Weather
Stormy pattern along both coasts
For the remainder of Friday, recent rainfall will continue to aggravate stream and river flooding in the central and eastern Corn Belt and the interior Southeast. Farther north, snow will fall across the eastern Great Lakes region and the Northeast, accompanied by strong winds. In fact, high winds could topple trees and result in power outages in portions of the Mid-Atlantic region. Meanwhile, one of the most impressive storms of the season will continue to affect the West into the weekend. Early next week, the storm will cross the nation’s midsection, potentially producing heavy snow across the northern Plains and upper Midwest. In contrast, dry weather will prevail during the next 5 days across Florida’s peninsula and the southern High Plains.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of near- to below-normal temperatures nationwide, except for warmer-than-normal weather in parts of the Southwest and Northeast. Meanwhile, near- to above-normal precipitation in the Pacific Coast States and the eastern one-half of the U.S. will contrast with drier-than-normal conditions across the Rockies and High Plains.
