There is significant weather coming later this week that will impact the eastern half of the country Friday and Saturday. Strong to severe storms will impact parts of the Plains, the Mississippi Valley into the Ohio Tennessee Valleys. Heavy rain, possible flooding, strong winds, hail and tornadoes will be likely for a widespread area. Snow will then fall behind the system as cold air is pulled southward.
