... COLDEST WEATHER SINCE DECEMBER 1990 EXPECTED DURING THE WEEK AHEAD...

WITH THE INTENSE LOW CENTER MOVING ONSHORE TODAY... IT IS IMPORTANT NOT TO LOSE SIGHT OF OTHER SIGNIFICANT WEATHER COMING UP DURING THE NEXT WEEK.

AN ARCTIC COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTH THROUGH WESTERN WASHINGTON ON SATURDAY... PULLING IN MUCH COLDER AIR IN ITS WAKE. THE FRONT WILL FIRST ARRIVE OVER THE NORTH INTERIOR EARLY IN THE MORNING... WHERE FRASER OUTFLOW WINDS WILL PICK UP ON SATURDAY MORNING... BRINGING IN VERY COLD AND VERY WINDY CONDITIONS. AS THE FRONT SLIPS FURTHER SOUTH DURING THE DAY WITH UNSETTLED CONDITIONS CONTINUING... SNOW ACCUMULATIONS OF 1 TO 3 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE FOR MUCH OF THE LOWLANDS ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE COLD FRONT... DAYTIME TEMPERATURES WILL ACTUALLY FALL. AS TEMPERATURES FALL BELOW FREEZING... WET SURFACES COULD QUICKLY BECOME ICY... SO BE SURE TO WATCH YOUR FOOTING AND AVOID SLIP-AND- FALL ACCIDENTS.

BY MONDAY... TEMPERATURES WILL GENERALLY REACH DAYTIME HIGHS ONLY IN THE 20S WITH NIGHTTIME LOWS IN THE TEENS OR LOWER. WITH THE CONTINUATION OF STRONG NORTHEAST WINDS OVER THE NORTH INTERIOR... WIND CHILL VALUES SHOULD DROP TO 10 OR 15 BELOW ZERO. WIND CHILLS THIS LOW CAN CAUSE FROSTBITE TO EXPOSED SKIN IN ABOUT 30 MINUTES. THE NORTH INTERIOR WILL BE UNDER THE GUN FOR BRUTALLY COLD WIND CHILLS FOR MUCH OF THE WEEK AHEAD AS COLD AIR CONTINUES TO FUNNEL OUT OF THE FRASER VALLEY.

OVER THE MOUNTAINS... TEMPERATURES WILL FALL INTO THE TEENS AND SINGLE DIGITS BY SATURDAY EVENING AND CONTINUE FOR MUCH OF THE WEEK AHEAD. WIND CHILL VALUES OF 20 BELOW ZERO CAN BE EXPECTED AT TIMES... WHICH WOULD CAUSE FROSTBITE TO EXPOSED SKIN IN ONLY ABOUT 15-20 MINUTES.

COLD SUB-FREEZING WEATHER SHOULD CONTINUE OVER NEARLY ALL OF WESTERN WASHINGTON THROUGH NEXT WEEK. IN ADDITION... A WEATHER SYSTEM ON WEDNESDAY COULD INTERACT WITH THE STUBBORN COLD AIR MASS TO PRODUCE A RENEWED THREAT OF ACCUMULATING SNOW NEARLY EVERYWHERE EXCEPT PERHAPS THE IMMEDIATE COASTLINE.

THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT WESTERN WASHINGTON SHOULD EXPERIENCE THE COLDEST WEATHER IN A COUPLE OF DECADES DURING THE WEEK AHEAD. PLEASE BE PREPARED FOR AN UNUSUALLY PROLONGED AND INTENSE PERIOD OF WINTER WEATHER.
