The Nation's Weather for Saturday, October 23, 2021

_____

NATIONAL SUMMARY

As cooler air continues to push into the Northeast, spotty

showers are expected to dampen western and central portions

of New York and Pennsylvania. Much of New England is likely

to stay dry, but it will be a mostly cloudy day. In contrast

to the chilly Northeast, warmth will fuel showers and a few

embedded thunderstorms in Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana,

eastern Texas and possibly as far east as western

Mississippi. Elsewhere in the Southeast, a morning shower or

two and spotty afternoon thunderstorms will affect South

Florida. The West will get a slight break between storms,

but some rain is still likely in much of Washington, Oregon

and Northern California. A very powerful storm will crash

ashore on Sunday, with heavy rain leading to flash flooding

and mudslides, mainly in wildfire burn scar locations.
