 The northern half of this cold front is expected to trek toward the Atlantic Ocean, while the southern half of the front drops across the Southeast. Moist and unstable conditions ahead of the northern edge of the cold front will kick up another batch of rain and thunderstorms in the Northeast and lighter precipitation and storms in the Mid-Atlantic. Precipitation in these regions is expected to wind down through the afternoon, while light showers and thunderstorms from the Carolinas through the central Gulf Coast continue through the rest of the day.
Meanwhile, in the West, a large and complex system will push across the Northwest and trek into the
upper Midwest on Thursday. The system will bring areas of light rain and clusters of thunderstorms from portions of the Intermountain West into
upper Mississippi Valley and the upper Great Lakes. Elsewhere in the West, expect warmer than normal temperatures to persist in the
desert Southwest.
Temperatures in the Lower 48 states Wednesday ranged from a morning low of 26 degrees at Silver Bay, Minn., to a high of 102 degrees at Phoenix-Mesa, Ariz.
