A broad cold-air surge is forecast to bring the season’s first freeze to more than 30 states east of the Rockies, with temperatures dropping into the 30s or lower by the weekend. The FOX Forecast Center says more than 90 million people were expected to feel below-average temperatures Thursday, rising to 230 million by Friday. Omaha and Kansas City are forecast to see their first widespread hard freezes, while Chicago and Detroit face their first sub-freezing temperatures of the year. The forecast also calls for patchy frost inland in northern Florida, while South Florida stays milder.
