A sweeping curtain of rain is draping over the eastern United States, stretching all the way from Florida up to the northeastern states. New York and Washington, D.C. are currently experiencing heavy precipitation, which could make evening commutes a bit challenging. Down south, from Atlanta into Tampa, expect consistent rain showers with occasional breaks. Meanwhile, the Midwest is sitting in a pocket of calm with no immediate disturbances on the radar, offering places like Chicago a break from the elements. Heading west, Denver is enjoying clear skies, providing a pleasant contrast to the more active conditions further east. In the Pacific Northwest, Seattle remains dry for now, despite some cloud cover that may eventually bring showers. Overall, the eastern seaboard is the focal point of today’s weather, with significant rainfall dominating the region.
Today’s high temperatures show significant warmth across the country, particularly in the Southwest where Phoenix is feeling the heat at a sizzling 103 degrees. Los Angeles enjoys a milder high of 72 degrees, while San Francisco reaches a comfortable 73. Moving east, Dallas warms up to 77 degrees, but it’s Houston that’s a bit warmer at 81 degrees. Meanwhile, the Southeast is experiencing balmy conditions; Atlanta hits 81 degrees as Tampa sizzles with a high of 90. In contrast, the Midwest remains cooler, with Minneapolis coming in at just 64 degrees and Chicago a chilly 64 as well.
Now for the low temperatures. The Midwest sees a chilly start, with Minneapolis dipping to 45 degrees and Chicago a bit cooler at 43 degrees.

Tomorrow’s high temperatures across the Pacific Southwest are expected to soar to above-average levels. In Phoenix, prepare for an intense 103 degrees, while Los Angeles enjoys a more moderate 77 degrees. San Diego will see pleasant conditions with a high of 69 degrees. Further inland, Fresno will reach 88 degrees, and Salt Lake City follows suit with a forecast high of 80 degrees. The warm air mass dominating the region will contribute to these elevated temperatures, setting the stage for a warm day ahead.
In the Southeast, keep an eye out for intensifying conditions with a cold front sweeping through. Severe thunderstorms could emerge from Atlanta to Tampa, presenting risks of high winds and possible hail. In the Midwest, cooler air is set to take over as a high-pressure system moves in, bringing a calm and sunny pattern to Chicago and Kansas City. In the Northeast, regions like New York and Washington should prepare for ongoing rain showers, potentially impacting commutes. Over the Southwest, specifically around Los Angeles and San Francisco, dry and sunny weather is expected to continue, but temperatures might rise as high pressure builds. In the Pacific Northwest, from Seattle to Billings, watch for increasing chances of rain and clouds as a system approaches. Ski enthusiasts should note snow in the Mountain West, particularly around Denver, with accumulations above elevations of 5,000 feet.
