Meteorologist Amy Freeze guides you through the current weather conditions affecting the U.S. in April 2025, from turbulent storms to sunny respites.
On the National Radar, a storm system is impacting regions from the central U.S. to the East Coast. Starting out west, Seattle remains clear, but as we move inland, snow is affecting the northern Rockies, with areas around Billings experiencing notable snowfall. In the Midwest, from Denver to Minneapolis, snow is causing slippery travel conditions, making the northern route through these areas one to watch for winter impacts. The heaviest snow is centered around Minneapolis, where accumulation is likely to impact daily activities. Further south, a significant line of rain is stretching from Oklahoma City through Kansas City, all the way to the East Coast. Oklahoma City sees some of the strongest thunderstorms, with potential severe weather as highlighted on the radar. Kansas City is also under the influence of these rainbands, which could lead to localized flooding. The Southeast from Atlanta to Washington D.C. is experiencing widespread rain showers. Cities along this corridor, like Atlanta, are more likely to witness persistent rain, potentially hampering outdoor plans. Coastal cities such as New York are currently under a thick blanket of rain, which could reduce visibility and slow down commutes. In contrast, Florida’s weather in Tampa is currently clear, providing a respite from the wetter conditions seen elsewhere in the eastern United States.
Let’s take a look at today’s high temperatures across the country. In the Northeast, New York is feeling a bit chilly at 63 degrees, while Washington D.C. warms up to a pleasant 75 degrees. Moving into the Southeast, we’re seeing some impressive numbers; Atlanta reaches a high of 86 degrees, with Tampa even hotter at 93 degrees—definitely the standout for the region! Heading to the Midwest, temperatures are a bit more subdued, with Chicago and Minneapolis both at 50 degrees. Kansas City is slightly warmer at 55 degrees. In the Central Plains, Oklahoma City hits 50 degrees, while farther west in Denver, we see a cooler 39. Out west, Los Angeles enjoys 63 degrees and Phoenix is warmer at 72 degrees. The outlier in the region is Ely where it’s a crisp 50 degrees today.
Now for the low temperatures across the U.S. tomorrow morning. A chilly start for the Midwest, with Minneapolis dipping to a brisk 28 degrees and Chicago hitting 32 degrees. Denver will feel the cold as well, with a morning low of 30 degrees. Heading south, Oklahoma City will see lows around 34 degrees, while Dallas registers at 41 degrees. On the West Coast, temperatures remain milder, with Los Angeles cooling to 52 degrees and San Francisco at 46 degrees. In the Northeast, New York starts off at 46 degrees, while Washington, D.C., sees a low of 63 degrees. In Ely, expect a notably cooler morning with temperatures dipping below freezing.
Tomorrow’s high temperatures across the region will feature a mix of seasonal warmth and unseasonably cool conditions. In the interior Northwest, Boise is set to reach a high of 68 degrees, while Salt Lake City will be slightly cooler at 55 degrees. Heading to the Sierra Nevada, Reno will likely top out at 62 degrees, and moving further west, San Francisco is expected to see highs around 70 degrees. In the desert areas, Las Vegas will experience a warm day with temperatures soaring to 81 degrees. In the northern plains, Billings will peak at 55 degrees, and Denver will see a high of only 46 degrees, significantly below average for this time of year. Winds pushing in from the North are contributing to these cooler temperatures. Across the Rockies, temperatures remain cool, but places like Phoenix will feel the warmth with highs projected at 86 degrees. This fluctuation in temperatures is influenced by a ridge of high pressure that continues to build over the Southwest.
A cold front is sweeping across the Midwest, bringing with it a mix of rain and snow from Kansas City to Minneapolis over the next 48 hours. Expect significant precipitation, especially around the Great Lakes, where rain may transition to snow. The Pacific Northwest, including Seattle, sees persistent rain showers, while San Francisco braces for lighter, scattered showers. The Southern Plains and Texas, from Dallas to Houston, should prepare for possible thunderstorms as the cold front pushes south, potentially disrupting Monday morning commutes. In the Southeast, heavy rain blankets an area stretching from Atlanta to Tampa, with a severe weather threat including strong winds and isolated tornadoes through late Monday.
