According to NatGasWeather for January 30 to February 4, “A dangerous polar blast continues to impact the Midwest with frigid temperatures of -40F to -20sF, with -20s to 0s across the Ohio Valley and Northeast, and 20s and 30s into the South and Southeast.
There will be scattered snows across the Great Lakes and Northeast while a wintry mix exits the South/Southeast. The polar blast will exit Friday with strong warming to follow this weekend into next week across the South & East. The West will be mild across coastal states with increasing showers, while colder into the Mountain West.
Overall, national demand will be very high Wednesday to Friday, easing to moderate to low this week-end. The expiration of the February futures contract may have also contributed to the short-covering rally on Tuesday.
