MORNING HEADLINES | Forecasts show that temperatures across the state could plunge from 70s to the 20s early next week in what will be the coldest week of the season so far.
After a cold front fueled by a polar vortex sweeps across the state Sunday, lows could hit the mid-20s by Tuesday in the Upstate, while the coast may experience temperature in the mid-30s, forecasters say. They also are predicting scattered showers and thundershowers.
By the end of next week, temperatures are expected to return to seasonal averages.
