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.
