A dramatic temperature swing is expected this week, as a cold front heads towards the U.S. affecting millions.
HISTORIC HEAT WAVE EXPANDS INTO CENTRAL US AFTER WEEKS OF RECORD HEAT IN THE SOUTHWEST
According to the FOX Forecast Center, ahead of the cold front, a surge of warm and above-average temperatures will impact St. Louis, MO to New York City on Thursday. Some areas will reach the 70s and 80s.
But as the blast of cold air moves in, those locations’ temperatures will drop to the 40s and even 30s.
