In stark contrast to last week’s sunny weather, more than 100 million Americans will see temperatures drop below freezing this weekend.

At least 20 states are under a frost or freeze watch, warning or advisory in the morning on May 9. Although most of those states are in the Midwest or Northeast, the advisories stretch all the way down to Georgia and South Carolina.
