The Nation's Weather for Saturday, December 16, 2023
_____
NATIONAL SUMMARY
The entire western half of the nation can expect a dry start
to the weekend today as a very large zone of strong high
pressure remains parked over the Intermountain West.
Similarly, a separate area of high pressure centered in
southern Quebec will make for rain-free conditions from the
eastern Great Lakes into the Northeast and the mid-Atlantic.
Active weather will be confined to the Midwest and the
Southeast. In the Southeast, a storm will start to intensify
as it comes onshore near or along the Big Bend of Florida,
delivering increasingly widespread heavy rainfall and the
risk for severe thunderstorms from Florida into southern
Georgia. Steady rain will stretch from Louisiana into
southern Wisconsin, with snow for northwestern Minnesota.
