A"pneumonia front" will hit the Chicago area Tuesday, sending temperatures plummeting in a matter of minutes, but what is it and when will it hit?
NBC 5 Storm Team meteorologist Brant Miller said the term typically refers to a"backdoor cold front" influenced by Lake Michigan, in which the front comes from the northeast rather than the north and west. Cold fronts that race south over Lake Michigan in the early spring and summer can cause temperatures to drop dramatically. According to experts it is essentially a more-intense version of the lakefront breezes that typically cause lower temperatures near the lake during the summer months., the term “pneumonia front” was first coined by the National Weather Service’s Milwaukee office in the 1960’s.
