A large upper trough will continue across eastern Canada, farther to the south a ridge of high pressure will continue across The Deep South. Between these larger-scale weather systems a series of mid to upper-level disturbances will stream off the Northern Rockies and move eastward into the Great Lakes region. In advance of a wave of low pressure moving from the northern and central High Plains Friday morning, a concentrated axis of moderate to heavy rain will fall. This swath of showers and thunderstorms is forecast to continue eastward eventually reaching the Mid-Mississippi Valley by late Friday night and into Saturday morning. Accompanying this threat of rainfall will be a possibility of flooding along with severe weather. More heat and humidity is in store throughout the holiday weekend across the Southern Plains and Lower Mississippi Valley. Abnormally cool weather will be in store across much of the Northeast.
