A blast of cold air has brought freeze warnings across portions of the Great Lakes, Midwest, and East. Temperatures will drop sub-freezing over the next few mornings. These temps can impact crops and sensitive vegetation with the potential to damage unprotected outdoor plumbing. These alerts will be in place through Tuesday morning. By midweek, temperatures will jump back to above average.

Monday & Tuesday mornings will be cold with temperatures in the 30s and 40s. Protect your plants and bundle up!

There is even the potential for record lows to break on Tuesday morning with sub-freezing temperatures. The dots on the map are cities that could tie or break record lows.

Some of these temperatures include the 20s for cities like Syracuse, NY which may break a record Tuesday morning.

The cold snap won't last long, as by Wednesday temperatures will rebound back to above average.
