The Weather Man Podcast, I talk about weather!

There is a Slight Risk of excessive rainfall over parts of the Southern
Plains/Lower Mississippi Valley on Saturday.
Light to moderate snow over parts of the Central Rockies and Central
High Plains overnight Friday into Saturday and a second area of light snow
over the Cascades and Northern Intermountain Region on Sunday.
Strong to severe thunderstorms from the southern Mid-Atlantic,
Southeast to the Southern Plains on Friday and Saturday.
A front extending from Upstate New York southward to the Mid-Atlantic and
then westward to the Western Gulf Coast will move off the Northeast and
Mid-Atlantic Coast by Saturday afternoon. The boundary lingers along the
Gulf of Mexico Coast through Sunday evening. As the front moves into the
southern Mid-Atlantic/Southeast, showers with strong to severe
thunderstorms will develop over the area. Therefore, the SPC has issued a
Marginal Risk (level 1/5) of severe thunderstorms over parts of the
Mid-Atlantic/Southeast through Saturday morning. The hazards associated
with these thunderstorms are frequent lightning, severe thunderstorm wind
gusts, hail, and a minimal threat of tornadoes. The area of showers and
thunderstorms will extend into parts of the Lower Mississippi Valley and
the Southern Plains through Friday night. Moreover, rain will develop over
parts of the Northeast Friday night into Saturday as light snow showers
develop over parts of the Upper Great Lakes, ending by Saturday afternoon.
Overnight Friday into Saturday, upper-level energy and upslope flow
associated with strong high pressure over the Northern High Plains will
help produce light to moderate snow over parts of the Central Rockies and
Central High Plains.
On Saturday, as the front settles over the Gulf Coast, showers with strong
to severe thunderstorms will develop over parts of the Southern Plains and
Southeast. Therefore, the SPC has issued a Marginal Risk (level 1/5) of
severe thunderstorms over two areas, the Southern Plains/Western Gulf
Coast and the second area over the Southeast from Saturday into Sunday
morning. The hazards associated with these thunderstorms are frequent
lightning, severe thunderstorm wind gusts, hail, and a minimal threat of
tornadoes. The showers and thunderstorms will also produce heavy rain over
parts of the Southern Plains/Lower Mississippi Valley. Therefore, the WPC
has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/4) of excessive rainfall with these
thunderstorms. The associated heavy rain will create mainly localized
areas of flash flooding, with urban areas, roads, and small streams the
most vulnerable. On Sunday, the strong to severe thunderstorm threat has
come to an end.
However, showers and thunderstorms will continue over parts of the
Southeast to the Southern Plains. Meanwhile, a front will come onshore
over the Pacific Northwest Saturday afternoon and move eastward to the
Northern High Plains and Great Basin by Sunday evening. The system will
produce rain over parts of the Pacific Northwest Coast through Sunday
evening. Furthermore, overnight Saturday, light snow will develop over the
Cascades and parts of the Northern Intermountain Region by early Sunday
morning, continuing into Sunday evening.

