The Nation's Weather for Sunday, May 12, 2019

_____

NATIONAL SUMMARY

After a dry and nice start to the weekend, rain will make

for a much chillier and dreary Mother's Day across most of

the Northeast today. Only northern New England will stay

dry. South of the rain, the stage will be set for locally

severe thunderstorms from southern Virginia to the

east-central Gulf Coast. Damaging winds and downpours will

be the greatest hazards from the severe thunderstorms. Rain

will also stretch to the Ohio Valley, while a few showers

dot the central Plains and lower Great Lakes. The South

Central states, however, will welcome much-needed drier

weather. On the other side of the country, thunderstorms

will dot the desert Southwest, mainly in the afternoon. The

Northwest will stay dry while heat relief finally comes to

the Pacific Northwest.
