The Climate Prediction Center is forecasting for us to have a cold end to January. The CPC has forecasted for us to be 80% below average in temperatures.

Here is a look at the GFS model from the end of January to the beginning of February. Now it should be noted that the GFS over does it sometimes. However, this is good for showing us a general idea of how low temps will go.

The model shows arctic air coming from Canada. Some days here in the Miami Valley, regular air temps, excluding wind chill values, could approach zero degrees. I have this particular model running from Jan. 25 to Feb. 6 and it shows the cold air continuing into February.
