The jet stream has moved back to the middle of the US and not much change in terms of creating weather events.

A low pressure system is sweeping across the US (predominantly in the lower US) and there is a high pressure system that is moving to the south (currently in Canada). In terms of fronts, there is also a cold front moving through the southern most areas of the US.

Based on precipitation and the low pressure, it is predicted that there will be rain tomorrow starting in the Dakota's/SE and moving east. Areas like the SE have already experienced a lot of rain in March and it will most likely continue tomorrow.
