The Bitterly Cold Temperatures Will Move into the East through Tuesday as the Dangerously Low Temperatures and Wind Chills Begin to Moderate Across the North-Central U.S.

• The cold temperatures over the central U.S. will be moving into the eastern third of the country on Tuesday behind a strong cold front that is exiting into the Atlantic. The cold temperatures with the gusty winds will result in dangerously cold wind chills across most of the Eastern Seaboard. Meanwhile, the dangerously cold temperatures across the nation's heartland will begin a slow moderation.
