A fierce cold snap is in the forecast for the central and eastern U.S. starting around Nov. 10, forecasters warned, with record-breaking cold possible.
"A cold outbreak will plunge into the U.S. this weekend and bring the coldest air of the season to the Midwest and Northeast, a widespread freeze into the Deep South with some record lows possible as far South as Florida," said Weather.com meteorologist Jonathan Erdman in an online forecast.
"Temperatures will feel more like mid-December or even Christmastime in many places by next week," AccuWeather meteorologist Paul Pastelok said.
On X, Weather Trader meteorologist Ryan Maue called it "historic cold" that "reminds me of Siberia!"
"A series of successive cold fronts will push south across the central and eastern U.S., ushering in a cold and dry Arctic air mass," the Weather Prediction Center said in an online forecast.
