Northeast and East Coast maybe will be spared from incoming extreme coldwave, but southern parts of Midwest and northern parts of South should already next workweek (26.-30. October) reports really powerful winter conditions, with blizzard, regionally, freezing temperatures and snow in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kentucky or Tennessee, or even in northern parts of Mississippi and Alabama!
Above Rocky Mountains should flow extremely cold air with T850 hPa around -20°C what will be linked with deadly frosts and blizzard conditions during this incoming expected coldwave.
