Lows of zero degrees Fahrenheit (minus 18 Celsius) for Chicago and single-digit readings from Washington to Boston are possible by next week, said Matt Rogers, president of Commodity Weather Group LLC.
Average temperatures in the eastern U.S. are expected to be at least 3 degrees below normal from Minnesota to Alabama and across the East from Jan. 20 to 24, said Rogers, based in Bethesda, Maryland. That would be followed by a more widespread and intense outbreak of cold from Jan. 25 to 29.
