Some Areas of the U.S. Will Be Spared the Severe Storms This Weekend

As you head west, the weather in New Orleans should also be terrific this weekend, with highs in the upper 70s on Saturday and the lower 70s on Sunday, making it a fantastic time to go to Lafayette Square for the Crescent City Blues and BBQ festival or NOLA Funk Fest in the French Quarter.

Even further to the west, people in Dallas should see temperatures in the low 70s on Saturday and Sunday, making it a great time to explore the State Fair of Texas.

Weather in Phoenix should be in the low 90s on Saturday and upper 90s on Sunday, ahead of hitting 100 degrees on Monday. Therefore, it should be great weather to go on a ghost tour at Four Peaks Brewery or escape into the mountains to find cooler weather.

Central U.S.

It is doubtful that Kansas City residents will be able to see the solar eclipse on Saturday because the weather will be cloudy, with highs in the upper 50s. On Sunday, temperatures should again climb into the upper 50s.

Likewise, residents in Des Moines may have trouble seeing the eclipse as clouds are forecasted for Saturday and Sunday. Temperatures in the low 50s mean you may want to grab a jacket before heading outdoors.

It may rain in the Twin Cities on Saturdays, and temperatures will struggle to reach 54 degrees. While Sunday promises to be sunny, temperatures will not warm up much.

The widespread rain event that started on Thursday should linger over the area through most of Saturday before giving way to clearer skies.

If you live in Detroit, then you need to hustle to get outside activities done before it starts raining on Saturday. With temperatures only reaching about 53 on Saturday and 56 on Sunday, it could be a cold, soggy weekend.

It is likely to rain all weekend in Chicago. Highs on both days should be about 57 degrees. Therefore, plan indoor activities. Pick a different weekend if you plan to attend Fallfest on the Riverwalk on Saturday.

Rockies

Following a winter whiplash that first saw record-high temperatures in Denver on Tuesday and possible snow at upper elevations late in the week, residents of the Mile High City should see sunny skies and a high in the upper 60s over the weekend.

Further to the west, West Yellowstone, Wyoming, should see highs in the low 50s on Saturday and Sunday. Saturday should be partly sunny, but the sun should shine brightly on Sunday.

Albuquerque, New Mexico, in the Southern Rockies, should be in the mid-70s over the weekend. Forecasters may extend the red flag warning because humidity levels should be extremely low, and a brisk wind may be blowing.

East Coast

People in New England should see another soggy weekend. In New York City, highs in New York City should reach 55 degrees, while on Sunday, highs should reach 60 degrees as the sun attempts to come out.

Heading south, residents of Boston should see a near-perfect weekend, with highs near 60 on both days. Skies should be partly cloudy on Saturday, while the clouds should disappear on Sunday.

If you are considering escaping to Hilton Head, South Carolina, for a fall getaway, you owe it to yourself. Highs should be in the upper 70s on both days.

West Coast

Book those plane tickets for a Californian getaway over the weekend. Highs in Los Angeles should be around 82 on Saturday and 87 on Sunday.

Moving up the coast, Portland, Oregon, may get some rain on Saturday, with temperatures reaching about 67 degrees, while Sunday will be gorgeous with highs of about 67 degrees.

Even further north, you will want to plan indoor activities in Seattle for Saturday, as the area will likely see rain and temperatures of about 62 degrees. Sunday will be a better day for outdoor activities as it should be sunny, and temperatures should get to about 63 degrees.

Check for further updates wherever you go this weekend, as the weather can be unpredictable. Therefore, checking your local weather forecast before heading out the door is always a great idea.
