A big storm has rolled across the country. It started in the south and is now making its way through the northeast.
This storm is causing a mix of weather. The Midwest, mid-Atlantic coast, and Northeast will see a lot of rain. There will also be some freezing rain and a little snow. The snow will be light, and it will stay north of the I-95.
The storm began with heavy rains in California and has moved eastward. It is expected to end early Saturday morning.
As the cold front from Canada moves in, the weather will change. The freezing rain will stop by mid-morning. As it gets colder, the rain will turn to snow. However, it will be a small amount, only a couple of inches at most. Even though the snow will be light.
The storm will bring heavy rain to places like Chicago, Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia. The rain will be a relief for these cities, as they have been very dry this January. This is a big deal because the weather in January has been one of the driest ever in these cities. The rain will change that. The storm is expected to push these cities out of the top 10 driest cities in the country.
As the storm moves off into the Atlantic, it will leave behind a mixture of rain and snow.
The storm will also affect cities like New York and Washington, D. C. The rain will help with the recovery efforts from the air collision in Washington D. C.
The big question is, will the Northeast be ready for the icy roads?
The storm will also impact the northern Gulf Coast, where thunderstorms are expected. So, brace yourselves for a wild weather ride!
