Unsettled Rain Pattern Expected Across Midwest Holiday Weekend

A weather pattern bringing spotty storms and showers is expected to develop across various regions starting Friday and lasting through the weekend, with some areas facing flooding concerns due to widespread rainfall. In Jacksonville and surrounding areas, total rainfall could range from 1 to 4 inches, primarily during afternoon storms. Southern New England may experience scattered showers and storms with localized downpours and small hail on Friday, followed by a dry and cooler weekend. The Midwest, including Omaha and Western Iowa, will see hit-and-miss showers starting Saturday, continuing into Sunday and possibly Monday, with temperatures mostly in the 70s and 80s. Despite the wet conditions in many areas, some regions, such as parts of northern New England and the Midwest, will have dry intervals and a nicer, drier stretch expected for the Labor Day weekend. Overall, residents are advised to prepare for variable weather conditions, including potential flooding and the need for indoor plans during outdoor activities.
