Northeast Coast Calms Down
As Subtropical Storm Josephine moves away from the East Coast, expect improved conditions along the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast today. However, some areas in southern New England may still experience wind gusts ranging from 20-45 mph. For those around
I-95 and
I-195, keep an eye on minor delays, especially around coastal routes near
Nantucket. Beach erosion remains a concern, so take caution near shorelines.
Rain in the West
The West is seeing a major shift as a deep weather system ushers in heavy rain to
California, the Great Basin, and the Four Corners region. Expect potentially disruptive downpours on
US-50,
I-15, and
I-40 in areas like
Salt Lake City, UT and
Albuquerque, NM. Flash floods are a concern, especially in dry washes and slot canyons. Severe weather with hail and strong winds could impact
I-10 and
I-25 in southeastern Arizona and southwestern New Mexico today.
Southern Sierra Nevada Snow
Travelers on
CA-395 should prepare for snow in the southern Sierra Nevada Mountains. This could make for hazardous conditions today, so plan accordingly.
Northern Rockies Snow Shift
On Friday, the focus will move to the Northern Rockies. Be cautious on
MT-200 and
I-90, as snow could create difficult driving conditions.
Temperature Swings
The West experiences below-average temperatures, while the Northern and Central Plains may see record lows. If you're traveling through
WI or
MN, expect chilly conditions on the
I-94 corridor. Meanwhile, the East enjoys clear skies but cooler temperatures, perfect for a weekend drive along
US-1 in Florida. Overnight, freeze and frost are possible, so keep that in mind if traveling late.
Florida Showers
In Florida, showers and thunderstorms are expected, particularly in the southern regions. This could impact travel on
I-95 and
US-41 over the weekend. Stay tuned for updates as excessive rainfall could emerge.
