Weather Underground Forecast for Thursday,March 26,2015
Showers and thunderstorms will move across the Eastern states on Thursday as a strong low pressure system and associated cold front advance eastward over the Mississippi River Valley. The system will continue pulling abundant moisture and energy northward from the Gulf of Mexico, allowing for moderate to heavy rainfall to develop from the Northeast through the Gulf Coast. This system has a history of producing severe thunderstorms with large hail and damaging winds. However, on Thursday, this system will lose some energy and thus the Eastern states are under a low risk of severe thunderstorm development. The main threats of strong and damaging winds accompanying these thunderstorms are most likely to develop from eastern North Carolina northward into southern Maryland in the late morning and
early afternoon hours. Rainfall totals will vary from 0.5 to 1.0 inches in most areas, with isolated areas seeing over 1 inch in areas of strong thunderstorm development.
Behind this system, cold air will filter in from Canada, bringing cooler temperatures to the center of the nation on Thursday. Expect highs to range from 10 to 20 degrees below seasonable for the Plains and the Eastern Valleys on Thursday.
Out West, another trough of low pressure dips into the Pacific Northwest, pushing more moisture onshore from the Pacific Ocean. This will maintain widespread scattered rain showers across parts of Washington and far northern Oregon. Significant precipitation is not anticipated.
