Forecasters warn of localized flooding from snowmelt given uncertainty over the low’s track.

Overview

  • The Met Office expects heavy rain and gusts exceeding 50 mph in parts of Britain this weekend as the recent Arctic chill gives way to a milder, unsettled pattern.
  • Targeted flood alerts are in place, including along the River Lugg near Leominster, with thawing ice and snow increasing runoff risks.
  • Met Éireann issued a Status Yellow fog advisory from 5 a.m. to 10 a.m. for 11 Irish counties, citing poor visibility and hazardous early travel.
  • U.S. forecasts show lingering Saturday showers clearing to a brighter Sunday, then a return of rain Tuesday into Wednesday ahead of a colder Thanksgiving.
  • Local impacts include morning fog cautions in several U.S. areas and reported water rescues in Breckenridge County after high water.
