Showers and thunderstorms are expected to linger across the South over the next couple of days as a trailing front stalls in the region. Isolated severe storms could bring large hail, strong wind gusts, and heavy rain, particularly in the southern Plains. This weather system will gradually spread eastward, with widespread thunderstorms and heavy rain moving into the east-central and northeastern U.S. later this week. At the same time, an upper-level trough moving across the West will bring moderate precipitation to the Northwest, including snow at higher elevations in the north-central Rockies. This unsettled weather will continue to increase rain and thunderstorm chances across the central U.S. into the weekend.

January is closing out with no shortage of winter weather. Frigid temperatures will dominate the eastern U.S. for the rest of the week as another round of arctic air spills southward starting Friday. The cold could break more records as far south as Florida. Meanwhile, forecasters are closely tracking a potentially significant East Coast winter storm this weekend that could bring heavy snow, strong winds, and coastal flooding from the Carolinas to New England. Out West, a soggy pattern continues in the Pacific Northwest, with rounds of rain and mountain snow.
