A chilly front that can push into the US from Canada is predicted to bring widespread rain from the Plains to the Northeast this week, and the FOX Forecast Center says some areas could even see some severe weather.
While there have been showers and storms across the identical region last week because of a cold front, this latest one might be more expansive.
The cold front will move into the northern Plains starting on Tuesday, and that can trigger some rain together with some cooler temperatures.
“There’s going to be moisture from the Gulf of Mexico that’s going to be swirling up,” FOX Weather meteorologist Steve Bender said. “You’re going to have that Gulf moisture moving into the Plains. When you’ve that collision course, cold air goes to dive underneath that, lift the entire Gulf moisture up into the atmosphere, and then you definitely’re the potential for widespread rain.”
As this happens, there’s the specter of severe weather across areas stretching from Kansas and the central Plains northeast into Illinois and Wisconsin.
Cities under the specter of seeing some severe thunderstorms on Tuesday include Hays and Wichita in Kansas, Lincoln, Nebraska, Des Moines, Iowa, Rochester, Minnesota, Madison, Wisconsin, and Peoria, Illinois.
“We get an additional boost of moisture, and that’s going to be coming in off the Atlantic (Ocean), so it’s not only the Gulf (of Mexico),” Bender said. “Now you’re going to introduce a few of that tropical moisture as well for the East Coast.”
When the cold front collides with the moisture coming in from the Gulf of Mexico, some heavy rain is predicted for the Northeast and into the mid-Atlantic.
“So, as this cold front continues to dive along and move to the east, it’s going to collide with that,” Bender said. “And that’s where we’re the latter half of next workweek, the potential not just for the cooler air to reassert itself, but additionally those storms establishing along the I-95 corridor from Richmond, Virginia to Portland, Maine.
The very best rain totals might be centered across the inside Northeast, and Recent England because the cold front moves through.
Areas of Principal, Recent Hampshire, Vermont and northern Recent York could pick up 2-3 inches of rain this week, with some locally higher amounts in northern Recent England.
Elsewhere, 1-2 inches of rain could fall in southern Recent England, Recent York’s Hudson Valley and into Pennsylvania.
