Cold front brings unseasonably cool temperatures
A significant cold front is set to bring unusually cool weather to the eastern United States in mid-March, following a strong storm in the Great Lakes region. Temperatures are expected to rise briefly before the front arrives, but will then drop significantly, ranging from 10 to 20 degrees below the historical average for this time of year. Strong northwesterly winds will exacerbate the cold, creating lower wind chill temperatures, particularly in the Great Lakes and Northeast areas. Residents are advised to prepare for conditions that feel much colder than the actual air temperature by dressing in layers and taking precautions against frostbite and hypothermia.
