A strong cold front will plow across the nation this week behind a strong low pressure system, yielding the potential for heavy winter precipitation and the coldest temperatures of the season. Temperatures ahead of the front will sore into the 70s and 80s, with low temperatures behind the front in the 20s as far south as Texas by Thursday. A second area of low pressure will develop along the front in Texas Wednesday night ahead of a powerful vort max, and will move northeastward along the front into the Ohio River Valley. This low pressure area will induce heavy precipitation behind the cold front in below-freezing temperatures, resulting in dangerous driving conditions and power outages. Winter storm watches will likely be issued tonight and tomorrow from OK/KS into MO, where freezing rain and snow will be likely by mid-week. Displayed below are the WRF forecast temperatures and 12-hr precipitation by Thursday morning.

Looks like the only thing you'll be chasing is the snow ploughs or the rear end of you family truckster as it begins to swing around and meet you at the driver's side window! Brrrrrr, cold!
