Outlooks
updated 7-9 AM ET Weekdays / 8-10 AM Weekends &
Holidays
7-Day Outlook: Fri. May 1– Thu. May 7
Tonight, conditions will trend quieter as the system departs, though mostly cloudy skies will linger. Temperatures will fall into the low 30s, with winds becoming light and variable, eventually turning calm.
On Saturday, an upper-level low lingering over Québec will influence the region. A disturbance rotating around this system will bring increasing cloud cover and a chance of showers developing during the afternoon. Temperatures will moderate into the mid-50s, with light winds becoming west during the day. The chance for showers will continue into Saturday night, mainly during the evening hours, under mostly cloudy skies. Overnight lows will settle into the upper 30s.
By Sunday, another round of unsettled weather is expected as showers become more likely, especially during the afternoon. Skies will remain mostly cloudy, with daytime highs in the upper 40s to around 50. Winds will shift from light and variable to northerly during the afternoon. Showers will likely continue into Sunday evening before gradually diminishing overnight. Temperatures Sunday night will drop into the low to mid-30s under mostly cloudy skies, with light northwest winds.
Unsettled weather will continue into early next week as a
persistent closed
upper-level low continues to send multiple disturbances
across New England. Conditions will begin to improve somewhat on
Monday as partial sunshine returns. Temperatures will rise into
the mid- to upper 50s under mostly sunny skies, though a modest
west wind may produce occasional gusts. Monday night will
feature partly cloudy skies with a slight chance of a passing
shower late, and temperatures settling into the low 40s.
The unsettled pattern resumes on Tuesday as another disturbance approaches, bringing a chance of showers, especially by late morning into the afternoon. Skies will be partly sunny with highs reaching the lower to mid-60s. Shower chances will continue Tuesday night under mostly cloudy skies, with temperatures dropping into the mid-40s.
By Wednesday, cloud cover will persist along with additional chances for showers as the upper-level system remains nearby. High temperatures will be in the upper 50s to around 60, with lows Wednesday night in the mid-40s. Shower activity is expected to become more likely Wednesday night into Thursday as another wave of moisture moves through the region.
On Thursday, widespread showers are likely under mostly cloudy skies, with daytime highs in the mid- to upper 50s. Periods of rain will likely continue into Thursday night, with temperatures falling into the low 40s, maintaining the overall unsettled and damp pattern.

Today's US National Weather Outlook
🇺🇸
Heavy rain will continue across Texas and the Lower Mississippi Valley today, with repeated rounds of showers and thunderstorms bringing a risk of flash flooding. Conditions will gradually improve late tonight as the system shifts eastward. Over the weekend, a developing coastal low will spread rain and thunderstorms into the Southeast, especially across northern Florida, where a few storms could become strong. Rain may extend into parts of the Northeast as well. Much colder than normal temperatures will cover much of the eastern and southern United States, with daytime readings in the 50s common in the South. Warmer conditions will build across the West, with well above average temperatures expected.
Isolated
Severe Storms Possible Across Texas and
the Central Gulf Coast
Scattered thunderstorms will develop across parts of south-central and southeast Texas today, with a few storms capable of producing strong wind gusts and hail. The greatest risk will occur from late morning into the afternoon, especially near the middle Texas coast, before gradually diminishing later in the day. This evening into tonight, storm activity will shift eastward into the central Gulf Coast, including portions of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. A few storms in these areas could become strong, with gusty winds and small hail the primary concerns. While the overall risk remains limited, residents should remain alert for changing weather conditions and locally stronger storms.

Heavy
Rain and Flash Flood Risk Across Texas and
the Central Gulf Coast
Periods of heavy rain will continue from central and southeast Texas eastward along the central Gulf Coast through tonight into early Saturday, bringing an increased risk of flash flooding. The heaviest rainfall is expected from eastern Texas into Louisiana and southern Mississippi, where repeated rounds of downpours may occur. Rainfall rates could become intense at times, leading to rapid water accumulation, especially in areas that have already received significant recent rainfall. While the risk will gradually decrease farther east, localized flooding remains possible. Residents in vulnerable areas should remain alert for quickly changing conditions and be prepared for potential flooding impacts.

Wet
Pattern Expands East While Fire Risk
Increases in Florida
A broad weather system will strengthen across the eastern United States today, bringing widespread clouds and precipitation along and north of a slow-moving front stretching across the Gulf Coast. This wet pattern will help limit fire concerns in most areas. Meanwhile, a separate system will begin developing over the Pacific Northwest. Across Florida, however, drier air and increasing sunshine will combine with breezy conditions to elevate fire weather concerns, especially across the central and eastern peninsula. Winds will be modest but steady, and temperatures will climb into the upper 80s to near 90. Low humidity and dry vegetation will increase the risk for fires to start and spread.

The vast majority of weather apps are automated without human oversight and can miss critical, nuanced details during severe or changing weather. Do not rely on an app for the forecast. Instead, go to weather.gov for the forecast.
Radar apps visualize precipitation intensity using color-coded echoes. However, updates are not instant, and even the most advanced composite radar mosaics can be delayed by 5 to 20 minutes by the time they reach your app.That delay means the weather you are viewing might already be miles away — or more intense than the image suggests.
