Storm Systems Bring Winter Weather Across U.S.

A series of weather systems are affecting multiple regions in the United States with rain, wind, and colder temperatures. In the Northeast, a much-needed soaking rain will begin late Wednesday, with a mixture of rain and wet snow in higher elevations, and persist through Friday with gusty winds. In the Southeast, remnants of Tropical Storm Sara will combine with a cold front to bring showers to central Florida, followed by a significant drop in temperatures with highs in the 60s and lows in the 40s by the weekend. The Midwest, including Chicago, is experiencing rain and thunderstorms with temperatures dropping significantly, bringing the first wet snowflakes and wind chills in the 10s later in the week. This widespread storm pattern marks a shift towards more winter-like conditions across the central and eastern U.S., with potential for further cold fronts and precipitation as the week progresses.
