On Thursday, the Pacific Northwest faces off against yet another round of dampening rains, while a wide of variety of storm types malign the Eastern U.S. 

Twin low-pressure regions will revolve and intensify across the Midwest through the day. As such, expect isolated thunderstorms to rumble along the East Coast and far Lower Midwest, while severe thunderstorms organize from isolated cells into vicious storm lines to shake up the Mid-South. Threats of hail, damaging wind gusts, and a few tornadoes are likely to speckle the region into Thursday night.  

Further north, scattered showers take the helm Thursday afternoon in the Mid-Atlantic but could transition into partial-to-full snow showers in the interior Northeast after sunset, increasing in coverage into Friday. Snow flurries and wintry mixes are also on the radar for the Great Lakes, albeit in lesser amounts on Thursday morning. 

In the Pacific Northwest, both the warm and cold fronts of a new Pacific Low rise above the region, bringing scattered showers up to and just beyond the Cascades. Expect snow to pile over the tallest ridgelines of that chain toward midnight, and aside from isolated thunderstorms in South Florida, dry grounds dominate the western half of the nation. 

Spring continues to slowly yet steadily drive-up daily temperature averages across the U.S. on Thursday. Expect hot highs in the 80s and 90s across Southwestern valleys, Texas, and the Florida Panhandle. Moderate 70s and 60s will swath the South and separately, the Great Plains, the Lower Ohio Valley, and the Intermountain West under the insistent high-pressure ridge over the Western U.S. 

Slightly cooler 50s, 40s, and high 30s mark the rest of the nation, save for the most elevated peaks in the Rockies and Northeast. Expect the Upper Midwest, the Great Lakes, and the Northeast to continue to keep their cool.
