Weather Flip: Milder East, Relief for Drought-Hit West

0:00On March 28th, as April kicks off, we're seeing a big weather flip across the US. The heat dome baking the West for weeks is shifting east, bringing milder temps to the southeast and east while cooler air dives into the western states. Earlier this week, forecasters like AccuWeather noted warmth surging ahead of average, with highs hitting the 80s for several days in the southeast. But that cozy spell comes with a catch, a front pushing in later will spark thunderstorms and heavy downpours. Folks in the drought hit West have been sweating through record heat, and this change offers real relief. Rain, mountains snow, and gusty winds are on tap, easing the strain on parched lands from California to the Rockies. New details from NOAA point to an atmospheric river sliding into California by late this week, though it'll stay weak with just light rain. A few. Tenths of an inch in spots like San Francisco, and limited snow totals up high. Several storm rounds could help the Inter-Mountain West, but no major flooding expected.
