Today's weather forecast brings a big winter storm sweeping across the eastern half of the country, while a majority of Americans are set to enjoy above-average temperatures on Friday.
The storm system is causing clear conditions for most areas, with a significant rainmaker bringing thunderstorms across the southeast, mid-Atlantic, and up into New England. Some colder regions, particularly interior New England, may experience snowfall as part of this weather feature.
There is a potential risk of severe weather today, primarily focused on South Carolina and extending slightly into North Carolina. South Carolina is expected to be a key area for weather activity in the coming days.
Looking ahead to tomorrow's forecast, lingering showers are possible with highs in the mid-sixties. The system is expected to clear off by Saturday, with early morning showers giving way to a mostly sunny afternoon. Friday may be a rainy and raw day, but Saturday promises better weather conditions.
Across the rest of the country, nearly 300 million Americans are set to experience above-average temperatures today. This means mild weather with temperatures in the fifties and sixties, significantly warmer than recent conditions.
