US Hazards Outlook

NWS Climate Prediction Center College Park MD

300 PM EDT April 15 2024



SYNOPSIS: Overall, the week-2 period looks fairly quiet with mid-level ridging 

forecast across the contiguous U.S. (CONUS) east of the Rocky Mountains. 

Surface high pressure over the eastern CONUS from week-1 will bring slight 

chances for a frost or freeze to areas that may damage sensitive vegetation in 

portions of the East. This area of high pressure is forecast to progress 

eastward into the western Atlantic which will help to bring return flow off the 

Gulf of Mexico into the Mississippi Valley and the surrounding areas. This 

increases chances for heavy precipitation into these regions. Following the 

initial return flow, a trough progressing eastward out of the West may bring 

increased chances for heavy rain and thunderstorms into the Central and 

Southern Plains. In parts of the Lower-Mississippi flooding remains a concern, 

particularly if additional rain falls in this area.



HAZARDS



Slight risk of much below normal temperatures for portions of the Central 

Plains, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Ohio Valleys, Great Lakes, and 

Mid-Atlantic, Tue, Apr 23.



Slight risk of heavy precipitation across portions of the Central and Southern 

Plains, Middle and Lower Mississippi, the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys, Wed-Mon, 

Apr 24-29.



Possible flooding across portions of northeastern Texas, extreme southeastern 

Oklahoma, and much of the Lower Mississippi Valley.
