A storm this weekend is expected to bring heavy rain, strong winds, and possible flooding to parts of the United States, according to weather officials. Forecasters said the system will begin moving in late Friday and continue through Sunday, affecting travel, outdoor plans, and emergency services as it tracks from west to east.
The National Weather Service Storm This Weekend is being fueled by a powerful low-pressure system pulling in moist air, increasing the likelihood of widespread rainfall and thunderstorms. Some areas could receive several inches of rain in a short period, raising the risk of flash flooding in urban and low-lying locations.
In the Midwest and South, officials warned of strong wind gusts capable of downing trees and power lines, potentially causing scattered outages. Weather authorities said thunderstorms in these regions could be slow-moving, which may worsen flooding concerns.
Farther north, cooler temperatures could combine with precipitation to create slick road conditions, particularly in higher elevations. Transportation departments urged drivers to check local advisories and prepare for delays on major highways and at airports.
Emergency management agencies said crews are prepared to respond to flooding, wind damage, and power disruptions. Residents were advised to secure loose outdoor items, stay away from flooded roads, and monitor official forecasts as conditions evolve.
The Storm This Weekend as it moves east late Sunday into early Monday, though lingering showers may continue in some areas. Officials said forecast details could change as the system develops. The story is developing.
