A cold front that brought strong thunderstorms to the Plains and Mississippi Valley on Thursday was pushing eastward on Friday, bringing wet weather to the South and Southeast.
Storms will develop in the late morning and early afternoon across the Deep South and are expected to move eastward throughout the day.
Some severe weather was likely in the southern Mississippi Valley and into the southern Appalachians. Damaging winds and large hail were anticipated. Isolated tornadoes also were a possibility.
The low pressure system spawning the southern storms will bring wet weather to the Northeast. The
Mid-Atlantic and New England states could see some drenching rainfall, and portions of Maine were to get snowfall.
In the Northwest, an area of low pressure will move inland from the Pacific Ocean, bringing rain and high elevation snow. Precipitation will move into the northern Great Basin and northern Rockies late in the day, and substantial snowfall was anticipated.
The Southwest will continue to see clear skies as high pressure remains in place.
Temperatures in the Lower 48 states on Thursday ranged from a low of minus 14 degrees at Yellowstone, Wyo., to a high of 95 degrees at Big Spring, Texas.
