A dramatic change is on the way as a robust cold front delivers the first hefty dose of fall weather by the weekend, sending temperatures tumbling by as much as 35 degrees.
The cooldown is welcome news for millions in the South that have endured a brutally hot summer and a roasting start to fall. Relief from the heat will make it as far south as the Gulf Coast. States like Louisiana — which endured its hottest summer on record this year — will have below-normal afternoon temperatures for the first time since spring. The change will begin in portions of the Plains and Midwest that have been baking in record-breaking October heat since Saturday.
Places like Detroit and Cleveland – that soar into the upper 80s on Wednesday – may not climb out of the low 50s on Sunday. Philadelphia and New York City will likely bask in the 80s through at least Wednesday, but by Sunday, high temperatures will struggle to reach the low 60s. Overnight low temperatures will also plummet behind these fronts.
