Discussion
*Extreme cold is headed to the north-central US – potentially historic for places like Chicago - and it will spread to the east coast by mid-week*. A large scale trough will form in the eastern US over the next couple of days and it’ll lead to chilly weather around here. A strong cold front will pass through the region later tonight and Tuesday as low pressure slides through the Great Lakes. Rain is likely to change to accumulating snow toward daybreak and continue into early Tuesday with possible accumulations of 1-3 inches. Highs for much of the rest of the week should be way below normal for the Tennessee Valley and much of the central and eastern US.
