Record Warmth Dominating Eastern US

January 8, 2026

Record highs and warm record lows will be in jeopardy through Saturday as temperatures end up 20-30 degrees above average. Chicago will see highs in the 50s on Thursday, while St. Louis climbs into the 60s and Nashville tops out in the 70s. The core of the warmth shifts east Friday and Saturday as a cold front drops temperatures back to reality from west to east this weekend. Another big warm-up is expected next week.
