During the next 5 days, an active weather pattern will feature a series of storm systems dropping southward along the Pacific Coast before turning and accelerating northeastward across the continental U.S. As a result, precipitation will fall in all areas of the country, except the northern Plains, southern Florida, and parts of the south-central U.S.
Some of the heaviest precipitation will occur in California and the Southeast. In addition, the storm system currently crossing the nation’s midsection will produce heavy snow in parts of the Midwest and significant rain as far north as the Ohio Valley.
