Wild weather is in store for the region today as a powerful cold front advances towards the east coast trailing a deep and intensifying low pressure system now over the Great Lakes. There will be occasional showers and thunderstorms and some of the rain will be heavy at times…watch out for localized flooding. There is the chance that some of the thunderstorms reach severe levels later today with hail a possibility and even isolated tornadoes. It’ll be very windy throughout the day with the potential for damaging wind gusts of 60+ mph and these winds can occur with or without the development of severe thunderstorms. Watch out for downed tree limbs and unfortunately, there is the chance for power outages. Much colder air moves in overnight and then a weaker low pressure system could produce some precipitation tomorrow night into Wednesday – perhaps even cold enough for some wet snow to be mixed in.

A major storm will impact a large part of the nation from today into Monday with a wide-ranging set of conditions from accumulating snows in its cold sector to heavy rain and severe weather in areas to the east and south of the storm track. Low pressure will consolidate over the central Plains today and then intensify significantly as it pushes northeastward through the Great Lakes region early Monday and then to the Hudson Bay, Canada region by Monday night. Accumulating snows are likely from this storm from the Rockies to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan where a foot or more can fall. The threat for severe weather will be widespread from today into tonight in the region extending from Texas/Louisiana to the Carolinas and as far north as the Ohio Valley as ingredients come together to destabilize the atmosphere. A significant rain and extreme wind event is coming to the Mid-Atlantic region on Monday with heavy rain, damaging wind gusts of 60+ mph, and perhaps severe thunderstorm activity with hail and isolated tornadoes. All of this will be followed by a cold blast of air for mid-April that will arrive in the eastern US on Tuesday and a weaker low pressure system could produce more precipitation from Tuesday night into Wednesday - and it could even be cold enough for wet snow in some areas.

A major storm will impact a large part of the nation from tomorrow into Monday with a wide-ranging set of conditions from accumulating snows in its cold sector to heavy rain and severe weather in areas to the east and south of the storm track. Low pressure will consolidate over the Mississippi Valley on Sunday morning and then intensify significantly as it pushes northeastward into the Great Lakes region by Monday morning. Accumulating snows are likely from this storm from the Rockies to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan where a foot or more can fall. The threat for severe weather will be widespread from Sunday into Sunday night in the region extending from Texas/Louisiana to the Carolinas as ingredients come together to destabilize the atmosphere. A significant rain and extreme wind event is coming to the Mid-Atlantic region from Sunday night into Monday and it can include damaging wind gusts of up to 60 mph and perhaps severe thunderstorm activity. All of this will be followed by a cold blast of air for mid-April that will arrive in the eastern US on Tuesday and another low pressure system could even produce some in parts of the Mid-Atlantic by Tuesday night and Wednesday.

Winds will stay quite strong today on the back side of yesterday’s strong cold frontal passage with gusts to 50 mph. It’ll be quite cold tonight and late night lows won’t be far from the freezing mark in many spots. After a quieter day on Saturday, a major storm will take shape over the middle of the nation on Sunday. This system will head towards the Great Lakes while a secondary low forms in the eastern US. The impact of this storm will be wide-ranging in the eastern half of the nation from Sunday into Monday including accumulating snow in the Upper Midwest to heavy rain in the Mid-Atlantic region to a possible widespread severe weather outbreak across the southern US. Another cold air outbreak arrives in the eastern US by next Tuesday and a rather sustained period of colder-than-normal weather can be expected through the remainder of April.

A very active weather pattern continues across the nation today and will so for at least the next week or so. A powerful cold front is closing in on the east coast and it will be accompanied by showers and perhaps a few severe thunderstorms. In addition, the winds will become a major factor later today as they’ll gust to 50 mph in the DC-to-Philly-to NYC corridor following the frontal passage. Winds will stay strong tonight and Friday as a much colder-than-normal air mass pours into the Mid-Atlantic region. After a quieter day on Saturday, a major storm will take shape over the middle of the nation. This system will head towards the Great Lakes while a secondary low forms in the eastern US. The impact of this late weekend storm will be wide-ranging from accumulating snow in parts of the Upper Midwest to heavy rain in the Mid-Atlantic on Sunday night and Monday to a potential widespread severe weather outbreak on Easter Sunday in the southern US extending from Texas/Louisiana to the Carolinas. Another cold air outbreak arrives in the eastern US next Tuesday and a rather sustained period of colder-than-normal weather can be expected through the remainder of April.

A very active weather pattern will continue across much of the nation during the next week or two in part due to a continuation of cold air outbreaks into the central and eastern US. These on-going cold air outbreaks from Canada will combine with increasingly warm and humid conditions across the southern US to make it quite unstable on many days going forward in many parts of the nation and it’ll increase chances for widespread severe weather outbreaks. A strong cold front will advance across the Great Lakes today and to the eastern seaboard with accompanying showers and perhaps a strong thunderstorm or two. Winds will increase markedly this afternoon with gusts possible to 50 mph and they'll stay very strong tonight and Friday. A major storm system is likely to form this weekend over the central US and it should take a northeast turn towards the Great Lakes region while a secondary system forms near the east coast. The result of this storm system could be heavy rainfall in the Mid-Atlantic region on Sunday night and Monday. In addition, this storm is likely to result in accumulating snow across parts of the Upper Midwest, and perhaps a widespread severe weather outbreak in the southern US extending from Texas/Louisiana to the Carolinas on Easter Sunday.

Currently, a strong storm is swirling over southern California with heavy rainfall and by mid-day Thursday, a strong cold front will advance across the Great Lakes and to the eastern seaboard. Winds will increase markedly in the Mid-Atlantic/NE US from later tomorrow into Friday with damaging gusts possible. A major storm system is then likely to form this weekend over the central US and it should take a northeast turn towards the Great Lakes region while a secondary system forms near the east coast. The result of this Sunday/Monday storm system could be some heavy rainfall in the eastern US, accumulating snow across the Upper Midwest, and perhaps a widespread severe weather outbreak in the southern US extending from Texas/Louisiana to the Carolinas.

A very active weather pattern is going to continue for the next week or two partly as a result of continuing cold air outbreaks into the central and eastern US. These cold air outbreaks will combine with increasingly warm and humid air across the southern US to make it quite unstable on many days going forward in many parts of the nation and severe weather outbreaks are likely. In the short-term, a nearby frontal boundary zone will continue to keep it somewhat unsettled around here today with scattered showers and thunderstorms. On Thursday, a strong cold front will cross the region and it will be accompanied by showers, perhaps even a strong thunderstorm. Winds will increase dramatically later tomorrow and they'll continue at strong levels tomorrow night and Friday - perhaps even with damaging wind gusts. Another storm system could impact the Mid-Atlantic region on Sunday night and Monday and there is the potential for some heavy rainfall in the Mid-Atlantic region.

A very active weather pattern is setting up for the next week or two partly as a result of continuing cold air outbreaks into the central and eastern US. These cold air outbreaks will combine with increasing warmth and moisture across the southern US to make it quite unstable on many days going forward in many parts of the nation. In the short-term, a warm front will generate showers and thunderstorms in the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor from later today into Wednesday and some of the storms that form can be on the strong-to-severe side. A strong cold front will then drop southeastward across the area later Thursday and it will be accompanied by showers, perhaps a strong thunderstorm, and increasing winds which will remain quite powerful on Thursday night and Friday. Another storm system could impact the Mid-Atlantic region late in the weekend or by the early part of next and then another system could follow a few days later in this unfolding very active weather pattern.
