Today's Weather Outlook

Unsettled weather continues to spread eastward today as storms move into the Mid-South and East Coast.

In the Northeast, rain showers begin trickling down across New York through the day, while most areas in New England continue to see dry weather. The Mid-Atlantic will see a similar trend. Coastal areas will remain dry, while isolated showers and a few thunderstorms will move over the rest of the region. 

The South will also keep its Atlantic and Gulf coastlines dry as storms rumble in its interior this morning. Severe thunderstorms will reorganize in the Mid-South this afternoon and evening, with damaging winds, large hail, and tornadic activity all in play. Florida, however, will be thunderstorm-free, with some light rain at the southernmost point of the peninsula. 

In the far Lower Midwest, inclement weather returns this afternoon and evening in the form of strong-to-severe thunderstorms. The rest of the Midwest, however, will remain largely dry following Monday's storms.

The Mountain West will be relatively dry, with a rain and snow mix just clinging to the mountainous peaks. The Denver metropolitan area will not be as fortunate, as showers look to form this morning.

The West Coast will be primarily dry as well, with the only areas seeing precipitation being the mountainous peaks of the northern Cascades and Sierra Nevada. A rain and snow mix will bring a colder rain to the foothills, but the valleys should remain dry.  

The nation will largely warm up today, allowing for below-freezing temperatures to cling to the mountainous peaks of the Rockies, Sierra Nevada, and northern Cascades. Forty-degree temperatures will follow in the foothills of these regions, as well as in the northern Plains and northern Great Lakes. 

Fifties will be more common, appearing throughout the New England coastline, northern Plains, central Plains, Great Lakes, lowland areas of the Rockies, lowland areas of the Great Basin Desert, and the coastline of the Pacific Northwest. Sixties will also be rather common, being present in areas such as the Northeast, northern Mid-Atlantic, southern Plains, Pacific Northwest, California’s Central Valley, and southern California’s coastal areas. 

Some areas expecting warm 70s include the Ohio River Valley, Tennessee Valley, and southern Mid-Atlantic. Much of the Southeast will see 80s, as well as the Desert Southwest. Some areas will heat up to the 90s, but such heat will mostly be contained to Texas and Florida.
