A storm system moving into the eastern U.S. will linger through the weekend along the middle and northern Atlantic Coast, generating widespread showers.
Meanwhile, a slow-moving disturbance currently crossing the Northwest will effectively stall over the central and southern Plains, producing as much as 2 to 5 inches of rain during the next 5 days. However, only light rain will fall across the northern Plains, upper Midwest, and Southeast, while dry weather will prevail west of the Rockies.
