From AccuWeather.com last night:
"You may have heard the term a "Sharp Cold Front," and this is used in
reference to very rapid change to colder weather upon the fronts passing.
This is the case in the southern Plains where temperatures will go from
warmth typical of April down to the normal levels of late January. A sign
of this Tuesday afternoon was in northwestern Arkansas. At 3 p.m. CST, the
temperature in Springdale was a balmy 70 degrees, while just to the west in
Siloam Springs (about 20 miles apart) the temperature was 43."
Here is a plot of this data from AccuWeather.com SuperPremium:
