Arctic Blast Settles into the Southeast

Rounds of arctic air have been funneling in from the north, and those bitterly cold temperatures remain this week. There are widespread cold alerts (above) from the Midwest all the way down to the Gulf Coast! Millions are waking up and feeling the chill Monday morning. Feels like temperatures have dropped anywhere from -15° to -25°.

High pressure will slide in over the next day or two, bringing back some thawing temperatures. We'll start to feel better by this afternoon, with temperatures threatening some record highs by Tuesday!

Tell that to folks waking up in the southeast, though! The wind chill has falling into the single digits here!

The thaw here will take a day or two, with temperatures closer to average by the middle of the week.
