A strong cold front is expected to bring significant weather changes across the Eastern U.S., including Florida, the Southeast, and areas up to the Gulf Coast, starting Monday ahead of a front. Meteorologists predict isolated showers and storms early in the week, followed by a notable drop in temperatures that could lead to frost and freeze conditions, with 32F readings likely. The cold snap, coinciding with the Spring equinox, is anticipated to bring near or below freezing temperatures, particularly Monday night into Tuesday morning, affecting areas where the growing season has already begun. This includes northeast Georgia, the South Carolina Upstate, and the southern North Carolina Foothills and Piedmont, prompting the issuance of a Freeze Watch upgraded to a Freeze Warning from midnight tonight through 10 AM EDT Tuesday. Residents are advised to protect sensitive vegetation and prepare for potential impacts on crops and outdoor plumbing. The weather outlook for the week also includes a dry spell with cooler air and cold nights, with rain expected to return by the weekend.
