Weeks of heavy rainfall has led to widespread flooding and deadly mudslides across portions of the Philippines.
The hardest hit areas include Southern Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao, especially in the mountainous terrain, where landslides have claimed the lives of at least 34 people.
More than 880,000 people have been displaced by the flooding and mudslides.
Recent heavy rainfall has brought renewed flooding problems to the east-central coastline. Catanduanes was deluged by more than 9 inches of rain in the past couple of days alone.
A wet pattern is expected to continue across the Philippines through the remainder of the weekend and into early next week.
Locally heavy rainfall is possible and the threat exists for more flooding and landslides.
Downpours and locally severe thunderstorms over the Central states will not only foil holiday weekend activities, but will also put some lives at risk.
A few days after a chilly storm departs the Northeast, warm weather will make a strong comeback in parts of the Midwest and the East later next week.
The storm responsible for the wind, cold, rain and snow in the Northeast Friday and Saturday will slowly ease up for the balance of the holiday weekend.
During Sunday's race, the skies will be variably cloudy with the risk of a few showers.
"This pup was literally singing when he saw his family," Michelle Karolicki, relocation program manager of the Central Oklahoma Humane Society, said about a reunion that took place on Thursday.
Another plunge of chilly air will set the stage for the risk of a frost and freeze centered Michigan, Ohio, West Virginia and other nearby states this weekend.
