Nasty weather will continue across portions of the East Coast through Monday, with Memorial Day plans in jeopardy due to widespread thunderstorms.
Meanwhile, Americans along the West Coast will continue to luck out, with mild temperatures slightly above average, sunny skies, and dry conditions throughout the holiday.
And while nearly 45 million people plan to travel, disruptions are anticipated across major hubs, including New York, Boston, Atlanta, and New Orleans.
On Sunday, portions of the North and Central Plains saw dry conditions return, bringing temperatures into the low-to-mid 80s.
But it was an active day with abundant flash flood warnings across the Ohio Valley, as storms reignited along an approaching cold front.
The storms have expanded in coverage and are moving east right back into the Northeast to round out a miserable and dreary Memorial Day weekend.
An area of low pressure is moving through Southern New England and will bring scattered showers, continuing the trend of possible delays in airport travel.
The Northeast will not be the only region experiencing unfavorable conditions leading into Memorial Day, with wet weather expected to persist across portions of Texas and Louisiana, bringing another Level 2 out of 4 flash flood risk.
The Interstate 10 corridor from Houston to New Orleans may also become difficult at times due to pop-up storms and downpours, according to the FOX Forecast Center.
Conditions will begin to steadily improve across the Northeast and Great Lakes region on Monday, following a weekend of wet and stormy weather.
“High pressure building in from the West is expected to push moisture farther south and east, bringing warmer temperatures and drier conditions back to millions from the Midwest into New England,” the FOX Forecast Center said.
Despite this hopeful push toward warm, dry conditions, the potential for showers and downpours will linger across the Carolinas, the Tennessee River Valley, and portions of the Gulf Coast.
There could be some travel delays in areas such as Memphis (MEM), Atlanta (ATL), New Orleans (MSY), and Houston (HOU).
The lucky streak for Americans on the West Coast will continue under dry, sunny conditions, with temperatures slightly above average.
The good news is that there is a decent chance these storms clear out for the second half of the day on Monday, allowing temperatures to finally recover into the upper 60s and 70s.
That will be a welcome return to warmth after being stuck in the chilly 50s for most of the weekend.
After Memorial Day, it really dries out as an area of high pressure takes over the Northeast.
Temperatures will gradually shift back to the 80s by Wednesday, but don’t get used to it.
A very strong dip in the jet stream will usher in yet another round of cooler air heading into the weekend, keeping summer on pause.
