Begins to move in this weekend and it gets even COLDER next week. A piece of the polar vortex will break off sending FRIGID air all the way to the deep south late next week. Temps expected to run well below average in the east for the 2nd week of January #WCVB pic.twitter.com/xGR2sEvrQI

Colder air that moves in late week/weekend will have some staying power. Cold pattern next week too. Any snow chance will be based on storm track, which may be suppressed to our south. pic.twitter.com/POyzV2KoNO
