Overview
- Rain linked to a stalled front spreads across the Northeast and New England Wednesday, with afternoon and evening rounds bringing about a quarter to a half inch for many and up to an inch in northern areas.
- Following Wednesday’s cooler turn behind the front, local forecasts from Pennsylvania to Ohio show clouds lingering and highs stuck in the 50s and 60s, with patchy frost possible in inland spots by early Thursday and Friday.
- A cold front crossing the Southeast on Thursday is expected to drive a line of showers and thunderstorms, with most locations facing a low-end severe risk focused on strong wind gusts and brief heavy downpours.
- Along the central Gulf Coast, forecasters have posted Impact Days from Thursday through Saturday as rounds of storms could deliver 1 to 3 or more inches of rain and a chance for a few severe cells, especially on the Northshore.
- Central Florida heats into the low to mid-90s with record challenges most likely on Thursday before a weak front stalls and helps kick off a more summer-like pattern of scattered afternoon storms by Friday and the weekend.
