UPDATED By WeatherBug Meteorologists
After an eventful weekend that resulted in heavy snow to the interior Northeast thanks to a potent cold front, frigid weather is expected this morning. These chilly temperatures won’t last long as Mother Nature will deliver a warm up to the Eastern U.S. later this week.
The previous low pressure system and its associated cold front pounded the Eastern U.S. yesterday, bringing heavy snow, strong winds and frigid temperatures. Anywhere from 2 to 6 inches of snow coated the Mid-Atlantic while 6 to 10 inches of snow blanketed the interior Northeast.
In the cold front’s wake, a round of frigid air remains this morning. Morning lows will be well below freezing for the majority of the Eastern Seaboard with the exception of Florida. The Ohio and Tennessee valleys as well as the Northeast can expect morning lows in the teens while Maryland southward to Georgia as well as Mississippi and Alabama can expect temperatures in the 20s this morning. Florida will be above freezing, but morning temperatures will still be on the chilly side with 30s and low 40s expected.
Freeze Warnings currently blanket a good chunk of the Southeast and Gulf Coast, including New Orleans, Jackson, Miss., Birmingham and Montgomery, Ala., Atlanta, Augusta and Savannah, Ga., Columbia and Charleston, S.C., and Tallahassee and Jacksonville, Fla. With these unseasonably cold temperatures, crops and other plants will be threatened across much of the South. Remember to either cover potted plants with a blanket or bring them inside to avoid cold weather damage.
These chilly temperatures won’t last long as seasonable warm weather will return by Monday and continue through this week.
