Cold Snap and Snow Expected Across Eastern U.S.
US · Published Nov 11, 2026
• A significant drop in temperatures is expected across much of the U.S. east of the Mississippi River, with lows dipping into the 20s and 30s °F (-6 to 1 °C) by Saturday, November
• Areas from northeastern Texas to northern Florida and the Interstate 95 corridor of the Carolinas are at risk of frost and freeze conditions, potentially ending the growing season in some communities. Additionally, lake-effect snow is forecasted for the Great Lakes region, particularly in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, where several inches of snow may accumulate from Thursday, November 12, into early Friday, November 13, and beyond. These conditions are attributed to a cold air mass moving through the region, as noted by NOAA's Weather Prediction Center and AccuWeather meteorologist Tyler Roys.

Impact & Risks

The cold temperatures pose a risk to sensitive crops, potentially ending the growing season in areas experiencing prolonged freezing conditions. Communities in northeastern Texas, northern Florida, and the Carolinas' Interstate 95 corridor are particularly vulnerable to frost and freeze damage. In the Great Lakes region, multi-banded lake-effect snow driven by northerly winds could lead to hazardous travel conditions, especially in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, where several inches of snow are expected to accumulate.
