Tracking Two Storms Impacting the Central and Eastern U.S. Through This Weekend

Two storm systems will track through the central and eastern U.S. through this weekend with areas of gusty winds, rain, and heavy snow. Severe thunderstorms are forecast Friday from the central Gulf Coast into parts of the lower Mississippi, Tennessee and Ohio Valleys. Heavy to excessive rainfall is forecast from the lower Mississippi River Valley to the Tennessee Valley which may bring flooding. Read More >

High pressure will remain southeast of the Four Corners the rest of the weekend and continue drawing subtropical monsoon moisture into southern Colorado and Utah.  Expect an increase in showers and thunderstorms Sunday with gusty outflow winds, small hail and brief heavy rain possible with storms.  The best potential for heavy rain should occur across southeast Utah and southwest Colorado where the better moisture resides and scattered thunderstorms are forecast.  Drier air moves back in Sunday evening and will remain through next week.  Southwest winds aloft will help keep wildfire smoke out of much of the region, with the exception of extreme northeast Utah and northwest Colorado, where a more westerly component will keep the southern edge of the smoke in this region.
