Plains Temps Surge, Northeast Finally Warms Up

February 15, 2026

A major warming trend will affect 207 million people as above-average temperatures spread eastward from this weekend through Wednesday. The jet stream pattern will drive temperatures 20 to 30 degrees above normal, with the 60s reaching as far north as Chicago and the Northeast finally getting in on the warmth. Multiple record highs are possible Monday and Tuesday, with temperatures reaching the 70s across the Plains and from Boston to Atlanta by Wednesday, and 80s in South Texas. Watch for the latest on this widespread warmup.
