East Turns Chilly While the West Keeps Sweltering
A sharp weather contrast is unfolding across the US as chilly fall air settles over the East while unseasonable heat grips the West Coast. A strong cold front is pushing daytime temperatures into the 50s and low 60s across parts of the Northeast, New England and Mid Atlantic, with overnight readings dropping into the 30s and bringing frost risks. Meanwhile, California faces temperatures near 100 degrees, with extreme heat warnings in Southern California through Thursday evening. Much of the West could remain 10 to 15 degrees above average before a minor cooldown Friday and Saturday.
