South
Regional Video
A cold front sliding toward the south will trigger scattered showers and thunderstorms over the southern Appalachians, Tennessee, the northern reaches of the Deep South, Arkansas, Oklahoma and northern Texas. Storms across northern Texas and extreme southern Oklahoma are expected to turn severe later today and this evening. During the day, locally heavy rain may douse parts of Oklahoma and Arkansas. Heavy downpours are likely in northern Texas overnight. High temperatures are predicted to range from the 60s in the Texas Panhandle and northern Oklahoma to the 90s in West and south Texas, southern Georgia and the interior of the Florida Peninsula.
Northeast
Regional Video
Precipitation will plod into western portions of the Northeast Thursday at the same time a wet weather system that has plagued New England over the past couple of days pulls away into the Atlantic. This new invader, riding a cold front from the west, will spread showers and a few thundershowers over much of New York state and Pennsylvania, West Virginia and far western Virginia. Temperatures, in advance of the approaching front, will rise to above-average levels with highs ranging from the 60s in much of eastern New England to the 80s from southeastern Pennsylvania southward through Virginia.
Midwest
Regional Video
A southward- and eastward-moving cold front will spread scattered showers and thunderstorms from southeastern Michigan, Ohio and Indiana through the Ohio Valley into extreme southern Missouri and Kansas today. Farther north, isolated showers may dampen parts of northeast North Dakota and northern Minnesota. Elsewhere, sunny to partly sunny skies will prevail, and even the Ohio Valley should see some partial clearing by evening as the precipitation scurries away. High temperatures are forecast to range from the 40s in northern North Dakota and northern Minnesota to the 70s in most of the lower Midwest.
West
Regional Video
An upper-air low pressure system hovering over the Great Basin tomorrow will spin scattered showers and thunderstorms over the Interior West from the Sierras through the Great Basin to Wyoming, Colorado and northeast New Mexico. Temperatures may be low enough in the higher elevations of Wyoming and Colorado that the showers will be in the form of snow. As a counterpoint to this wintry redux, an upper-air high will deliver sunny, warm conditions to the Pacific Northwest where high temperatures in the lower elevations will push into the 60s and 70s. Overall, highs are expected to range from the 30s and 40s in Wyoming to the 90s in the normally hotter deserts of the Southwest. Parts of the Sacramento Valley may top 80.
