The main weather feature in the country on Saturday will be a developing storm that will race out of the Rockies and through the Plains. This storm will intensify significantly as the day progresses, pulling a tremendous amount of moisture northward from the Gulf of Mexico. This moisture will translate to moderate to heavy precipitation from central Texas through the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes. All of this precipitation will fall as rain, but dangerous thunderstorms will also be of note. The Storm Prediction Center has issued a slight risk of severe weather from central Texas through southern Wisconsin due to the chance some of these thunderstorms becoming severe. Residents in this region should monitor local weather conditions and be prepared to protect life and property.

Even if severe weather does not develop, many areas from the Plains through the Great Lakes can expect areas of heavy rain that could total several inches by the time the main cold front passes.

Meanwhile, a Pacific storm will provide rain from the coasts of Washington and Oregon through western Montana.

In addition, cool air behind the storm in the Plains will provide some high elevation snow in the Colorado Rockies.

By the end of Saturday, a warm front will begin moving into the Northeast. There is the possibility that a few snow showers could fall over northern New England, while moderate rain is possible into the evening and overnight through New England.

The Northeast will be cool with temperatures in the 40s, 50s, and some 60s, while the Southeast will see temperatures in the 70s and 80s for the most part. The Northern Plains will rise into the 60s and 70s, while the Northwest will see similar temperatures.
