National weather forecast: Heavy rain, thunderstorms moving across US

By Janice Dean

Published March 30, 2021

A strong cold front that will move across the Central U.S. and then into the East over the next few days will be the focus of heavy rain, strong thunderstorms and even measurable springtime snow for the Northeast.

Today, that front will enhance strong winds for the Northern and Central Plains. Temperatures will also drop behind it. Those winds combined with low humidity will bring fire danger to some of these regions.
