The weather pattern will feature big temperature swings over the northeastern United States into the first week of the new year.
In the span of a week, from Tuesday, Dec. 27, to Tuesday, Jan. 3, AccuWeather RealFeel® Temperatures may plunge and rise by as much as 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
Some people will be reaching for midwinter coats one day, then seeking lightweight outerwear the next.
"The jet stream will plunge southward and pull northward a couple of times over the next week to 10 days," according to AccuWeather Long-Range Meteorologist Mike Doll.
The jet stream is a fast river of air located at a height above the ground where jets cruise at. The jet stream guides weather systems along and often separate cold air to the north from warm air to the south.
Mild air lingering across the region early this week will slip away later this week.
