Today's Weather Outlook

Wet weather pattern brings soaking rain to the Southeast, Northeast, and southern Plains.

Ample moisture remains in place across much of the central to southern Plains. Persistent rains and thunderstorms will continue throughout the day, especially in Texas. Showers will bring light to moderate rain to the High Plains of New Mexico, Colorado, and stretching eastward into Oklahoma and Kansas. Strong thunderstorms will be a threat once again in central to southern Texas with large hail, localized flash flooding, and damaging winds being the main threats.

The Deep South and Southeast will have showers and periods of steady rainfall move through in the morning hours. This activity will move eastward off the Atlantic coast by early afternoon, leaving behind puddles of much needed rainfall. More showers will move in for the late evening in the Deep South.

An impressive low-pressure system will move through the Northeast, bringing periods of heavy rain and showers. The entire Northeast will see rain in the morning before the rain moves out of the southern half in the early afternoon, being only a New England issue for the rest of the day. Over an inch of rain is expected in southern to central Maine!

A lobe of cooler air will work its way south and eastward out of Canada for much of the Northern Tier, east of the Rockies. Showers will drift through the Great Lakes, Midwest, Ohio Valley, and northern Plains. In the Upper Midwest, a few of these showers may mix in some wet snowflakes. Little to no snow accumulation is anticipated.

With this cooler air seeping southward, accumulating snowfall will be likely for the Rockies of Colorado and northern New Mexico. The high terrain may see well over 8 inches of fresh snowfall. In the lowlands, it will be a plain rain in much of New Mexico and even sneaking into southeast Arizona.

Besides a few showers in the Great Basin and Sierra Nevada mountains, the rest of the Western U.S. will be dry including the Pacific Northwest, northern Rockies, and West Coast. Another pocket of dry weather will belong to the southern Mid-Atlantic and Tennessee Valley.

The high terrain of the northern to central Rockies will feel 20s and 30s for high temperatures. Thirties and 40s will also stick to the rain-soaked High Plains and Upper Midwest. A mix of 40s and 50s will be felt in the Northeast, northern Mid-Atlantic, Ohio Valley, Lower Midwest, northern Plains, and Appalachians mountains. The Great Basin, central to southern Plains, and Tennessee Valley can anticipate 50s and 60s.

Warming up into the 60s and 70s will be Mid-South, southern Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Pacific Northwest, central to southern West Coast, and Four Corners. Seventies and 80s will heat up Florida, the Deep South, and the California Central Valley. The Desert Southwest and far southern portion of Texas will feel 80s and 90s for highs.
