(Bloomberg) — Temperatures are dropping across the eastern half of the U.S., and they will take some records with them.

A blast of cold air will sweep across the Great Lakes into the Ohio Valley, and by Saturday it will be making things miserable for people outdoors in the mid-Atlantic states and Northeast, said Frank Pereira, a meteorologist at the U.S. Weather Prediction Center in College Park, Maryland.
