A clash of seasons will continue across the U.S. today, with summer-like temperatures searing the Mid-Atlantic and South. Snowflakes will be flying across parts of the Rockies.
The focus area today, however, will be in between these regions, where a cold front moving through the Mississippi Valley will lead to rain and thunderstorms. A few of these storms could bring gusty winds and hail, but the primary threat from Minnesota to Texas and Wisconsin to Louisiana will be heavy rainfall.
Downpours will create flood conditions, particularly in those areas that have already seen wave after wave of rain over the past week. If you come across water in the road, “Turn Around, Don’t Drown!”
Meanwhile, an upper-level disturbance will careen through the Pacific Northwest and northern Rockies today. With enough cold air in place, snow will grace parts of Idaho and Montana, with higher elevations of Wyoming and Colorado possibly seeing flakes as moisture spreads southward. Lower elevations of the Pacific Northwest will be privy to a chilly rain.
Aside from coastal showers across New England and afternoon sea-breeze thunderstorms in Florida, the eastern half of the U.S., as well as the Southwest, will see high pressure and dry weather throughout the day today.
Highs will climb in to the 90s from the Ohio Valley to the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast, with 80s stretching as far north as the southern shores of the Great Lakes and the New York metro region. Likewise, 80s and 90s will be the north in the Southwest and Texas, while a ribbon of 70s stretches from interior California to the central Plains and even into southern New England.
May-like temperatures will be a bit harder to find across the Northwest, Northern Plains and northern New England. Here, 50s and 60s will be the extent of the mercury’s climb on Thursday, with a few Rocky Mountain locations stuck in the 40s and even 30s.
