Weather experts said that rainy to thundery weather could be felt and experienced by residents living in the northeastern portion of the United States as the cool and moist air collapses.

Moist Air Expected

Based on the weather forecast, the moist air is expected to be clashing over the northeastern US at the end of the week and towards the first weekend of May.

In addition to the strong temperature contrast that will be encountered from the eastern to western direction, the weather conditions will range from sunny to rainy.

Further, the weather will be thundery towards a span of 100 miles.

On the other hand, a high pressure area will also be encountered over the maritime provinces in Canada towards the end of the week.

They also said that the weather pattern would establish cool, damp and drizzly conditions in some portions of southern and western New England and even in the middle Atlantic coast on Friday.

Weather experts, however, said that at some point in northern New England, the weather may also turn out rather nice with dry air and even sunshine.

Meteorologists said that this would further allow a flow of cool ocean air across New England and the middle portion of the Atlantic region.

The National Weather Service (NWS) said that a certain weather pattern that is composed of upper-level riding over the east and troughing as well as in the northwest portion of the US would bring and support cooler weather in areas such as the northern Rockies.

This weather condition will also bring summer-like warmth that will spread from parts of the Midwest to the middle Atlantic, according to meteorologists.

Meanwhile, in addition to the below average temperatures in the Northwest, the snow is likely across the high terrain of the northern Rockies on Friday.

Aside from that, the above average warmth throughout the Midwest, Ohio Valley, and middle portion of the Atlantic could easily break daily high temperature records on Thursday as highs reach into the upper 80s and low 90s.

High Pressure Along Coast

On the other hand, New England will remain cooler, however, the high pressure would be felt southward along the coast and will promote easterly flow through the end of the week.

This will bring a chilly Atlantic, weather experts noted.

Meanwhile, weather experts also forecasted additional hazards in the central portion of the US due to the potent weather system.

This can have an impact on the region, including fire weather concerns over the southern High Plains throughout the evening.

Further, low relative humidity combined with gusty winds as well as the dry terrain could bring wildfires to develop easily and spread rapidly.

Due to the weather condition, authorities have raised red flag warnings and are being stretched from eastern New Mexico to southeast Colorado, far west Oklahoma, as well as in the northwest Texas Panhandle.
