Overview
- The Storm Prediction Center highlights a slight risk for severe thunderstorms Sunday evening into overnight from parts of the Ohio Valley into the Mid-Atlantic, with damaging winds, hail and an isolated tornado possible as a cold front sweeps through.
- Forecasts call for a marked temperature drop on Monday behind the front, with the Northeast likely seeing rain change to wet snow and a hard freeze Monday night, and eastern Massachusetts at risk for brief snow squalls Monday evening.
- After a warm, sunny weekend in the UK, the Met Office says a cooler northwesterly flow early next week will bring unsettled conditions with wintry showers and hill snow over higher ground in areas including the Scottish Highlands, the Lake District, the Pennines, North Wales and Northern Ireland.
- An early-season heat dome continues to drive record March heat across the West, with Phoenix hitting 105°F and more than 400 people treated for heat-related illnesses at the Luke Days Airshow, including at least 25 hospitalizations, according to Brig. Gen. David Berkland.
- Regional snapshots underscore the split pattern, with the D.C. area nearing the 80s before evening storms and a cooler Monday, Milwaukee turning sharply colder and windy Sunday, and Florida staying warm and mostly dry under high pressure.
