Final blast of winter chill for 180M+ in eastern US as temperatures return closer to average

Freeze Warnings cover more than 20 million people across the Southeast Wednesday, with more than 180 million over the broader eastern U.S. experiencing below-average temperatures. Residual Arctic air associated with the blizzard that slammed the Upper Midwest earlier this week kept morning low temperatures 10-20 degrees below average throughout much of the eastern half of the country. Temperatures will finally begin to rise closer to seasonal averages on Thursday.
