Wednesday December 29
We remain in this pattern with rain at night, but dry breaks during the day. This morning we watch the latest round departing, but the roads are wet. The next push will start as showers this evening and rain tonight.
Our more pronounce rain will be Saturday- New Year’s Day.
Across the US we see as dramatic a contrast of temps, which will fuel a severe storm outbreak in the South today!
Morning Surface Weather
The boundary separating winter Vs. summer air is draped across the Mid Atlantic. That is the reason for our showers, and will establish the next rainy push later today.
The risk for severe storm will be just south of our region, along the very edge of the warm air. The energy is being fueled by the contrast of Bitter Cold to the North and a taste of summer to the south.

Locally we are mild in the 40s…
Northern Plains: Below Zero! These are actually readings (not wind chill) in the -20s across North Dakota!
Southern US/ Gulf Coast: Mornings temps into the 70s, feeling like summer!

Tornado Threat along with large hail and damaging winds are most likely across eastern Arkansas, northern Mississippi and Alabama, into central Tennessee.
There may be thunderstorms as far north as central Virginia where afternoon temps will reach the 70s.
