Wet Weekend in the South: Rain & Snow to Watch For 02-13 to 02-15

Updated Fri Feb 13th 2026, 4:00am PST

This weekend, we have a dynamic weather pattern shaping up. A low-pressure system is set to bring lots of rain to the South and Southeast, with possible thunderstorms and heavy rain in some areas. Meanwhile, snow showers are expected in the higher elevations of the Interior West and Pacific Northwest. In contrast, the Plains will enjoy warmer than usual temperatures, reaching up to 30 degrees above the norm. Let's dive into what each region can expect!

South and Southeast

Starting Friday, a low-pressure system will move from the Southern Rockies across the Plains to the Lower Mississippi Valley and Southeast. It will bring significant rainfall to the area, with potential thunderstorms and isolated heavy rain, especially in parts like the ArkLaTex region. Make sure to be ready for possible flash flooding on Friday and Saturday. By Sunday, the front reaches the Southeast, bringing rain and potentially a rain-snow mix to higher areas of the Northeast.

Interior West and Pacific Northwest

A frontal system from the Gulf of Alaska will hit the Pacific Northwest, causing rain and snow at higher elevations from Friday into Saturday. As it progresses on Sunday, expect snow in the higher regions of northern California. The change between rain and snow here depends on the elevation levels—higher grounds will see more snow.

The Plains and Central U.S.

Over in the Plains and Central U.S., temperatures will be remarkably higher than usual this winter weekend. Prepare for temperatures 15-30 degrees above normal, with highs in the 60s to 70s, and even reaching the low 80s in Texas. If you're in the Northeast, expect it to stay close to the usual chilly 30s to 40s.
