A surge of Arctic air that smashed record low temperatures in Alaska late this past week is diving southward into the Lower 48, and will bring a return of winterlike conditions across the center of the country in the coming days.
Temperatures have soared to late-spring levels in recent days across the Plains, which will make the upcoming surge of chilly weather that much more dramatic. Temperatures that rose into the 70s and 80s F in places like Denver; Rapid City, South Dakota; and Amarillo, Texas; will fall 20 to 30 degrees short of what was observed in early April.
