Discussion
A major Arctic air outbreak has reached the interior northwest and north-central states and it will become quite a newsworthy event in coming days as it drops southward to Texas by later this week. Numerous low temperature records are likely to be set over the next few days in the central US all the way from the Canadian border to the Mexican border. The Arctic air mass will then begin a push to the east on Thursday and it’ll reach the Tennessee valley on Thursday night. After a mild day, temperatures could plunge by more than 30 degrees on Thursday night in the wake of the Arctic frontal passage and snow showers will be possible.
