800 FXUS01 KWBC 060634 PMDSPD Short Range Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 233 AM EDT Sat Sep 06 2025 Valid 12Z Sat Sep 06 2025 - 12Z Mon Sep 08 2025 ...There is a Slight Risk of excessive rainfall over parts of the northern Mid-Atlantic... ...There is a Slight Risk of severe thunderstorms over parts of the Northeast/northern Mid-Atlantic on Saturday... ...There are Air Quality Alerts over parts of the Northwest and Northern Rockies, along with Frost Advisories and Freeze Warnings over parts of the Upper Midwest... A front extending from the Lower Great Lakes to the Tennessee Valley and then across parts of the Southern Plains will move eastward to off the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic Coast, across the Southeast to the Gulf Coast States by Monday. Showers and severe thunderstorms will develop along and ahead of the boundary over parts of the Northeast/northern Mid-Atlantic. Therefore, the SPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/5) of severe thunderstorms over parts of the Northeast/northern Mid-Atlantic through Sunday morning. The hazards associated with these thunderstorms are frequent lightning, severe thunderstorm wind gusts, hail, and a few tornadoes. Additionally, the showers and thunderstorms will produce heavy rainfall over parts of the Northeast. Therefore, the WPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/4) of excessive rainfall over parts of the Northeast through Sunday morning. The associated heavy rain will primarily create localized areas of flash flooding, with urban areas, roads, small streams, and low-lying areas being the most vulnerable. Along the front, showers and thunderstorms will develop over parts of the Mid-Atlantic, southern Ohio Valley, Tennessee Valley, and the Lower Mississippi Valley on Saturday. Showers and rain will develop over parts of the Northeast into the Mid-Atlantic on Sunday. Additionally, upper-level energy moving over the Great Lakes will produce scattered showers over parts of the Midwest through Sunday. Furthermore, a weak front lingering over Florida will produce showers and thunderstorms through Sunday. Upper-level energy and ample moisture will produce rain and thunderstorms over parts of the Southern Plains on Sunday into Monday. Moreover, monsoonal moisture, diurnal heating, and upper-level impulses will produce showers and thunderstorms over the Southwest, the Great Basin, the Central/Southern Rockies, and southwestern Texas through Sunday. Due to an area of cold high pressure moving over parts of the Upper Midwest, producing cold temperatures over the region, Frost Advisories and Freeze Warnings have been issued. Elsewhere, rain showers will develop over parts of the Northwest through Monday. Furthermore, smoke from wildfires has prompted Air Quality Alerts over parts of the Northwest and Northern Rockies.
