Several disturbances will impact certain sections of the country, but most Americans will enjoy a pleasant end to the work-week.
An upper level disturbance sitting over the Western U.S. will continue to produce accumulating snowfall in the Rockies within Colorado and Utah. The lower elevation areas from southern California and the Four Corner states are expected to see scattered rain showers with a possible rumble of thunder or two.
Meanwhile, the upper Midwest and Great Lakes can expect a round of showers and thunderstorms as a cold front pushes through. The afternoon and evening hours is when most of the precipitation is projected to fall.
Along the East Coast, two separate areas of moisture will bring a soaking rain to most states. Almost all of Pennsylvania will be under a batch of rain on Friday, while more scattered activity is anticipated for New England. Further South, a cold front will aid in thunderstorm development, some of which could be on the strong to severe side. The Carolinas can expect more than one round of storms, along with the threat for flash flooding.
Other than that, there is not too much to write home about for the rest of the country, as high pressure dominates much of the nation and allows for some drier weather. This goes for the West Coast, Northwest, Great Plains, and the Mid to Lower Mississippi Valley.
Temperature highs will be in the 50s across New England and the Rockies, except in the higher elevations where 30s and 40s are forecast. Eighties and 90s are expected in the Southern U.S., along the East Coast from Florida to North Carolina and the West Coast. The Great Lakes will be in the 60s while the rest of the country will largely be in the 70s.
