US Day 3 – 7 Hazards Outlook
Issued by the Weather Prediction Center (WPC)
Valid Monday, April 14th though Friday, April 18th, 2025
…Overview…
An amplified upper level trough will be in place across the East Coast for the upcoming weekend, with a surface low off the Mid-Atlantic coast likely tracking a little south of Nova Scotia by early next week. Meanwhile, an upper ridge crossing the central U.S. during the weekend will support very warm conditions for this time of year. An incoming upper trough across the northern Rockies will then spur surface cyclogenesis across the central/northern Plains by Sunday with a cold front crossing the Intermountain West. The cold front should then reach the south-central and eastern U.S. by Tuesday as the leading upper ridge continues eastward. The front’s supporting upper trough should reach the East by next Wednesday. Another trough is likely to reach the West Coast region during the Tuesday to Wednesday time period, but its evolution has higher uncertainty.

US Weather Hazards
Issued by the Climate Prediction Center
8 to 14 Day Outlook Summary
Valid Saturday, April 19th though Friday, April 25th, 2025
Synopsis: A shot of much below normal temperatures bringing frost and freeze chances to portions of the Mid-Atlantic is possible at the onset of week-2. Associated with this cold air is an area of surface low pressure forecast to develop in the Northeast and southeastern Canada bringing increased chances for high winds to parts of the region. By the middle of the period, an area of mid-level low pressure over the West will begin to bring increased chances for heavy precipitation and high winds to portions of the south-central contiguous U.S. (CONUS). Flooding remains possible into week-2 along portions of the Middle and Lower Mississippi River.
