The Weather Man Podcast: Recent Episodes
Stephen Pellettiere
Weekly news on relevant and interesting weather topics, news and personalities. We explain and discuss Tornadoes, Hurricanes, winter snow and ice storms, heat waves, cold waves, regular rainstorms, and how it matters to our homes, cities, states, country and the world. We'll talk about weather all around the world and the people who work 24/7/365 to warn, report, forecast, and archive all that happens weather-wise! Hosted by Certified Consulting and Broadcast Meteorologist Steve Pellettiere in the New York/Northeast region. The "Jersey Weatherman" will entertain, inform and amaze you with factual information, not only about the weather but about everything "UP" that he has experienced in over 45 years of weather and science casting.
Spring warmth can vanish fast, and we prove it with a real-time look at a wild temperature jump that briefly made the region feel like July. We break down how a southwest wind can spike readings near 80 and why a thermometer’s location matters, especially when it sits near a major roadway with constant traffic and extra heat. If you follow New Jersey weather, NYC weather, Long Island forecasts, or eastern Pennsylvania conditions, this is a practical reminder that “the number” depends on exposure, wind, and microclimates.
From there, we get into the Thursday forecast: rain moving in, temperatures dropping as the day goes on, and the possibility of wet snow mixing in later in the day or early evening as colder air arrives. We talk timing, what that means for accumulation risk, and why areas farther southwest like parts of the Shenandoah into Maryland and southwestern Pennsylvania can have a better shot at seeing accumulating snow while the metro mainly deals with a chilly, damp changeover.
We also run through the near-term outlook with a cooler but calmer Friday, a mostly sunny Saturday that could still see a quick early frontal pass, and another round of rain later Sunday into Monday before a sharper cold push midweek. If you’re traveling by air, we flag occasional showers and possible mixed precipitation aloft near the New York area that can slow operations, with potential delays at Newark, LaGuardia, and JFK, plus a fast check of conditions from Boston to DC and out to the West Coast. Subscribe, share this update with a friend who’s always “dressed for the wrong season,” and leave a review with your local high and what you saw outside.
Winter storm continues across North Carolina and the southern
Mid-Atlantic through this evening ...
...Record cold temperatures will settle south toward the Gulf Coast
through the next couple of days while dangerously cold wind chills over
the northern Plains into Friday...
...Another round of mountain snow and lower elevation rain moving into the
Pacific Northwest today will spread into the northern and central Rockies
Thursday into Friday...
Moderate snowfall is ongoing this afternoon across North Carolina and the
southern Mid-Atlantic and is expected to fall though Thursday morning for
these regions, with accumulations of 6-10 inches of snow possible.
Additionally, areas of sleet/freezing rain are also expected just to the
south of the swath of snowfall across the coastal plains of North Carolina
this afternoon into early this evening. Travel will be difficult in icy
areas and in areas of low visibility. Other winter weather concerns across
the east include a chance for light snow showers Thursday across the
Mid-Atlantic and Appalachians as an upper low moves across the area. Light
snowfall accumulations have a low probability across these regions. Lake
effect snowfall may also be ongoing, especially downwind of Lake Michigan
for tomorrow.
A cold front will sweep through Florida this afternoon and bring the
chance of showers and thunderstorms. More importantly, Florida will join
the millions of people experiencing this Arctic air outbreak. High
temperatures will drop from the 70s and 80s to the 50s and 60s and low
temperatures in the 30s as far south as Orlando by later this week. The
rest of the country should be in the peak of the Arctic air outbreak. High
temperatures will slowly modify by the end of the week, but will remain
below average with temperatures in the teens, twenties, and thirties
across the Plains, Midwest, and eastern U.S.. Wind chills will be
hazardously cold. Temperatures will feel below zero in the southern
Plains, and the northern Plains may feel as cold as -20 to -30 in the
northern Plains for at least the next day or two with the influence of the
Arctic high pressure. Be sure to dress in layers including a hat, face
mask, and gloves if you must go outside!
Another round of unsettled weather of rain and wind is approaching the
Pacific Northwest as an area of low pressure and attendant cold front
sweep southeastward. A period of moderate to locally heavy rain near the
coast is ongoing today, and some heavy snow is expected across the
Cascades and Northern Rockies Thursday. The cold front is progged to pass
southward across the West toward the Four Corners region, but the front
will be relatively weak and temperatures should remain around 5-10 degrees
above average, as well as mostly dry, for the Southwest.
Coastal storm brings rain and snow showers to New England through New
Year's Day...
...Long duration lake-effect snow event continues downwind of the Great
Lakes...
...Periods of locally heavy coastal rains and higher elevation snow
continue for much of the northwestern U.S....
...Coverage of frigid Winter temperatures begins to expand from the
Northern Plains into the Midwest...
