Sunday's Weather Outlook

May 8, 2021
By WeatherBug Meteorologist, Andrew Rosenthal
The weekend will end on a bit of a soggy note across large stretches of the U.S., including the Rockies, Ohio Valley and Lower Mississippi Valley.
 
A storm system rolling into the East will require Mom to bring an umbrella to brunch from the Ohio Valley to the Mid-Atlantic and southward into the Middle and Lower Mississippi valleys. Few breaks in the clouds will be found across these areas, making an outdoor meal a washout. Temperatures will also be abnormally cold across the Ohio Valley and interior Northeast, with highs only in the 40s and 50s.
 
Mom’s reaction to the weather across the Rockies will mirror that of tracking muddy shoes into the house. A disturbance diving southward along the spine of the mountains will bring rounds of rainfall to the Front Range, while the highest elevations of Wyoming, Idaho and Colorado could see a rain-and-snow mix. Temperatures will struggle as well, with highs only into the 30s and 40s.
 
Broad high pressure areas will stretch across the Southern Tier from California to Florida, with another area of high pressure off the New England coast. Mom will be in for a treat in the weather department, with plenty of sunshine. Temperatures will top the 70-degree mark in New England and will largely reach the 70s and 80s from southern California to Texas to Florida, with the warmest spots in the 90s.
