Show Caption Hide Caption New storm threat follows deadly tornadoes A meteorologist discusses a new threat for severe weather brewing in the Midwest and heading up to the Northeast. The heavy rains are expected to end Friday morning. Showers could linger through the holiday weekend with temperatures below normal. The cold winds of a nor'easter are most common from September to April, but New England could see the cold, stormy blast with 50 mph winds deep into May. The National Weather Service in Boston is calling for clouds with unseasonably cool high temperatures for the rest of the week, with temperatures up to 20 degrees below normal. A nor`easter − a storm featuring strong winds from the northeast combined with heavy precipitation − will sweep through the region late Wednesday into early Friday, the weather service said in its forecast discussion. "The brunt of this storm appears to be Thursday, when wind gusts of 40-50-plus mph will be possible along the coast," the discussion said. It also warned "minor" coastal flooding is possible. The heavy rains are expected to end Friday morning, but showers could linger through the holiday weekend. Temperatures will slowly moderate, but still remain below normal into this weekend, the weather service said. "Need a change from the current cloudy, blustery & cool weather pattern?" the weather service wrote in a social media post. "A warming & drying trend is expected this holiday weekend, with weather conditions slowly improving each day. Memorial Monday will likely be the pick of the 3 day weekend." Nor'easters are large, intense areas of low pressure that typically develop off the East Coast during the late fall, winter and early spring. The storms are called "nor'easters" because they usually bring strong northeast winds over the East as they move north along the Atlantic Coast. Nor'easters also often bring heavy rain, heavy snow and severe coastal flooding to the East. Many nor'easters can produce blizzard conditions for a time, especially in New England. − Doyle Rice Blizzards, nor'easters, bomb cyclones: What to know After days of relentless storms targeting the middle part of the United States, which recently saw scores of deaths in a round of tornadoes, a thunderstorm threat on May 20 is focused on states across the Mississippi Valley before moving further east, forecasters said. The storm system will bring scattered showers and thunderstorms to Mississippi Valley states, according to the National Weather Service. There's also an enhanced risk of severe thunderstorms across the Deep South and the Tennessee Valley. On May 21, the risk will shift into the Ohio Valley and East Coast. Through mid-week, storms could include strong tornadoes, damaging winds and large hail, the weather service said. − Jeanine Santucci Weather forecast calls for more storms in central US
