Red Orbit - 1/22/13, Joshua Kelly

Big Story Weather from January 21: The first big story of the day was the lake effect snows that began to kick in over the Eastern Great Lakes. This event is one of the biggest in a while for this region to see such heavy snowfalls, especially after last year’s warm winter. The second thing was the cold air that hit from the Northern Plains into parts of the Midwest. Yesterday, there were places that had temps around -20F along with wind chill values near -55F. Now that is cold!



Weather Outlook for January 22: Low pressure moving into the Northeast will continue to bring heavy snow to Maine and Vermont, while the lake effect snows will still be over the Eastern Lakes today. High pressure over the Northern Plains will bring yet another day of cold weather to the region. High pressure will bring one more nice day to the Rockies and Southwest. The arrival of a frontal boundary into the Pacific Northwest will bring increasing clouds to the region. Below is the weather for a few select cities.
