Two winter storms will move through the East this weekend, with cold air coming right behind it in an arctic blast forecast for next week.

A blast of winter weather is set to bring snowfall and subfreezing wind chills across the Midwest and East Coast as well as near-freezing temperatures in parts of the South, including Florida.

Social media isn’t always reliable for news or weather. Some posts share forecast models 10 days out or longer.

Millions of people in the High Plains will experience widespread wind gusts between 60 to 80 mph, from Montana to Kansas.

Thursday morning lows are forecast to fall into the single digits, with wind chills ranging from zero to 10 below zero.

Temperatures on Thursday are due to hover around freezing with a brisk westerly wind gusting up to 30 mph (sympathies to all bikers and runners and those who navigating those Center City wind tunnels), and then drop into the 20s after sunset with windchills in the teens.

Storm models are hinting at back-to-back coastal storm development, possibly late in the week and this weekend, as two different weather patterns converge.

After calm conditions through Tuesday, a weather system will bring potential snow to northern areas and rain to southeastern parts of the region on Wednesday and Thursday.
