Some Bad Storms Tonight, a Few Tomorrow, Too

October 17, 2012; 3:45 PM

It looks as though the front crossing the middle Mississippi Valley will be able to cause some severe storms tonight after all. That could include some tornadoes. The front may also trigger a few bad storms toward the East Coast tomorrow as well.

The good news is that it looks mostly quiet for a while in the wake of the front, and the air mass behind the front doesn't look terribly cold ... and will mostly be aimed at the eastern part of the country, so it will warm up again quickly in Texas.

Paul is falling apart near Baja California while Rafael is pulling away from Bermuda into the North Atlantic.

  • VA Ice/Snow, Cold Muscling Farther South

    December 7, 2013; 7:00 PM ET

    Moisture surging north into the cold air in place will cause an icy setup with some snow for some. Once this moisture gets out of the way, the cold will edge farther south, eventually cooling Florida down.

  • Soaking Rains, Ice, Snow and Cold

    December 2, 2013; 6:45 PM ET

    I told y'all the cold will be back and it's on the way. It's some really cold stuff, too. The front leading it in will cause a soaking rain for some as well as snow and ice for others.

  • Temporary Warm Up

    November 30, 2013; 6:15 PM ET

    Not much has changed since yesterday: look for a warmup followed by a soaking followed by a return to cold later next week and next weekend.

  • Cold Returns Eventually

    November 29, 2013; 10:30 PM ET

    Like I said yesterday, it will warm up but eventually the cold will win again. The challenge is figuring out what the transition will be like and how fast it occurs next week and beyond.

  • Benign For Now, But Cold Will Return

    November 28, 2013; 5:45 PM ET

    A spell of quieter weather is underway but it will get busy again next week. During this quiet spell it will warm up gradually. That might feed thunderstorms when it gets stormy again.

  • Cold To Ease Temporarily

    November 27, 2013; 6:15 PM ET

    It's really cold now with some snow on the ground in some areas. It will warm up some but more cold air is lurking.
