The most wintry spell of mid-May weather since last century is on tap for much of the eastern United States this weekend. Freezes will extend to the upper Ohio Valley, with frosts—possibly some of the latest ever recorded—across much of the Southern Appalachians. Damp, raw, windy conditions will sweep across big cities of the Eastern Seaboard on Friday night. And across parts of the interior Northeast, especially at higher elevations, snow is a real possibility.
The oddly wintry blast is coming from eastern Canada, pushed rapidly southeast by a compact upper low extending to heights in and near the tropopause (the dividing zone between the lowest two layers of the atmosphere). This isn’t the midwinter polar vortex you often hear about; that circulation, which is strongest in the stratosphere, has already dissipated for the season.

This spring has sucked big time.
It is truly amazing what the US Military can do with weather. They are quietly protecting all of us from Coronavirus by artificially cooling down a large swath of the Country.
The northeast US had been cooler than the rest of the planet for over a decade now thanks to their secret efforts. Bravo!
By dispersing chemical ice nucleation compounds into the atmosphere they will cool down the US this week and help prevent the spread of Coronavirus. Weather Modification is a secret military operation, but I wish the public knew what they are doing to protect us.
True Heroes!
Thank you
Global warming I guess?...No,that's the old narrative. Now it's climate change. Covers everything.
You forgot to mention that it'll be 85 degrees in Seattle this weekend!
The climate is changing constantly everywhere. Get used to it.
I've heard it all now.
Happy Mother's Day.
The weather sure isn't stopping the idiots from pouring down to the ocean. Rt. 50 East was heavy traffic today........the most I've seen since the virus started.
