Cancel all your plans this week—you’re staying indoors. The North Pole has unleashed "a large pool of Arctic air" that’s headed straight to the U.S., setting the stage for "record cold temperatures and dangerously cold wind chills," warns the National Weather Service in a new report.
Already this week, parts of Montana saw wind chills drop to minus-50 Fahrenheit, while North Dakota had wind chills as low as minus-60—leading the NWS to warn of "life-threatening cold," as the Associated Press reported. Unfortunately, the cold spell is just beginning. Keep reading to see how your region will be impacted.

North Pole-level wind chills and temperatures will strike 20 states this week, marking the country’s 10th consecutive polar vortex of the season. The Midwest and Northeast will face the brunt of the storm, with some areas dipping 40 degrees below zero. The harshest of conditions are expected to hit these regions on Wednesday and Thursday.
"A potent high pressure system" is churning in the heartland, bringing an "extremely cold airmass" and "accumulating snow, sleet, and freezing rain" in the coming days, says the NWS. It’s going to feel like an "Arctic freezer."
By midweek, meteorologists are predicting the storm to take a nosedive—meaning southern states like Mississippi and Georgia could hit below freezing as well. "One final surge of arctic air follows down through Texas in the wake of the storm with record lows," reports AccuWeather senior meteorologist Joe Lundberg. "The cold will then envelop the entire nation east of the Mississippi from late [this] week into [the] weekend."
Before you go outside, check the "feels like" radar on your phone’s weather app—extreme wind gusts will make it feel 20 to 40 degrees colder. Data from The Washington Post shows a "mass of freezing air" surging eastward from Montana to the Atlantic coast, dipping as far south as Oklahoma. As for what your region can expect, the WaPo put together the following breakdown:
"Extreme Cold Warnings and Cold Weather Advisories are currently span across the northern Plains and upper Midwest down to central Texas. Be sure to dress in layers including a hat, face mask, and gloves if you must go outside," reads a stark alert from the NWS.

"The eastward and southward expansion of the cold early [this] week sets the stage for the next storm in the pipeline, one that will spread snow across portions of Nebraska, Kansas and northern Oklahoma into Missouri Monday night and Tuesday," said Lundberg.
A fresh blanket of snow and "a swath of sleet/freezing rain" will hit the Pacific Northwest and Gulf Coast starting Wednesday, says the NWS.
AccuWeather reports this storm may produce "some of the heftiest snowfalls" to hit the mid-Atlantic and southeastern New England this winter. However, this means major cities like New York City and Washington D.C. might not see snow at all. The Washington Post put the following snow tracker together:
ANDY MURRAY could coach Novak Djokovic at Wimbledon after they agreed to continue working together “indefinitely”.
Muzza’s shock partnership with the 24-time Grand Slam champion was only supposed to be for one tournament – last month’s Australian Open.
But the Serbian, 37, says the two will work together across the North American Swing in March – at Indian Wells and Miami – and the European clay-court season, which starts in April.
And this opens the door to a possible collaboration at Wimbledon in late June, 12 months after the Scotsman said a teary-eyed goodbye to the Centre Court crowd in a playing capacity.
Djokovic, the world No.7, said: “We had a chat the day after I finished (the Australian Open). We reflected on Australia and the period that we spent together.
“We agreed he was going to go back and take some time and think, speak with his family members and see if he decides to keep working.
“Because I expressed my desire to continue the collaboration with him, so I am really glad that he did accept.
“It is indefinite in terms of how long we are going to work together.
“But we agreed we are going to work most likely in the States and then some clay-court tournaments. Then we will see how it goes after that.”
Murray, 37, retired from the sport after last summer’s Paris Olympics, having won two Wimbledon titles, the US Open, the Davis Cup and two Olympic singles gold medals in a decorated career.

In Melbourne, Djokovic benefited from Murray’s advice, beating Carlos Alcaraz to reach the semi-finals before pulling out with a leg injury while a set down to German Alex Zverev.
The duo, born a week apart, had a fierce rivalry and Djokovic won 25 of the 36 meetings against Murray as they jostled for silverware between 2006 and 2017.
`The seven-time Wimbledon champion added: “It was exciting for the whole tennis world and also for us to be in different roles together on the same side of the net.
“Andy obviously has a unique perspective on my game. He has played me and played all of the current best players in the world and he knows everyone well.
“He knows exactly what we need to do tactically – we talk about tactics and my game, the evolution of my game and what needs to be improved.
“He has a positive approach and has handled the whole pressure of being there very well as it is a completely different situation as a player.
“He has been terrific with all the other team members and while it was unfortunate the way the Australian Open finished with injury, nonetheless we had a great run.”
THE Wanted 2.0 have been forced to cancel their upcoming gig at Manchester Cathedral.
Max George was due to perform alongside bandmate Siva Kaneswaran next Thursday but will now be unable to following his secret second heart op.
An announcement regarding the show reads: “Event has been postponed. New date to be announced in due course
“Info: Postponement due to health issues.”
Max, 36, was admitted to A&E last December and had heart surgery and a pacemaker fitted after doctors discovered a heart block, which caused his heart to beat abnormally.
And over the weekend he revealed he had to undergo a secret second heart operation after his pacemaker wires were inserted too deeply.
The Wanted 2.0 are due to perform exclusively as part of the Echoes 2025 series at the Cathedral on Feb 27.
Fans expressed their concern earlier this week about the upcoming show and will no doubt be devastated by the news.
Speaking to The Sun on Sunday recently, Max opened up about his health and scary second operation.
“I was trying to get back to good health but was still having a flickering sensation for weeks after I had my pacemaker fitted and it was gradually getting worse and worse.
“When my heart rate went up, it was causing a shock in my heart which was making me jump all the time.
“My chest was shaking,” he added.
After several visits to the hospital, it was only when a representative from Max’s pacemaker company Medtronic was visiting the ward by chance, that they were able to get to the bottom of his discomfort.
He was booked in for his second operation straight away, on January 15, but was warned that the rare situation could cause a dangerous bleed on his heart.
He said: “The night before, I was really nervous, I didn’t sleep much.
“I was worried it could go wrong again and felt anxious that it could bleed out.”
But the operation went well and he was “pleased it had gone successfully”.
He later told fans he was hoping to be back to his old self in a few weeks.
