W&a;#8203;hat&s;s Causing The Stormy Weather Pattern T&a;#8203;he main instigator is a sluggish low-pressure system tracking from the West into the central U.S. through early next week. C&a;#8203;lockwise flow from high pressure in the East will pump plenty of Gulf of Mexico moisture northward for this system to interact with, giving rise to repeated rounds of rain and thunderstorms.
