I think this is the most vividly written weather briefing I've seen in some time:

THE ALBERTA CLIPPER WILL MOVE OFF THE NEW ENGLAND COAST OVERNIGHT
AND EXPLOSIVELY DEEPEN. A TIGHTENING PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL BE THE
RESULT AND ANOTHER FRIGID AIRMASS WILL RUSH INTO THE REGION FROM THE
NORTH THURSDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. ALTHOUGH THURSDAY WILL BE QUITE COLD
WITH A STIFF NORTH TO NORTHWEST WIND...THE REALLY COLD AIR WILL BE
DELAYED UNTIL FRIDAY. THEN...A RE-ENFORCING SHOT OF BITING COLD WILL
SWEEP SOUTHBOUND FROM EASTERN CANADA.

WIND CHILL READINGS ARE LIKELY TO DROP TO DANGEROUS LEVELS THURSDAY
NIGHT AND THROUGH THE DAY FRIDAY. THESE WIND CHILLS MAY GET AS LOW AS
15 DEGREES BELOW ZERO FOR LOCATIONS OUTSIDE OF THE NEW YORK METRO
AREA. THE CITY WILL NOT BE SPARED THOUGH WITH WIND CHILLS AS LOW AS
5 BELOW POSSIBLE FROM THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH THE DAY FRIDAY.

JUST AS THE FRIGID COLD STARTS TO LOOSEN ITS GRIP ON THE LOCAL
AREA...ANOTHER WINTRY WEATHER EVENT WILL BE UNFOLDING TO OUR WEST. A
VERY POTENT UPPER LEVEL STORM IS EXPECTED TO TEAM UP WITH A MOIST
DISTURBANCE MOVING OUT OF THE BAJA CALIFORNIA AREA.

Usually the National Weather Service is, shall we say, rather more prosaic in its bulletins.
