Headline: Arctic Blast to Plunge Over Two Dozen States into Deep Freeze
[CITY, STATE] – A wave of Arctic air is poised to sweep across the United States this weekend and early next week, sending temperatures plummeting to winter-like levels in over two dozen states. The unseasonably cold weather will first impact the Midwest before spreading south and east, threatening record lows and bringing the possibility of the season’s first snowfall to many areas.
Beginning Saturday, the Midwest will experience temperatures 10 to 20 degrees below average, with wind chills making it feel like December. Cities like Minneapolis will face wind chills in the teens by Sunday morning, with actual temperatures struggling to reach freezing. The cold will spread, impacting areas from the Plains to the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys. Chicago and St. Louis are expected to see temperatures 15 degrees below normal.
“This is a significant cold snap, bringing the coldest temperatures many areas have seen since spring,” said CNN Meteorologist Chris Dolce.
Monday will bring the brunt of the cold for the eastern two-thirds of the US, with low temperatures potentially reaching as far south as Texas and east to the Appalachians. Buffalo, New York, can anticipate temperatures dropping into the 20s Monday morning. The Southeast will be particularly hard-hit, with Atlanta potentially seeing a dramatic drop from nearly 70 degrees on Sunday to the mid-40s on Monday, with lows in the upper 20s by Tuesday.
Record low temperatures are possible Tuesday morning across parts of Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, southeast Louisiana and Florida, including cities like Birmingham and Huntsville, Alabama; Baton Rouge, Louisiana; Savannah, Georgia; and Tampa and Fort Myers, Florida. Even Washington, D.C., and New York City will experience their coldest morning of this stretch, with temperatures near freezing and wind chills in the lower to mid-20s.
While the deep freeze will be brief, with temperatures expected to rebound to near or above normal by Tuesday in the central US and Wednesday in the East, the cold air mass increases the chance of the first snowfall of the season for some regions. Lake-effect snow is anticipated downwind of the Great Lakes, with potential accumulations in Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New York. A mix of rain and snow, or even the first snowflakes, is also possible in cities like Chicago, Milwaukee, and Rochester, Minnesota. Snow could even fall as far south as the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys, with higher elevations in the Appalachians seeing accumulating snow.
