Meanwhile,
A surge of freezing air will hit the East. It could be the last of the season. Across more than 20 states, temperatures will dip to levels more typical of March. Frosty conditions will stretch from the Dakotas to the Appalachians as windswept snowflakes fly across the Great Lakes and northern New England. On Wednesday morning, freezing temperatures will be found from the Dakotas to northern New England, with 40-degree low temperature readings stretching as far south as the Florida Panhandle, as much as 10 to 15 degrees below average for the time of year.
Temperatures on Thursday morning will be even colder than Wednesday for areas from Michigan to Maine and southward into the Appalachians. Low temperatures will fall below freezing in western Virginia and western North Carolina, with Washington dipping into the 30s — potentially for the last time this season.
