More than 100 million Americans are going to be pulling out their winter coats this weekend as a cold outbreak is expected to hit the Midwest and Eastern part of the United States.

This weekend and early next week, those from the Dakotas to the East Coast can expect a December-like cold, AccuWeather said.

The middle of the US will experience a significant drop in temperature coming Sunday, with areas like Nashville, Memphis, and St Louis seeing a drop of 20 to 30 degrees Fahrenheit.

Other areas, like Lexington, Kentucky, and New Orleans, Louisiana, will see between a 10- and 20-degree drop.

Atlanta, Georgia, is expected to be in the mid-40s on Monday, which is 20 degrees cooler than normal for this time of year.

However, everywhere East of the Dakotas will see temperatures 10 to 15 degrees below average, with some areas seeing a risk of a first snowfall just weeks ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday.

The Midwest and interior Northeast are at the highest risk of seeing a winter wonderland outside their windows between today and Tuesday. Some areas could see inches of snow, AccuWeather predicted.

Detroit will have the highest chance of getting snow this week, as areas close to Toronto and Montreal could see up to a foot of snow.
