The arctic cold entrenched across the middle of the country has been sent packing. Look at these forecast highs for Friday. It’s going to be a beautiful day in Los Angeles, Phoenix, Miami, Atlanta… and I think even folks in New York will like the relief from the cold.

But, it’s still winter. And with the warmer tropical air mass, you raise your chances for heavy rain.

The heavy rain is already setting up over parts of Southern Texas, such as Corpus Christi and now San Antonio.

By Saturday, this heavy rain moves to places like New Orleans, Louisiana, where the New Orleans Saints take on the Arizona Cardinals for an NFL Playoff game. Tailgaters will get a good soaking! You can see the heaviest rain activity runs right up through central Mississippi as well.
