US weather forecast: Heavy rains, thunderstorms, tornadoes likely. Check areas, key details

Heavy rains, thunderstorms, tornadoes are expected to hit parts of the US. A low pressure is anticipated to emerge from the western US later this week, according to the FOX report. This will lead to the formation of a surface low over the central Plains on Friday, and the trajectory of this low will determine whether the precipitation manifests as rain or snow.

From Friday afternoon into Saturday, showers and thunderstorms are expected to expand in coverage from the central Gulf Coast to the Ohio Valley. The storm system is forecasted to progress to the East Coast by Sunday into Monday, bringing widespread rain from the mid-Atlantic to New England.

Due to the rapid strengthening of the system during this period, windy conditions are predicted to sweep across the eastern part of the nation. Some forecast models suggest the possibility of damaging winds ranging from 50-70 mph along the East Coast, particularly impacting the mid-Atlantic to New England from late Saturday through Sunday.


The NOAA's Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has designated the region as Level 1 out of 5 on its thunderstorm risk scale. This includes cities like Tulsa and Broken Arrow in Oklahoma, Springfield in Missouri, and Fort Smith and Fayetteville in Arkansas.

The potential for tornadoes, damaging winds, and large hail extends from East Texas to Louisiana, Arkansas, western Mississippi, and West Tennessee, placing this region at Level 2 out of 5 on the SPC's thunderstorm risk scale. Cities like Houston in Texas, Shreveport and Alexandria in Louisiana, Little Rock in Arkansas, Jackson in Mississippi, and Memphis in Tennessee fall within this risk area.
