Southwest and Central Plains Rainy Weather
Expect heavy rains across the
Southwest and the
central Plains from Thursday through Friday. With much of
New Mexico and
Texas still soaked from recent rainfall, roads like
Interstate 40 and
State Route 285 may experience flooding and slick conditions. Travelers on
Interstate 35 across the Plains should be prepared for possible delays due to flash flooding.
East Coast Coastal Warnings
A developing coastal low is bringing serious coastal flooding and strong winds to the East Coast. By Friday,
Interstate 95 through the
Mid-Atlantic and
New England regions will see heavy rain and gusts over 45 mph. Expect delays with strong wind impacting bridges and open stretches, particularly in eastern
Massachusetts. Coastal roads could face closures due to erosion and flooding.
Pacific Northwest and Northern Rockies Showers
A strong Pacific system is headed toward the
Pacific Northwest with showers expected on main routes like
Interstate 5 in
Oregon and
Washington. By Friday, rain will spread into the
Northern Rockies, potentially impacting
Interstate 90. Mountain travelers should watch for possible snow in the higher elevations, especially in areas like the
Cascades. Be cautious and stay informed for potential road closures.
