.
Inversion! Its warm aloft.
...HEAVY FROST...FOG AND ICY CONDITIONS POSSIBLE LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY SUNDAY MORNING... CLEAR SKIES AND CALM WINDS OVERNIGHT WILL CAUSE TEMPERATURES TO FALL WELL BELOW FREEZING WITH SOME AREAS DROPPING INTO THE MID 20S. A HEAVY FROST IS LIKELY.
IN ADDITION...PATCHY DENSE GROUND FOG IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AFTER MIDNIGHT. THIS COMBINATION OF BELOW FREEZING TEMPERATURES, FOG AND A HEAVY FROST CAN LEAD TO SLIPPERY CONDITIONS TO DEVELOP ON PAVED SURFACES.
This pattern is how the climate should be at our latitudes, or perhaps something warmer. Shouldn't be dealing with the Arctic at all at 30-40N.
This is exactly what I have been trying to argue all along on these forums, yet everyone criticizes me; in a natural climactic state, without the Cold Epoch, the weather would be similar to what it is now, with no Arctic intrusions.

No arctic intrusions?
NA would need an east-west axis mountain range of similar height to Himalayas
but at what latitude? 50N? 55N?
Yesterdays minimum temps. Even in a warm pattern the gulf coast states got frosty & some spots freezing
Only the far inland areas are at freezing; coastal areas are fine.

Mountains can help, but they actually aren't needed to prevent arctic outbreaks; all you need is a proper, zonal jet-stream flow. In fact, a theory goes that the North-South Rocky Mountains enhance the ability of arctic air to invade lower latitudes.

In a natural climactic state, even the East Coast up to NYC would be like a paradise, depending on your standards.

Except the atmosphere doesn't stay in a zonal flow forever, it's free to fluctuate.
