Heavy Rainfall and Flooding Concerns in the Southwest; Coastal Low to Impact the East Coast

Deep tropical moisture will lead to widespread showers and thunderstorms capable of producing flash flooding through early next week over the Southwest and Four Corners. A coastal storm is expected to develop off the southeast U.S. coast tonight and is expected to strengthen and bring flooding, dangerous rip currents, gusty winds and heavy rain up much of the East Coast through early next week.

Periods of showers will affect the region as soon as tonight into Saturday morning, and will persist into Sunday afternoon and evening. While the whole weekend will not be a washout by any means, periods of showers and wetness are expected, especially Saturday night over northeast South Dakota into west central Minnesota.
In addition to the showers expected, windy conditions will also be felt this weekend. Southerly winds gusting from 30 to 45 mph will occur Saturday through Sunday. A cold front will then move through the region later in the day Sunday, switching winds around to the west and northwest. Colder temperatures are in store for the beginning of next week, with highs in the 50s Monday and Tuesday. Frost/freeze conditions are possible as well.
