It's been a while since we've seen record cold pop up in the forecast, as average and above-average warmth have dominated thermometers. A shift in high pressure allows for cooler temperatures to make their way in, and it's closer than we think!

Many have been dealing with triple-digit heat across the southern U.S. over the last few weeks. The high-pressure ridge is going to make a slight shift, sharing the record-breaking heat with the East Coast. While the South continues to roast, this slight shift makes room for record-breaking cooler air to enter the Northwest as early as Sunday.

Deep blue hues can be seen on the TemperatureRadar for this weekend, with Burns, Ore., possibly breaking a low temperature record of 31°F from 1999 Sunday morning. Time to get out the big coats!
