Showers and thunderstorms could accompany the front as it spreads over the northern Plains and Midwest.  

Unsettled weather continues for the Southwest and the southern Rockies, while the Northeast enjoys a much drier and milder day following several days of rain and breezy conditions. 

We’re watching the tropics, but the U.S. is in the clear for now.