A coastal storm off of New England will continue to bring some light to
moderate rain showers to the coast and accumulating snowfall to higher
elevations of the interior through the remainder of New Year's Day. Winter
weather-related Advisories and Warnings are in place as snowfall totals of
5-10 inches are expected, with locally higher amounts over a foot
possible. Very blustery winds will also continue across much of the
Northeast as a whole, and may lead to some blowing snow where snowfall is
occurring. A favorable pattern for heavy lake-effect snow will also remain
in place in the Great Lakes over the next few days, particularly downwind
of Lakes Erie and Ontario. Storm total snowfall of 2-4 feet will be
possible for areas that see the most persistent lake-effect bands. Some
more moderate accumulations will also be possible in Michigan downwind of
Lakes Superior and Michigan. A quick moving system will lead to some light
wintry precipitation for portions of the Midwest Thursday before bringing
some more significant accumulating snowfall to the central Appalachians
Friday as well.
Is the snow-covered beauty of the Rockies calling your name, or perhaps you're wondering how the impending Canadian high-pressure system could impact your New Year weekend plans?

Steve Pelletier breaks down the current weather systems with precision and clarity, ensuring you're not caught off guard by the shifting patterns. With high pressure moving into the Dakotas and low pressure sweeping through Ohio, find out how these developments set the stage for a clear and crisp start to the year in many parts of the country. While the West Coast battles fog and rain, the East experiences a brief respite before another round of showers. As we step into January, brace yourself for a chill as cold air descends from Canada, bringing temperatures down significantly. Tune in for expert advice and a lively discussion to keep you prepared and informed.
Continued rounds of heavy rain and mountain snow for the Pacific
Northwest...
...Heavy rain and strong thunderstorms return for eastern Texas into
Louisiana on Thursday...
...Relatively mild conditions across the majority of the country through
Friday...
The very active storm track across the eastern Pacific and into the
Pacific Northwest will continue to make weather headlines through the end
of the week. The next in a series of atmospheric river events is now
ongoing across the Pacific Northwest, with moderate to heavy rainfall and
a few thunderstorms continuing into Thursday morning. This round will
likely result in widespread 1 to 3 inch rainfall totals, and there may be
some instances of flooding where rainfall rates are highest. Once this
first system moves inland, there will be a short-lived break Thursday
afternoon before the next round arrives Thursday night for many of the
same areas, bringing an additional 1-2 inches of rain by Friday morning.
Strong and potentially damaging winds are also expected near the coast and
the coastal waters given a strong low level jet with these storm systems.
The Cascades and the Olympic Mountains will get hammered with heavy snow
on the order of 1-3 feet, where winter storm warnings are in effect, and
lighter snows heading south into northern California with winter weather
advisories. The higher terrain of the northern Intermountain West and the
Northern Rockies will also get noteworthy snowfall as moisture from this
storm system moves inland.
Unsettled weather conditions are also expected for portions of the
south-central U.S. going into Thursday, with an amplifying upper trough
developing a new surface low and moisture plume from the western Gulf,
heralding the development of scattered to widespread showers and
thunderstorms. Both wind shear and instability parameters appear to
become increasingly favorable for some severe weather on Thursday, and
therefore the Storm Prediction Center has portions of the ArkLaTex region
in a Slight Risk for severe storms. Heavy rainfall could also be an issue
where these storms train over the same areas, and there is a Slight Risk
of flash flooding from eastern Texas to central Arkansas. An axis of
heavy rain is likely across portions of the Mid-South going into Friday as
the storm system slowly moves eastward.
It will be a tale of two weather patterns for the country heading through
the Christmas holiday, as portions of the West and south-central U.S. see
a couple rounds of unsettled weather while most other locations remain
dry. In the West, moderate to heavy lower elevation rain will remain
possible with showers and thunderstorms in California though Christmas Eve
as a Pacific system moves inland, with heavy higher elevation snow for the
Sierra. Some isolated flooding will remain possible along upslope regions
of the Sierra. The precipitation focus will spread inland over the Great
Basin and northern/central Rockies through Christmas Eve night and into
Christmas morning as the system continues eastward, with a mix of rain and
snow for lower elevations and snow into the mountains. Any accumulations
should light for lower elevations with a few inches possible in the
mountains. Another Pacific system will approach the Pacific
Northwest/northern California on Christmas day bringing another round of
moderate to heavy lower elevation/coastal rain and heavy high elevation
snow. Some isolated flooding will be possible along upslope regions of the
coastal ranges, and Winter Storm Watches have been issued for the Cascades
south through the Mt. Shasta region in California for snow totals of 1-2
feet through Thursday. The system will continue inland into the day
Thursday bringing more lower elevation rain/snow and high elevation snow
to the Great Basin and northern/central Rocky Mountains. Heavy snow totals
of 4-8 inches, locally 12"+, are also expected through many ranges of the
northern Great Basin/Rockies. Any accumulations at lower elevations should
remain light. Strong, gusty winds will spread inland with the system and
lead to blowing snow at higher elevations.
