US EditionMap Shows States Where Arctic Blast Will Strike Next Week
More than half of the U.S. will face frost and freeze conditions with temperatures dropping 20-30 degrees below average, impacting businesses and infrastructure, the Climate Prediction Center said.
- From November 9 to November 13, the Climate Prediction Center shows an Arctic blast sweeping the eastern and central United States, bringing December-like temperatures to cities like Joplin, Missouri and Atlanta.
- Meteorologists say the surge is driven by Arctic air from the Arctic region of Northern Canada pushed south by a tropopause polar vortex lobe and a strong high-pressure ridge across the western U.S.
- Some forecasts show temperatures plunging by up to 30°F below normal Sunday through Tuesday, with the Southeast facing 25- 35°F below normal and Florida highs 10-20 degrees below average.
- Widespread frost will cause the growing season to end across the central and eastern U.S., while power systems and unprotected plumbing face risks and businesses must prepare supply chains and outdoor operations.
- Forecasters expect the cold snap to be brief and temperatures to rebound by the end of next week, with meteorologists calling it the season's first true shot of winter that may rewrite local records.
