Midwest Thawing Out After Record Breaking Cold

Good riddance. Many locations are saying good-bye to the dangerous cold that plagued much of the beginning of the week. As some of the Central U.S. sees the cold weather alerts drop off for Wednesday morning, other areas keep holding on to the chilly temperatures. Most of the Eastern U.S. and Gulf Coast will still be feeling very cold the next few mornings.

Temperatures farther south will also hold on to colder temperatures than normal for the next few mornings. Some of that has to do with the fresh snowpack that fell on Tuesday.

Towards the end of the month, the longer-range temperature forecast shows more normal conditions across a large portion of the country. However, there will be pockets of colder air compared to normal. A couple of these spots include Southern California and the Northeast. The Northern Plains are anticipated to be warmer than normal from Jan 26 - 30.You will find more watching your top weather headlines on WeatherNation, along with your regional forecasts.
