A fresh Arctic surge is powering down through the United States and could herald record-breaking low temperatures in the middle of next week.

According to the National Weather Service (NWS), record lows for mid-November could be recorded as far south as Texas and from Arizona to the east coast. A cold front is expected to move south on Saturday and Sunday, bringing night-time temperatures in the northern Midwest states to the teens. Meanwhile, the NWS has issued freeze warnings right down to the Gulf of Mexico later on Monday.
