Friday Morning Report

This has been one potent storm crossing the country with destruction from California to the Southeast. We had a few rounds of heavy rain with lightning and thunder in Maryland as well. Some of that rain lingers this morning, but it will be moving away.  We will take a look at the live radar, simulation, and wind forecast after recapping the tornado outbreak in Alabama!

Headlines

  • Morning: Rain ending
  • Afternoon: Windy and Colder, Mountain Snow
  • Weekend: Seasonably Chilly
  • Next Week: Final Warm Push With Rain

 

Morning Surface Weather 

The storm covers the entire Eastern US, from snow in Maine to thunderstorms in Florida. We still have rain moving through, and a look at the radar below.  Snow showers will develop in the mountains with the colder winds.
