January 10 will mark the beginning of a change in weather patterns. High pressure cells will be developing just off the coast in the Pacific Ocean and in the arctic, bring a slow end to the continuous rain and mild temperatures.
It will be a lot dryer and cooler. There will still be a few showers and milder times for the coast. However, there won’t be any record breaking mild temperatures.
Because the high pressure cells will be developing very close to the coast, it is unlikely for any snow to fall in lower elevation areas of the Pacific Northwest.
Based on teleconnection forecasts from NOAA and our own calculated teleconnections, the high pressure systems will move further away from the coast, and develop in the arctic sometime around mid-late January. Snow will be possible for coastal Pacific Northwest under those conditions.
But what about for the mid Atlantic? i am still hoping we’ll finally get out of this stupid mildness for good for the rest of the winter once we reach mid-late January so we would have better chances for some snow.
Some are saying that there will be a pattern shift around mid January I heard also bringing in very cold and snowy weather. I say we will see about that!
I sure hope so, Jayne. Cuz i want it to stay cold from then on.
Well I won’t hold my breath waiting for it though Anthony, Lol!
Accuweather just confirmed this pattern change.

but its slightly different from the above website for Western half. Not sure which one’s accurate lol.
Ah, but I have been told the colder air will surely(hopefully their right) coming my way later in mid January. So I guess we’ll see.
Our local weather said tonight that next week we were going to be plunged right back into the very cold temps. again. He said the weekend of the 13th, watch out! I think Joe bastardi said temps. would get colder around mid January to late January. If he says it I would be more inclined to believe it. Whether or not it will bring snow also, who know’s ? Anthony you are in Maryland, right? I am in the Eastern panhandle of WV.. Are you in the mountains? Well maybe we will see some snow before it’s all over. Hang in there, ok?
@Jayne1954 Yes, I do live in Maryland. No, I don’t live in the mountains, I live in Harford county, which is above Baltimore.
But yes, I will most certainly hang in there. And thank you :)
it was mild weather on january 10th in new york city this winter
