Autumn is in full swing across the U.S., with the West Coast remaining active as heavy rain spins across the coast. This, along with our tropical update, is available at 5 a.m. ET in our daily briefing.

The WeatherRadar is quite active across the western U.S. today. A Pacific storm spinning just offshore of the Pacific Northwest will sweep a wave of heavy rain into northern California, western Oregon and Washington. A gray and soggy Thursday is ahead for Seattle and Portland, Ore.

Across the northern Rockies and the intermountain West, snow will fall across the highest elevations, causing slick roads there.

Meanwhile, a storm system departed the Northeast earlier today, but its back edge could still produce some lingering rain showers across New England. A few wet snowflakes will be possible in the highest mountains of Maine and New Hampshire. The rest of the U.S., outside of a few showers across the Gulf Coast and the western Great Lakes, will be quiet today.

The TemperatureRadar shows a wide range of temperatures across the U.S. Texas, the Southwest and southern Florida will be the hottest places with highs in the low to mid-80s. Coldest will be New England, the Great Lakes and Upper Midwest, where the thermometer will struggle to climb out of the 40s.

The rest of the U.S. will be in the 60s, with the South, Southeast, southern California and the Great Basin reaching the low 70s.

Tropical activity is not expected over the next several days. We continue to monitor the tropics as the Atlantic Hurricane Season lasts until November 30.

If you are (or input a location) within 5 miles of the coast, you can see the marine conditions as well as the high and low tide times, here.
