Today's Weather Outlook

Unsettled weather persists across the Eastern U.S., while much of the West enjoys pleasant weather conditions. 

The Southeast, Mid-South, and Deep South will continue to see showers and storms to start the work week. With moisture still in place and disturbances moving through these regions, wet weather will be a threat once again. Storms will be particularly strong along the Atlantic coast from North Carolina to northern Florida. Damaging wind gusts and localized flash flooding will be the main threats. 

Further to the north, a cold front will push some periods of steady rain through the Ohio Valley in the morning. In the afternoon, this rainfall will move through the Mid-Atlantic. While light totals being all that is anticipated, an umbrella may be needed. 

In the Northeast, this cold front will bring cooler air and the chance for light rain showers. This shower activity will begin to dry out as night falls over the region. 

A corridor of high pressure will present itself in the Central U.S. bringing drier weather. This will include the Midwest and central to southern Plains. However, a fast-moving disturbance will slide through Southern Canada and provide the northern Plains with rain showers, especially late in the day. 

Besides a couple showers drifting through the high terrain of the northern Rockies, the Western U.S. will be dry and particularly warm. It will be a good day to get out and enjoy the weather in the Pacific Northwest, Great Basin, Four Corners, and along the West Coast. Be careful though of the heat in the Desert Southwest! 

Forties and 50s will be common for high temperatures in the Northeast and Upper Midwest. The high terrain of the northern Rockies, Ohio Valley, and Mid-Atlantic will feel 50s and 60s. Warming up into the 60s and 70s will be the Lower Midwest and Pacific Northwest. 

Seventies and 80s are anticipated in the, Mid-South, Southeast, Deep South, Great Basin, Four Corners, northern to central West Coat, and in the entirety of the Plains. Florida and California's Central Valley will be in for 80s and 90s, while the Desert Southwest can expect 90s and a multitude of temperatures above 100 degrees!
