Tuesday Afternoon Weather Forecast

Let's talk about the weather. Now, things are dry across the country except for the southeast around Florida, which will be getting some heavy rain plus some colder temperatures are on the way for the east coast later in the week. Here's your full forecast. Hello everybody. I'm storm watch team, meteorologist Mike Rizzo with your chat or weather update across the nation. We are watching the southeast carefully. That is one area of concern here is heavy rain is going to be impacting there over the next couple of days and especially today as well. So let's start in the northeast where there is a cooler outbreak of air. Some gusty conditions across the northeast all the way through New England down toward the Appalachians in West Virginia expecting to see clouds, sun, windy weather, keeping things cool up the northeast. Now, the southeast there is this disturbance developing over the Gulf of Mexico that needs to be tracked carefully. It's expected to bring some heavy rain over Florida into the Atlantic Ocean before becoming a coastal storm by the weekend that will ride up the east coast. So definitely prospects here. This is good useful rain because it breaks some of the drought but certainly watching for the, the downpours and the flooding for the Tampa area, Orlando all the way out toward Miami too. So we're gonna keep an eye out for that. The northern Great Plains is dry but very cold and you could see that it's just going to be sunny and dry here. And now there's that rain over northern California that needs to be watched carefully as well as uh now you're moving into the rainy season for the west coast. So the the air pattern is as follows right now, we're generally split with cooler air on the northern tier. Uh But we do see some warmer air off to our south. Now, eventually a trough comes through to knock out some of the warmer air that's gonna be out toward the northeast for the later this week. It's gonna replace it with some cooler air for early next week. And uh this active jet pattern is gonna allow some showers and storms to impact California over the course of the weekend too. So let's watch that coastal storm here or at least the Gulf storm at least to start as that system moves across Florida into Georgia and South Carolina forming somewhere over the uh Bahamas there. Uh So definitely a situation that is going to be a prospect for the East Coast because by Friday, it's gonna merge with the fronts that's gonna provide a lot of rain out toward New England as well. And don't forget the west coast you're gonna be dealing with that stormy weather over the course of the weekend too.
