Weather

An active pattern across the Heartland

Heavy rain will linger through the remainder of Friday across Maine, while snow will spread across parts of the Midwest. Through Saturday, the axis of heaviest snow—locally 4 to 10 inches—should stretch from Iowa to southern Lower Michigan. In the storm’s wake, snow squalls will develop downwind of the Great Lakes. In addition, cold air will briefly engulf most areas east of the Rockies. Meanwhile, rain showers will linger across Florida’s peninsula through the weekend. Much of the remainder of the U.S. should experience dry weather into early next week, when stormy weather will return to the Northwest. In advance of the Northwestern storminess, mild weather will return to the nation’s mid-section early next week. In contrast, sharply colder air will begin to overspread the western U.S.

Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of below-normal temperatures from the Pacific Coast to the northern and central High Plains, while warmer-than-normal weather can be expected in the western Gulf Coast region and from the Mississippi Valley to the East Coast. Meanwhile, below-normal precipitation in the Northwestern and Atlantic Coast States will contrast with wetter-than-normal conditions across the remainder of the U.S., including the Plains, Midwest, mid-South, and Southwest.
