1.   East of the mountains, sinking air currents will promote more sunshine, but puffy clouds will dot the afternoon sky.

2.   Elsewhere, sinking air currents will promote partly to mostly sunny conditions.

3.   In the meantime, sinking air currents will promote ample sunshine across most of the northern Plains, as milder air arrives from the west.

4.   Meanwhile, sinking air currents will promote ample sunshine across the southern Plains, with clearing advancing slowly eastward.

5.   Sinking air currents will promote ample sunshine from northern Texas to the Great Lakes and Middle Atlantic Coast.

6.   Sinking air currents will promote partly to mostly sunny, seasonably warm and mainly dry conditions.

7.   The risk of flooding will persist across the Middle Atlantic states as weak steering currents promote slow-moving storms capable of producing heavy rains over already moist ground.

8.   Weak steering currents will promote slow moving storms that may deluge certain locations with flooding downpours.
