Unusual cold reaches the United States, affecting several regions

• Drastic drop in temperatures in key cities in the coming days.
• Cold air brings rain and possible snow mix.
• Frost expected in the southern U.S. this week.

The weather forecast for various regions of the United States has taken an unexpected turn with the arrival of a cold front.

It will affect areas from the Great Lakes to the Southeast.

According to AccuWeather, the cold air will cause lake-effect rain in areas near these bodies of water, while higher elevations could see a mix of rain and snow.

As the week progresses, cities like Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., will experience a significant drop in temperatures.

WHEN WILL THE COLD WEATHER ARRIVE IN THE US?

On Sunday, Philadelphia reached 80°F, but by Tuesday, it did not surpass 60°F.

This sudden change will force residents to switch from t-shirts to warmer clothing.

This same pattern will occur in Washington, D.C., where the thermometers will show a similar drop.

Temperatures will continue to drop in the coming days, and residents of Pennsylvania and New York are likely to experience the first mix of rain and snow of the season.

While snow accumulation won’t be significant on roads or paved surfaces, the extreme cold and strong gusts of wind will make it feel much colder than what the thermometer indicates.

AccuWeather warns that the cold air will continue to spread south and east during the week, reaching areas like Atlanta and Charlotte, where temperatures will fall below the historical average for this time of year.

Frost is expected to reach as far south as Alabama and Georgia, which may cause discomfort for those unprepared for the cold.

Despite this drop, temperatures are expected to recover by the weekend in the Ohio Valley and Mid-Atlantic, with warmer, rain-free weather in the forecast.
