• Forecasters predict a cooler-than-normal May for much of the eastern United States, with the Midwest experiencing the most significant drop in temperatures.
• According to the Climate Prediction Center's meteorologist Brad Pugh, overnight lows in the Midwest could reach freezing levels.
• AccuWeather's Paul Pastelok notes that the eastern half of the country will feel more like early spring, with frequent cloud cover.

Why It's Important?

This weather pattern is attributed to a dip in the jet stream over the U.S., which is expected to shift by the third week of May, allowing warmer air to move in.
