Overview
- A first cold front cleared many regions Sunday, leaving breezy, cooler conditions with National Weather Service–noted gusts up to 38 mph in parts of the Mid‑Atlantic and wind chills dropping into the 20s and 30s in some Southern areas.
- Guidance points to a reinforcing front arriving Wednesday, with light rain in some areas likely to flip briefly to snow as colder air returns across parts of the Midwest and Northeast.
- Late week turns colder behind the midweek front, with inland lows commonly in the 20s by Thursday–Friday and 30s to low 40s near the Gulf and Atlantic coasts; forecasts cite upper‑20s lows on Louisiana’s Northshore and upper‑30s to low‑40s along the South Shore.
- Several outlets highlight another system or front late week into the weekend that could alter precipitation type or track, though model uncertainty keeps specifics on timing and intensity unresolved.
- Coastal and marine hazards persist in select regions, including a Beach Hazards Statement for California’s Central Coast for sneaker waves and strong rip currents as elevated seas continue.
