Record warmth is expected to sweep across the Central and Eastern United States this week, bringing temperatures more typical of April. After a cold and snowy start to winter, temperatures are forecast to rise into the 60s and 70s. In the South, temperatures could reach the 80s, with some areas in South Texas potentially hitting the 90s. This warm spell is expected to last into the weekend, with the Mid-Atlantic region, including Washington D.C., seeing highs near 70°F on Friday and Saturday. While the Central and Eastern U.S. experiences this unseasonable warmth, the West will see a shift to colder and snowier conditions.
