There’s a chance of snow this weekend before temperatures are expected to drop to the single digits next week due to a blast of arctic air.

The polar vortex's blast of Arctic air from Canada brought the season's coldest weather to the majority of U.S. The vortex is forecast to provide frigid weather as it continues to bring sub-zero temperatures to the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and plunge deep into the South.

A blast of Arctic air is set to cover much of the United States with temperatures below freezing starting on Friday and into next week, impacting millions of Americans in nearly all of the contiguous states.

However, a deep freeze, thanks to the polar vortex dipping down from Siberia, is about to bring even harsher arctic blast to nearly 300 million Americans starting this weekend. Maps show where and when the cold front will arrive.

Snow and winds are likely to disrupt traffic, trigger flight cancellations, and cause headaches for people traveling to D.C. for Inauguration Day. Baby, it’s cold outside, and it’s about to get even colder for much of the United States.
