Severe thunderstorms in the central Plains and rainy conditions in the Northeast will disrupt Mother’s day plans for some, while others in the Southeast and West coast enjoy sunny skies. MORECAST keeps you up to date with what Mother Nature has in store this Sunday.
Northeast
A cold front moving through the Northeast will bring early morning showers from New York to Maine. Rain showers will move east throughout the day, eventually leading to clearing conditions during the afternoon or evening hours for New York City, Philadelphia and Boston. However, those in Maine will continue to see rain into the evening.
Central Plains
Severe thunderstorms are possible from Nebraska to Southern Texas causing potentially dangerous conditions. These thunderstorms are expected to produce large hail, damaging winds and possible tornadoes. Although Sunday will start off partly cloudy for much of the central plains, storms are expected to develop by the late afternoon and last late into the night. Major cities in the path of these storms could include Dallas, Oklahoma City, Wichita, and Omaha. Be aware this Sunday when traveling or planning outdoor activities in case storms head your way.
Southeast
Clear skies and warm weather in the South will make it a perfect day for outdoor activities with Mom. Although residents in Georgia, South Carolina and North Florida will see more in the way of sunshine, you will have to put up with high temperatures reaching near 90°.
