December 18, 2024

Breakfast Brief
Western heat builds, East remains active

A rainy eastern U.S. will keep umbrellas up while snow falls across the interior Northeast and lower Great Lakes. The Southwest is getting a warm-up too. The Breakfast Brief is posted Monday through Friday at 5 a.m. ET.

The WeatherRadar shows another frontal system sweeping across the eastern half, bringing rain and a few thunderstorms. Eastern Texas to the Northeast has a chance to see rain during the early half of the day, while those in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast see the umbrella-worthy weather after lunch.

The colder portion of this storm will bring snow across the Great Lakes and interior Northeast. Hoping for snow in your area to promote the holiday spirit? Check the WeatherRadar now!

On this day in weather history

In 2009, a large snow storm canceled 1,200 flights across New York City. More than two feet of snow piled up from North Carolina through the Mid-Atlantic and to New York and New Jersey all before the winter solstice.

The northern tier will be getting a share of wintry weather but most of the activity will stay in the Pacific Northwest. Rain and snow will spread from northern California to the Seattle Metro through the High Plains. Have your alerts switched on just in case the downpours become heavy enough to cause flooding.

The image shows an intense tropical cyclone over the western Pacific, east of Taiwan and the Philippines. The centre of the system is depicted as a light purple and white vortex with a clearly visible eye, surrounded by a ring of red and orange areas indicating the strongest wind speeds. A white arrow marks the typhoon’s predicted track towards the north-west, in the direction of Taiwan. To the west of the storm lie the Philippines, with the cities of Manila and Cebu; to the north of these lies Taiwan, with Taipei. Further west, the Chinese coast, including Hong Kong, and parts of Vietnam can be seen. The coloured wind map shows predominantly green areas outside the storm’s core, indicating significantly weaker winds. White streamlines illustrate the typhoon’s anti-clockwise circulation in the Northern Hemisphere. The highest wind speeds are concentrated around the eye of the cyclone.
