A warm November behind them, forecasters in Southern California are now preparing for cold storms to move into the region.
One meteorologist examined the forecast models and said he knows they're due for a winter storm sometime this year. "The type we may be dealing with will be ranked up there with the known years before 1950, which set record low daytime temperatures into the forecast region." Kevin Martin of OWSweather.com said. "With this, may come low elevation snow."
He added that temperatures in Siberia, Russia will be -81 degrees this week. "With those types of temperatures the arctic air mass has to spill somewhere."
Meteorologists with the National Weather Service in Phoenix confirmed that there is a massive pool of cold air over Siberia.
The NWS said that system will affect the Valley this weekend and into next week.
Along with that, they added the potential for snowfall in Arizona's high elevations, is likely.
