Massive temperature drop impacts Quebec, U.S.

A significant Arctic outbreak is expected to bring frigid temperatures across much of the U.S. starting Sunday, with some areas experiencing temperature drops of 20 to 40 degrees below average. Cities like Minneapolis could see highs of negative 3 degrees, while places such as Dallas and Atlanta will struggle to reach the low twenties. In addition to the cold, snow will impact regions from the Great Lakes to the Northeast, with Washington, D.C. potentially receiving two to five inches of snow on Sunday. Meanwhile, Quebec is bracing for heavy snowfall and a sharp temperature drop, with Montreal forecasted to reach its first -20°C reading of the season. Nova Scotia will also see rising temperatures this weekend before a cold snap brings overnight lows into the minus teens early next week. The cold weather across these regions is expected to last throughout the week, creating hazardous conditions and impacting travel plans.
