Heavy rain and thunderstorms in the Mid-Atlantic and New England areas are expected to lighten up during the morning hours and end during the afternoon. Meanwhile, showers and thunderstorms in the Southeast will conclude throughout the day.
As this front exits, high pressure in the nation's midsection will fill in across the East with drier and cooler weather conditions. Temperatures in the Eastern Seaboard are expected to drop by up to 10-15 degrees on Thursday and Friday. This cool high pressure system will also maintain chances of lake-effect rain and snow showers in areas downwind of the Great Lakes during the afternoon and evening hours.
In the West, snow and low-elevation rain showers will persist in parts of the
northern Intermountain West and the northern Rockies, while onshore flow and cold front maintains light precipitation in the Pacific Northwest. Some of this precipitation will spread into northern California throughout the day.
Temperatures in the Lower 48 states Wednesday ranged from a morning low of
minus 18 degrees at West Yellowstone, Mont., to a high of 92 degrees at Edinburg, Texas.
