The midpoint of the workweek will have no shortage of active weather to go around, whether that is a severe storm outbreak in parts of the central and eastern U.S. or heavy, wet snow piling up along the northern Rocky Front Range.
A complex trio of weather makers will provide plenty of fruitful weather across the northern Rocky Front Range, much of Montana and Wyoming, as well as from the Mississippi, Tennessee, and Ohio valleys to the northern Mid-Atlantic north of the Mason-Dixon Line to New England. This means the Four Corners to the West Coast, parts of the Gulf Coast and Florida, and the coastal Carolinas will be the only U.S. spots that escape rainy, stormy, or snowy weather on Wednesday.
Another day of turbulent weather will develop and spread east and southward over the Ohio River, Middle and Lower Mississippi, and Tennessee valleys. This is where individual lines, or clusters of dangerous thunderstorms will patrol on Wednesday afternoon and evening, likely lasting well into predawn on Thursday. The Interstate 70 to 20 corridor will be most at-risk for very large, destructive hail, high winds and tornadoes, a few of which may be strong.
The northern flank of this very same complex storm system will deliver rain and thunderstorms from the Great Lakes to New England as well. Even here, a strong thunderstorm packing gusty winds and small hail could be problematic.
Meanwhile, a chilly valley and Plains rain in Montana and Wyoming, and a heavy, wet wind-whipped snow will blanket the northern Rocky Front Range for midweek. Gusts up to 60 mph with 1 to 2 feet of snow at pass level will make driving very difficult to impossible, with a few inches to nearly a foot falling at or above 4,500 feet.
There will be quite a temperature dichotomy across the nation for the week’s midpoint. The coldest, unseasonably cold in fact, highs will occur across much of the interior West and parts of the northwestern High Plains in South Dakota and Nebraska. Forties and 50s will be commonplace here, though the tallest peaks will have a difficult time climbing out of the teens, 20s and 30s. It will be marginally warmer along the West Coast where 60s and 70s will dominate, although a few spots could sneak into the lower 80s.
Seasonably cool 60s, 70s and 80s will reside from the central Plains to the Desert Southwest. Rain and thunderstorms will keep highs in check across most of New England with 50s and 60s forecast.
The Mississippi Valley and southern Plains to the Eastern Seaboard from New York to Florida will have a toasty midweek. Seventies, 80s, 90s and even a few triple-digits are expected. A few spots near the Texas-Mexico border could sweat it out in the middle to upper 100s on Wednesday.
