On Thursday, windy conditions will affect the eastern U.S. along with scattered rain and thunderstorms in the Midwest. Interior New England should watch for wet snow. By Friday morning, freezing conditions are expected as far south as Tennessee. Expect gusty winds, especially near the coast, and minor flooding risks during high tides.
