NorCast’s Long-Range Winter Forecast for the Rest of the Season

Get an inside look at the long range forecast for the rest of the season from Norcast Consulting.

January 21, 2026 | Staff Editor

As winter settles in, long-range visibility becomes critical for planning, staffing, and operations. We wanted to share what the broader winter pattern is shaping up to look like for the remainder of the season, based on the latest long-range data from NorCast Consulting.

This outlook goes beyond short-term forecasts and daily app updates, focusing instead on temperature and precipitation trends that matter weeks in advance.

Long-Range Forecast

A very memorable wintry stretch is taking shape. Not only is Arctic air involved, but Siberian (polar) origins are driving this pattern, increasing the potential for extreme cold and impactful winter weather. Wind chills below -30 are possible at times over the next week.

A major winter storm is expected this weekend, with additional large storm threats likely reloading into early February. After that, the pattern appears more variable, with periods of moderation mixed with renewed wintry risks. The forecast also examines early signals for spring as we move deeper into February.
