Frost Hits New England as 100°F Heat Grips the South
A sharp temperature divide will sweep across the U.S. this week, with fall-like cold arriving in the Northeast while summer heat persists across the Southern Plains. New England could see its first widespread frost and freeze conditions Tuesday, with some higher elevations dropping into the lower 30s. Meanwhile, Texas and Oklahoma could again exceed 100°F, with heat index values reaching 105–110°F. The contrast follows the hottest summer on record across the Lower 48 and an unusually warm start to September.
