Chilly Nights, Mostly Dry Early; Late‑Week Showers

Widespread chilly nights and fog are expected early this week, with lows in the 30s and frost possible in parts of the Mid‑South and Kentucky; Dense Fog Advisories and isolated slick spots are in effect for portions of Wisconsin and south‑central Kentucky. Temperatures rebound midweek — Nebraska, Kansas and much of the central U.S. should see above‑average 60s–70s, Phoenix and parts of the Southwest will remain in the 80s–90s, and Gulf Coast locales like Tallahassee are forecast into the upper 70s to low 80s. Rain chances are generally limited and light early in the week, but a stronger cold front late in the week could bring more widespread showers to the Plains and usher cooler air into the eastern U.S. by next weekend. California's previously noted San Joaquin Valley Wednesday storm is no longer a central feature of the forecast, and winds are expected to strengthen midweek in some coastal areas, producing choppy marine conditions and occasional gusts. Internationally, central India (Bhopal region) is seeing sunny, warm days with above‑normal nights and thunderstorm/lightning advisories across many districts, while Chennai will stay very hot through Tuesday before easterly winds and scattered rains bring some relief midweek.
