The weather is expected to cool down soon, with a notable cooldown beginning this week. A cold front is moving through the north-central United States starting Friday, bringing fall-like temperatures that will extend south and east over the weekend and into early next week. This cooler air mass is expected to bring temperatures reminiscent of late September or early October in many regions, with a sustained cooler pattern predicted to last through at least early September, potentially through Labor Day weekend. This cooldown will bring highs generally in the 70s for much of the Midwest, Plains, and parts of the South, and cooler nights with temperatures dipping into the 50s and even 40s in some areas. This pattern marks a significant respite from recent summer heat and is expected to linger rather than be a brief break.
