Severe Weather Pattern Quiets Across Most of the US Just in Time for the Weekend With Activity Limited to the Southern Border
UNITED STATES — After a very active stretch of severe weather across the country, the pattern has quieted down significantly heading into the weekend. Radar shows the vast majority of the United States sitting dry and calm, with the only notable storm activity confined to a narrow band along the southern border of the United States and isolated activity along parts of the East Coast.
What Radar Shows Across the Country
Current radar imagery shows clear and quiet conditions blanketing most of the nation from the Pacific Coast through the Rockies, Plains, Midwest, and into the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic. The broad storm footprint that covered much of the South and East over the past several days has moved off, leaving behind a largely storm-free map for the weekend.
The only areas showing active precipitation include:
- A general thunderstorm zone along the southern border stretching from central Texas through San Antonio, Houston, Austin, Corpus Christi, and into the New Orleans corridor
- Isolated storm activity along the Carolinas coast and into Wilmington and Brunswick
- Light precipitation activity across parts of eastern Canada and the Northeast
Good News Heading Into the Weekend
The timing of this quiet pattern could not be better for most of the country. The active and at times dangerous severe weather stretch that brought storms, tornadoes, large hail, and damaging winds across the Deep South, Gulf states, and East Coast is winding down, with the weekend shaping up much calmer for the majority of Americans.
Those along the southern Texas and Gulf Coast corridor should still monitor for general thunderstorm activity, but widespread organized severe weather is not expected across most of the country through the weekend.