Severe weather and isolated flash flooding mostly likely over the
Midwest into the Ohio Valley in early Friday with thunderstorms extending
southwest into Texas.
Wet snow and wintry mix over the central High Plains on Saturday as
heavy rain threat develops and expands over Texas.
Unseasonably warm across much of the South and Southwest as cold air
from Canada pours south into the Great Plains.
A relatively progressive weather pattern is forecast to establish across
the nation as we head into the weekend. This progressive pattern will
kick a relatively slow-moving low pressure system further out into the
Atlantic while allowing a cold air mass from Canada to pour southward into
the Great Plains. A low pressure wave currently developing along the
boundary of the cold air mass over the Midwest will bring an enhanced
threat of severe thunderstorms across the Midwest tonight, moving into the
Ohio Valley early on Friday. A slight chance of severe thunderstorms is
forecast to extend farther southwest into central Texas near the trailing
portion of the cold front. In addition to the severe weather threat, the
heavy rain associated with the thunderstorms may result in flash flooding
concerns at some places for aforementioned areas.
By Friday, the cold front is forecast to move steadily east toward the
East Coast. Showers and thunderstorms will likewise move farther east out
of the Ohio Valley and into the Appalachians, reaching into the interior
Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, and New England by Friday evening. The severe
weather threat is expected to be not as high on Friday for these areas.
Saturday will see these showers and storms steadily exiting the East Coast
as the cold front pushes off the coast into the Atlantic. However,
interior New England will see the showers linger due to the arrival of a
reinforcing cold front from Canada.
As a large dome of high pressure system associated with the Canadian cold
air mass settles into the Great Plains, the upslope dynamics will set up
the opportunity for wet snow to develop over the central High Plains on
Saturday, mixing with rain during the day. Meanwhile, as an upper trough
moves farther east into northern Mexico on Saturday, the associated
dynamics will support an expanding area of rain over the southern Plains
as the trough interacts with moist air returning from the Gulf of Mexico.
It appears that the threat of heavy rain threat will expand through
eastern Texas by the end of the forecast period on Saturday evening.
Much of the western U.S. will remain dry through the next couple of days
but the next Pacific system will likely break the drought later on
Saturday as rain reaches the Pacific Northwest. Forecast high
temperatures will remain rather warm across southern and southwestern
portions of the country through Saturday but the cold front will dispel
some of the warmth across the Mid-South, Midwest, Great Lakes, and
eventually the Northeast with the passage of the cold front. In contrast,
cold air will gradually push southward through the Great Plains reaching
into central Texas by Friday.

There is a Slight Risk of excessive rainfall over parts of the Southern
Plains/Lower Mississippi Valley...
Light snow over parts of the Cascades on Saturday night into Sunday.
Strong to severe thunderstorms from the southern Mid-Atlantic,
Southeast to the Southern Plains
A front extending from the Southeast westward to the Western Gulf Coast
will slowly move southward of the Florida Peninsula by Monday evening.
Showers with strong to severe thunderstorms will develop along the
boundary. Therefore, the SPC has issued a Marginal Risk (level 1/5) of
severe thunderstorms over parts of the Mid-Atlantic to the Central Gulf
Coast through Sunday morning. The hazards associated with these
thunderstorms are frequent lightning, severe thunderstorm wind gusts,
hail, and a minimal threat of tornadoes.
Additionally, a second area of showers with strong to severe thunderstorms
will develop over parts of the Southern Plains. Therefore, the SPC has
issued a Marginal Risk (level 1/5) of severe thunderstorms over parts of
the Southern Plains through Sunday morning. The hazards associated with
these thunderstorms are frequent lightning, severe thunderstorm wind
gusts, hail, and a few tornadoes.
The showers and thunderstorms will also produce heavy rain over parts of
the Southern Plains/Lower Mississippi Valley. Therefore, the WPC has
issued a Slight Risk (level 2/4) of excessive rainfall with these
thunderstorms through Sunday morning. The associated heavy rain will
create mainly localized areas of flash flooding, with urban areas, roads,
small streams, and low-lying areas the most vulnerable.
On Sunday, the strong to severe thunderstorm threat and the excessive
rainfall threat have come to an end. However, showers and thunderstorms
will continue over parts of the Southeast to the Central Gulf Coast.
Meanwhile, a front over the Pacific Northwest/Northern Intermountain
Region will move eastward to the Upper Mississippi Valley to the Central
Plains and then to the Great Basin by Monday evening. The system will
produce rain over parts of the Pacific Northwest Coast through Sunday
evening. Furthermore, overnight Saturday, light snow will develop over the
Cascades and parts of the Northern Intermountain Region by early Sunday
morning, ending overnight Sunday.
On Monday, as the boundary moves onto the Plains, a weak plum of moisture
flows from the Western Gulf of Mexico to the Upper Midwest, aiding in the
development of rain over parts of the Northern Plains and the Upper
Mississippi Valley. Elsewhere, a front moving across Florida will produce
showers with strong to severe thunderstorms.
