WASHINGTON, D.C. — The central and eastern US are about to feel a lot cooler on Tuesday, September 22, compared to today, Sunday, September 20, according to a High Temperature Change forecast from Max Velocity. If you’re anywhere from Washington, D.C., to Nashville, this is the sharp pattern shift worth planning around as the new week begins.
Washington DC Faces the Most Dramatic Cooldown in the Country
If you’re in Washington, D.C., brace for the single sharpest temperature swing anywhere on the map: highs are forecast to plunge 23 degrees by Tuesday compared to today. That kind of drop stands out even on a map full of significant cooldowns, making the D.C. metro the clear epicenter of this week’s pattern change heading into the new week.
New York City Sees a Sharp 9 Degree Drop
Just up the coast, New York City is forecast to cool by 9 degrees by Tuesday. If you’re anywhere across the New York metro, expect a real, noticeable shift away from today’s warmth, even if it doesn’t quite match the dramatic swing forecast farther south in D.C.
Nashville and Charlotte Also See Double-Digit Cooldowns
Across the South Central US, Nashville is forecast for a striking 13-degree drop by Tuesday, one of the sharpest cooldowns anywhere outside the immediate D.C. area. Charlotte follows with its own solid 6-degree decrease. If you’re in either city, plan for Tuesday to feel meaningfully different from the weekend, with Nashville in particular seeing one of the more dramatic regional swings on this entire map.
Oklahoma City and Phoenix See Notable Cooling Too
Farther west, Oklahoma City is forecast to cool by 8 degrees by Tuesday, while Phoenix sees an even larger drop of 6 degrees. If you’re anywhere across the Southern Plains or Desert Southwest, expect a genuine, welcome break from recent warmth as this cooler air pushes through by the middle of the week…
