The risk is high today for a severe weather outbreak across the Tennessee Valley, Mississippi Valley, Ohio Valley, and Mid-South and this threat includes the possibility of multiple strong (EF-3+) tornadoes. Numerous ingredients are coming together to result in a widespread severe weather outbreak later today and tonight including strong jet streaks at multiple levels of the atmosphere, a clash of air masses with cold, dry air to the north and west and warm, humid air to the east and south, and a strong surface low pressure system with its attendant cold front. In addition to the severe weather, it appears that a multi-day extreme rainfall event is on the way for much of this same part of the nation from later today through the first half of the weekend with widespread flooding a serious concern.

A very unsettled weather pattern is coming to the Middle Mississippi Valley and Tennessee Valley regions that will include a severe weather threat from later today into tonight and an excessive rainfall threat through the upcoming weekend. Much of the activity both in terms of severe weather and heavy rainfall we’ll likely stay just to our west and north into Friday, but we’ll have to keep a close eye on it...as it stands, some decent rainfall is still likely around here and there certainly can be some strong-to-severe thunderstorm activity as well.

An on-going active weather pattern will result in strong-to-severe thunderstorms later today and tonight across the middle of the country and there can be isolated tornadoes as well. On Wednesday and Wednesday night, the severe weather threat will become enhanced across the Middle Mississippi Valley/Tennessee Valley and Ohio Valley and, this time, multiple strong tornadoes will be on the table. In this same part of the nation, it appears that a multi-day extreme rainfall event is on the way from later tomorrow through the upcoming weekend with widespread serious flooding a real concern.

Today will be quite comfortable across the region with afternoon highs not far from the 70-degree mark to go along with plenty of sunshine. It turns warmer on Tuesday with temperatures climbing to the 80’s and the late week can feature unusually warm conditions with highs potentially climbing all the way to the middle 80’s. It will also become quite unsettled for the late week and weekend with a daily shot at some shower and thunderstorm activity.

Strong-to-severe thunderstorms are a threat later today and tonight across much of the eastern US including in the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor as a strong cold front pushes eastward towards the Atlantic seaboard. This same frontal system resulted in numerous damaging wind gusts on Sunday across the Midwest/Mississippi Valley with a few tornadoes reported there as well and that same part of the nation will likely have a repeat performance of severe weather on Wednesday. In fact, numerous severe weather outbreaks are on the table for the month of April largely as the result of a recent stratospheric warming event which, in turn, enhances the likelihood for additional cold air outbreaks into the central and eastern states setting up “battle zone” regions. Finally, we’ll revisit the passage of a “back door” cold front this weekend that impacted the northeastern states and, in some locations, there were record-breaking temperature swings.

Today will be a rather pleasant day across the region with plenty of sunshine and comfortable temperatures that should peak this afternoon in the lower-to-middle 70’s. It turns a bit cooler at mid-week with the passage of a cool front, but then high pressure should result in decent weather again for the latter part of the week. Unsettled weather heads this way for the upcoming weekend with southwesterly winds likely to pump in a moist air mass which when combined with a shortwave ejecting eastward from the Rockies can result in shower activity around here on both Saturday and Sunday.
