@WxUSAF I believe the afternoon AFD from LWX answers your question from earlier re extreme cold warning in the metros Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC 309 PM EST Fri Feb 6 2026 .WHAT HAS CHANGED... A few additional expansion of Cold Weather and Wind Advisories to cover the rest of the central VA Piedmont. Low Water Advisories also issued for likely impactful blowout tide Saturday afternoon to Sunday morning. && .KEY MESSAGES... - 1) Dangerous, life-threatening cold conditions and damaging winds Saturday. - 2) Near-Blizzard conditions expected in the Alleghenies late this morning through Saturday morning. - 3) A warming trend in temperatures is expected early next week, with a chance for mixed precipitation following on Wednesday. && .DISCUSSION... KEY MESSAGE 1...Dangerous, life-threatening cold conditions and damaging winds Saturday. There is extremely high confidence in a prolonged period of dangerous, life-threatening wind chills (paired with strong to damaging winds) across the area Saturday morning through Sunday morning. Extreme Cold Warnings and Cold Weather Advisories are in place across the entire forecast area from tonight through Sunday morning. A strong low pressure system located offshore paired with arctic high pressure moving in from Canada that yields a very tight pressure gradient across the area. A strengthening LLJ at 850-925mb that crosses the area Saturday morning will support the mixing of stronger winds down to the surface. A sudden onset of strong winds is expected right as the Arctic front passes through, which looks to be between 1AM to 6AM from northwest to southeast. Winds are going to rapidly increase from 5-10 mph to gusting 30-40 mph in tens of minutes, with gusts of 50-60 mph mixed in there. Wind gusts then remain steady at 45-55 mph through Saturday evening, with embedded gusts of 60-70 mph at times (higher gusts possible in the mountains). The High Wind Warnings and Wind Advisories remain in effect through Saturday evening for the entire area. Wind chills are forecast to crash below zero by daybreak Saturday, and remain below zero through at least late Sunday morning. For the Alleghenies and Blue Ridge wind chills bottom out between -20F to -30F, and possibly as cold as -40F at Spruce Knob. Elsewhere, wind chills as low as -10F to -20F are expected. This is only the second Extreme Cold Warning (along with its predecessor - Wind Chill Warning) issued for the immediate DC and Baltimore metro areas (as far back as WWA records go). The current forecast has between 24-30 hours of wind chills below zero over most of the area from Saturday early morning to Sunday late morning. It has been over 30 years since this area has observed this long a period of sub-zero wind chills, last occurring on January 15-16, 1994 (when wind chills below zero lasted upwards of 30-36 hours). Cannot stress enough the impact these wind chills and strong to damaging winds will have. Tree and powerlines damage is possible. Any power outages might last several days as crews will not be able to repair infrastructure until winds and wind chills decrease on Sunday. Anyone without proper clothing will be at risk of frostbite in as little as 30 minutes, with less time in the mountains where lower wind chills are expected.

FXUS61 KLWX 061537 AFDLWX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC 1037 AM EST Fri Feb 6 2026 .WHAT HAS CHANGED... Extreme Cold Warning has been expanded to DC Metro area and Anne Arundel County, with Cold Weather Advisories expanded across the rest of central Virginia. SPSs (plus commuting hazard along I-95 corridor) have been issued for snow showers through the evening commute. && .KEY MESSAGES... - 1) Near-Blizzard conditions expected in the Alleghenies late this morning through Saturday morning - 2) Extreme cold and strong winds will result in dangerous wind chills this weekend. - 3) Temperatures should start to increase on Monday, with a chance for mixed precipitation later in the week. && .DISCUSSION... KEY MESSAGE 1...Near-Blizzard conditions expected in the Alleghenies late this morning through Saturday morning. Morning Update: Snow showers are already noted on KLWX making their way east of the Alleghenies, with snow observed around Hagerstown and over the Shenandoah Mountains. There has also been some freezing drizzle reported just west of our forecast area in southwest PA and WV. A Special Weather Statement has been issued along and west of the Blue Ridge and Central VA for a dusting to around 1 inch of snow possible as these showers increase in coverage this afternoon. Brief periods of heavy snow are possible with the strongest showers. Additionally, a Winter Commuting Hazard Statement has been issued along the I-95 corridor for this afternoon as these showers move through. The higher accumulating snow totals look to be over central VA and west of the Blue Ridge. The northern Blue Ridge (Shenandoah NP) could end up with 1-2" of snow. ... KEY MESSAGE 2...Extreme cold and strong winds will result in dangerous wind chills this weekend. Morning Update: The Extreme Cold Warning has been expanded south to the DC Metro Area and Anne Arundel County. This is due to the prolonged nature of wind chills at and below zero, as well as the coldest wind chills right around -10F Saturday morning. We cannot stress enough how dangerous these wind chills will be for anyone outside for a prolonged period of time. Frostbite can occur in as little as 30 minutes on exposed skin. It is recommended you limit your time outdoors on Saturday, and if you do go outdoors be sure to dress in multiple layers and cover most, if not all, exposed skin (especially your face, ears, and hands). Additionally, the wind chills are now expected to get down to or just below 0 degrees in all of Central VA, so the Cold Weather Advisory has been expanded to cover that area.
