A cold outbreak is plunging into the U.S. and bring the coldest air of the season to the Midwest and Northeast and a widespread freeze into the Deep South with their coldest early November air in 32 years, including Florida.
Not only will colder air plunge in, but it will be cold enough for some to see their first snow of the season. We have more details on that here.
Cold air started in the Upper Midwest Saturday and will spread through the East and South early this week.
Here's a general timeline of when you can expect the cold air to arrive:
- Monday: Most of the South including the northern Gulf Coast, northern Florida and East Coast
In most of the Midwest, South and East, these will be the coldest daytime temperatures of fall, so far.
On Monday, highs could be stuck in the 30s as far south as the southern Appalachians, and 40s will be as warm as it gets during the day from the Northeast's I-95 corridor as far south as parts of Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi. These could be record chilly highs for November 10 in places such as Huntsville, Alabama (43 degrees is their daily record), and Macon, Georgia (49 degrees is their daily record).
On Tuesday, highs struggling to reach 50 degrees in the coastal Carolinas could set record cold Veterans Day highs, there. Average highs in Charleston, South Carolina, this time of year are in the low 70s. Parts of central Florida may only rise into the low to mid-60s, also flirting with Veterans Day record cold highs.
Morning lows will plunge into the 20s as far south as the Florida and Alabama Gulf Coast, and even some 30s in northern and parts of central Florida by Tuesday. This will lead to a widespread freeze into the Deep South Tuesday morning, including parts of the northern Gulf Coast.
The cold could flirt with Veterans Day record lows in over a dozen locations in the Southeast including Savannah, Georgia (31 degrees), Mobile, Alabama (31 degrees), and Ft. Myers, Florida (45 degrees).
For Tuesday, numerous locations could see record lows broken. Atlanta's record for Tuesday is 26 degrees, and their low is forecast to around this point, As someone living in Atlanta, I am not excited to drip my faucets that night.
The record lows even could hit Florida, where cities as far south as Orlando and Tampa could tie record lows of 39 and 40 degrees respectively.
This could be the coldest early November outbreak in Florida and other parts of the Southeast in 32 years, since a Nov. 1993 outbreak produced a freeze in Gainesville, Florida, and plunged Birmingham, Alabama, to a frigid 24 degrees.
