Winter Warmth Returns As 2026 Begins

January 3, 2026

A ridge of high pressure will develop across the Four Corners and Plains this weekend, allowing places like Denver, North Platte, Rapid City and Oklahoma City to see highs in the 60s. The above-average warmth will spread eastward next week. By Wednesday, Atlanta will be in the 70s and 50-degree highs will push as far north as Philadelphia. It will remain cold across the Great Lakes, but with temperatures expected to rise above freezing, expect plenty of snow to melt. Watch this video to see how warm it will get in your city.
