U.S. Cold Snap: Warming Trend Begins

A warming trend is expected across various regions in the U.S. as cold temperatures begin to ease. In Central Texas, after experiencing record cold, temperatures will slowly rise with cloudy skies and potential for light drizzle. Meanwhile, Connecticut and Alabama will see temperatures gradually increasing through the weekend, with highs reaching the 40s and 60s respectively. In the Northeast, including New England and the D.C. area, temperatures will also climb with sunny to partly cloudy conditions, reducing the impact of the recent cold spell. The warming trend continues in the Western U.S., with parts of California experiencing temperatures in the 70s and 80s, and no significant rain expected in the near future. Arctic warming, highlighted by the Western Hudson Bay region, serves as a warning of broader climate shifts, emphasizing the global nature of these temperature changes.
