A notable warmup is ahead for the East later this week, which will be a big change from the relatively cool first half of May.
A shift in the pattern has already begun, with the jet stream no longer dipping far southward over the East like it has for much of May. The pattern so far this month has caused the Ohio and Tennessee valleys, along with much of the mid-Atlantic and Southeast, to experience a cooler than average first half of May, according to the Southeast Regional Climate Center.

A pattern change will gradually erode a stubborn May chill that has kept parts of the Plains, Midwest and South shivering so far this month.
Those eager to finally shed the jackets and break out the shorts in parts of the Midwest, Northeast and Plains have probably grown impatient so far this month. Last weekend, light snow fell over parts of Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
The first 10 days of the month were among the top 15% of coldest starts to May in Albany, New York; Columbus, Ohio; and Fort Wayne, Indiana, according to the Southeast Regional Climate Center.
