Temperatures are set to hit 10 to 25 degrees below average, leading to chilly weather over the next few days for areas east of the Mississippi River.
The National Weather Service Weather Prediction Center said in a Monday post on X that cold weather precautions should be taken.
"Cold temperatures, near or below freezing, on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings will be felt across areas that were impacted by the recent multi-day storms," the center said.
The National Weather Service in New York cautioned that temperatures will be in the low to mid-40s on Tuesday, but the wind "will make it feel more like it’s in the 20s in the morning and 30s in the afternoon."
