A Big Pattern Change Will Funnel Arctic Air Into the US. Here’s Where Temperatures Will Drop
Arctic air will cause temperatures 10 to 15 degrees below normal with freezes and early snow for millions across the Midwest, South, and Northeast, meteorologists said.
- This weekend, a cold outbreak will plunge into the U.S., bringing the coldest air of the season to the Midwest and Northeast and a freeze into the Deep South, with early snow risk in the Great Lakes.
- A cold front will push south and east, allowing December-like Arctic air from near the North Pole to spread into the northern U.S. with temperatures 10 to 15 degrees below normal across much of the Plains, Midwest and Ohio Valley by Sunday night.
- Highs will be stuck in the 30s in the Northern Plains and western Great Lakes, Minneapolis will fall from mid-to-upper 40s Friday to upper 30s Saturday, and Chicago will struggle to reach around 40 degrees Sunday.
- Travel impacts are likely as roads stay wet then freeze at night, with a freeze into the Deep South by Monday morning and snow possibly accumulating in Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York through Monday night.
- Milder air is expected to return to the mid-section by midweek, with temperatures rebounding near or above normal on Tuesday and Wednesday, though the Northeast may stay colder as a front arrives from Canada on Sunday.
