Starting on Thursday, the bitter blast of cold air will surge south and east. That will send temperatures tumbling from the southern Plains to the Southeast and Midwest.
Morning low temperatures in the teens and single digits are likely as far south as Oklahoma, Arkansas and Tennessee, according to the FOX Forecast Center, while temperatures will remain in the teens from central Texas to Georgia.
In fact, this may be the coldest air in at least five years in Mississippi.
And the cold air is expected to remain in these areas, with a high probability that below average temperatures will persist over much of the country's eastern half into next week.
We are going to have single digits here in Mississippi. When it is like that, we stay in. If it snows or we have ice, we hibernate until it is gone. I do not know how people up north cope with all that snow and ice. I am more of a Bermuda shorts type of winter guy. I don't think I have but 6 pair of long pants and a couple of jeans but I have 40 pair of shorts! KEK
People in Michigan wear shorts all winter. I call them stupid.
We were on the beach in Pensacola a few years ago metal detecting. Temp was in the 40's and the wind blowing off the ocean made it cold to these old bones and we met several couples walking the beach in shorts and short sleeve shirts. We were wrapped up like an Eskimo. When we asked them, they said they were from Traverse City and came down every year to spend the winter. I knew they were not from the South! Kek
