During the past weekend, an initial blast of chilly air moved into the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes.
Yet another shot of even colder air is expected early this week, which will drop temperatures 10 to 20 degrees below average across most of the Midwest. This second blast of cold air will also surge into the southern and eastern states by Wednesday. By late week, another reinforcing shot of cold air will take over the central and eastern states. The three temperature forecast maps to the right illustrate the falling temperatures from the start to the end of the week.
The chilly temperatures will be the most persistent in the Midwest. Minneapolis, for example, will not warm out of the 40s through Saturday. Highs in the 40s will keep Chicago shivering throughout the new work week.
Portions of North Dakota, northern Minnesota, northern Wisconsin and northern Michigan will not get out of the 30s at times during the week ahead.
In the South, afternoon temperatures in the 50s are possible Wednesday and Friday in parts of Tennessee, northern Arkansas, northern Mississippi, northern Alabama, northern Georgia and North Carolina.
Of course, morning temperatures will be even colder. Many locations in the Midwest will see lows in the upper 20s and low 30s at times through the week ahead. By late week, lows in the 30s are possible as far south as northern Georgia and northern Alabama.
