Rain Returns Across Colorado, Kansas City, Maryland This Weekend

A widespread change from dry, warm weather to a wetter pattern is expected across much of the U.S. this weekend: southern Colorado will see mostly dry conditions with spotty afternoon showers and highs in the 70s (e.g., Colorado Springs 50/76) but some areas may see scattered rain on Sunday. Rain returns late Saturday into Sunday for the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast (including Philadelphia), with Maryland flipping to a cooler, soggier pattern Saturday before steadier rain shifts south and drier conditions return Sunday. The Midwest (including Kansas City) will be warm and humid Saturday but increasingly unsettled as rain and storms develop Saturday afternoon and evening, tapering early Sunday. The Pacific Northwest should see an end to the dry pattern as Pacific tropical moisture brings rain to western Washington late Sunday into Monday. Forecasters warn that two tropical systems (including potential “Imelda”/PTC 9 and Hurricane Humberto) could enhance rainfall and localized flooding across the Southeast and Carolinas next week, prompting local preparations such as lowered reservoir levels in Raleigh.
