Wednesday Afternoon Weather Forecast

Let's turn to the weather. Things are quiet across much of the country though. The southeast around Florida is going to get rain with the possibility of some flooding as well. Here's a look at your full forecast. Hello, everybody. I'm storm watch team. Meteorologist Mike Rizzo, with your cheddar weather update across the nation. Things have been generally and relatively quiet. We don't see extreme temperatures here or there, but one thing to note is the rain and the stormy weather developing over the southeast. Now, of course, this was a drought buster for many parts of the Gulf coast. But now that it's moving into Florida, we're expecting to see an issue. We'll talk a little bit more about that in just a moment. Let's take our tour first satellite picture over the northeast is rather quiet. High pressure is in control and that's gonna filter in some weather for the weekend here across the northeast. That's really good, including the upper Midwest as well. Now, this system down here is going to produce a lot of rain and even flooding, especially to South Florida. This is a big problem here that we're going to see. Maybe uh a flooding, uh certainly going to be hazardous over the course of today. And then as that storm lifts out toward the Atlantic Ocean, it becomes a coastal system that rides up the east coast for the weekend. The upper Great Plains has been rather quiet, of course, dry and chilly as as expected and of course, the rainy season now developing for northern California, we're seeing that atmospheric river continue to send showers and storms from San Francisco all the way up to Seattle. Of course, dreary weather expected as per the usual in that zone. So down to Florida, we go, we do have that flash flood risk. It's a moderate risk for the Miami area that includes all the way down toward the Keys and uh it extends all the way out toward Cape Canaveral as well. So definitely watching for a lot of flooding across the southern areas of Florida as head through today and tomorrow as that system moves out of the Gulf crosses over the peninsula and then into the Atlantic Ocean. Now you'll see that storm here maybe develop into something subtropical before it moves up the east coast. And that's where it meets a cold front that's going to be impacting the northeast and the Midwest from Friday into Saturday and then even into Sunday out for New England. So certainly something that needs to be monitored very carefully. And of course, the west coast continues to see those showers and storms over the weekend.
