Weather Forecast: Tonight, Tomorrow, Next Day, Five Days, 10 Days for the U.S. with some maps for the World posted late December 30, 2022 Plus the 28 Day Outlook

Updated at 7:40 p.m. EST Monday, January 2, 2023

Here is what we are paying attention to in the next 48 to 72 hours from Monday afternoon’s NWS Forecast. This is a combination of a U.S. plus World Weather Article. We have also incorporated much of what we normally issue on Friday Night which is basically the same report but with more images displayed rather than simply providing the links to make it easier for readers to look ahead 28 days. Saturday NOAA issued their End of Month Report which includes the updated outlook for January 2023. We want to feature that over the weekend so we have provided a link in the NOAA End of Month Article back to this article so those readers can visit this article to get the short-term weather forecasts.

We start with the U.S. Information.
