The U.S. is in store for a weather pattern that won’t vary much in the week ahead, with the FOX Forecast Center anticipating what is known as an “Omega block” to dominate.
This pattern is known as an Omega block because the feature resembles the letter from the Greek alphabet. This will mean parts of the East and West coasts will remain rather stormy and cool while the central U.S. has time to dry out and warm up.
After a weekend of showers and storms for the Northeast, rain will linger into the start of the workweek.
Due to the Omega block pattern, the FOX Forecast Center said the rain and increased cloud cover would keep temperatures cooler than they should be during the last month of meteorological spring.
Michigan’s Upper Peninsula could see record-breaking snow, with some areas potentially receiving 1 to 2 feet of snow.
Winter Storm Warnings are in effect for most of Michigan’s western Upper Peninsula and a portion of northern Wisconsin.
A tornado was spotted moving through Virginia Beach on Sunday, causing significant damage to a neighborhood.
And on Saturday, storms triggered severe weather warnings and produced an EF-2 tornado packing 130-mph winds in South Florida.
Several apartment complexes looked damaged from the tornado, and at least one building appeared to have substantial roof damage.
