If you’re headed out to do some Black Friday shopping, you may want to grab the jackets and raincoats if you’re among the millions of Americans living in the East, South or Northwest.
The first wave of rain showers from the Thanksgiving storm in the southern Plans and lower Mississippi Valley will move toward the Eastern Seaboard, leading to a rough shopping day, especially in the morning, for cities like Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Washington.
Travel impacts are likely in Texas as heavy rain could lead to flooded roads and the potential for air-travel delays. Dallas, for example, will see rain on Friday with high temperatures struggling to reach the mid-50s. And the familiar late-autumn rain and mountain snow will return to the Pacific Northwest while the Southwest remains dry and pleasant.As we head into Saturday, the main storm system will begin to move away from Texas, with rain overspreading areas from Kansas City, Missouri, to Tallahassee, Florida. The rain could be heavy at times and may also be accompanied by thunder and lightning in some locations.
Some of those areas could see higher totals of up to 6 inches, especially in parts of southern Arkansas, northern Louisiana and Mississippi.
