Transitioning Weather Pattern to Bring Western Heat, Eastern Rain, and Rocky Mountain Snow

Transitioning Weather Pattern to Bring Western Heat, Eastern Rain, and Rocky Mountain Snow Risk: Severe weather threat today across the central and southern Plains. Expect very large hail, damaging winds, and a few tornadoes. Heavy rain in Texas could lead to flash flooding, while storms in the Southeast may bring isolated wind damage.

A shifting upper-level pattern will drive major weather changes across the U.S. and Canada this weekend and into next week. Expect record heat in the West, heavy rain in the East, and a growing chance for mountain snow across the Rocky Mountains from the northern U.S. through Alberta.