To the east, showers and thunderstorms remain in the forecast for portions
of the south-central U.S. the next couple of days as a couple upper level
waves/surface systems pass through the region. Showers and thunderstorms
will continue through this evening over eastern Texas and into the
ArkLaTex ahead of the first system. Some severe thunderstorms producing
mainly hail and isolated damaging winds are possible, as well as some
locally heavy downpours and isolated instances of flash flooding. This
system will make little progress eastward and weaken Christmas day as a
supporting upper-level wave departs the region, which fortunately means
more scattered chances of storms into the Middle/Lower Mississippi Valley.
Then, by early Thursday, another upper-level wave dropping southward will
lead to lee cyclogenesis and a second frontal system pushing eastward into
the southern Plains. Plentiful Gulf moisture lingering just along the
coast will quickly return back northward over Texas/Oklahoma and into the
Arklatex, leading to a renewed round of showers and thunderstorms. Severe
weather will once again be possible with a Slight Risk (level 2/5) issued
from the Storm Prediction Center for the threat of damaging winds as well
as the potential for tornadoes. In addition, widespread storms producing
locally heavy downpours will also once again bring the threat of some
isolated flash flooding. Some more scattered showers and storms will be
possible further northeastward into the Middle and Upper Mississippi
Valleys as well.

...Widespread heavy rain threat developing from the central and eastern
Gulf Coast to the entire East Coast tonight into Wednesday...
...Arctic air to plunge south and eastward across the northern Plains,
Upper Midwest, and Great Lakes tonight into Wednesday...
...Another round of significant lake effect snow to begin Wednesday and
continue through Thursday downwind of the Lakes...
A developing storm system over the Southeast U.S. is set to bring
widespread heavy rains from the central and eastern Gulf Coast to the
entire East Coast tonight into Wednesday. A wave of low pressure will
rapidly strengthen and move northeastward across the interior Mid-Atlantic
and Northeast, dragging a strong cold front along with it. Ahead of the
front, warm and moist air will set the stage for numerous showers and
thunderstorms, some of which could become strong to severe. This is
especially the case across eastern North Carolina on Wednesday, where the
Storm Prediction Center has issued a Slight Risk (level 2 of 5) for severe
thunderstorms capable of producing damaging wind gusts. Elsewhere along
the Eastern Seaboard, the main concern will be a period of heavy rain with
embedded strong thunderstorms and intense downpours. Despite much of the
region currently experiencing moderate to extreme drought conditions, the
rain, while mostly beneficial, could still lead to some localized
instances of flash flooding. The more urbanized locations and poor
drainage areas would have the greater risk of flooding issues.
The cold front will sweep across the East Coast Wednesday into Thursday,
with much colder air surging in from the north and northwest in its wake.
This Arctic blast will first plunge into the northern Plains and Upper
Midwest tonight before expanding eastward across the Great Lakes,
Mid-Atlantic and Northeast Wednesday and Thursday. High temperatures the
next couple of days will be roughly 10 to as much as 30 degrees below
normal. The cold post-frontal air mass will also help to change rain to
snow across the western slopes of the Appalachians and interior portions
of New England and the Northeast with at least modest accumulations
looking like a decent bet.
Attention then turns to yet another round of significant lake effect snow
downwind of the Great Lakes Wednesday through Thursday. The aforementioned
Arctic air will stream across the still relatively warm Great Lakes and
ignite intense bands of lake effect snow, initially downwind of Lakes
Superior and Michigan on Wednesday and then downwind of Lakes Erie and
Ontario Wednesday night into early Thursday. By the time the snow starts
to taper off on Friday, snowfall totals of 1 to 2 feet are likely in the
favored Snow Belt across portions of northwest and western New York State,
far northwest Pennsylvania, far northeastern Ohio, the Upper Peninsula of
Michigan and the western portions of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan.

.Widespread, potentially significant flash flooding possible in central
and southwestern Louisiana tonight...
...Showers and thunderstorms spread across the Tennessee/Ohio Valleys
through Sunday...
...An atmospheric river will bring heavy coastal rain and high elevation
snowfall to portions of the Pacific Northwest beginning Sunday night...
...Above average temperatures continue for much of the country through
early next week...
A slow moving cold front will continue to focus substantial moisture over
portions of the Lower Mississippi Valley tonight. There's a High Risk of
Excessive Rainfall leading to Flash Flooding across much of central and
southwestern Louisiana this evening. Remember to avoid driving through
flooded roadways. Anomalous moisture will work its way up into the
Tennessee/Ohio Valleys this evening and produce some additional showers
and thunderstorms through Sunday evening. Rain showers move into the
Northeast/Mid-Atlantic on Sunday as the aforementioned cold front moves
through the region.
A deep area of low pressure will bring coastal heavy rain and high
elevation snow across the Pacific Northwest beginning Sunday night. Rain
and snow will likely spread farther inland over parts of northern
California and the Northern Rockies on Monday. Rainfall isn't likely to
cause any flash flooding concerns and snowfall probably won't cause
notable impacts since it'll remain confined to the highest peaks of the
Northwest mountains. Temperatures across the country should remain mild
beneath a predominantly ridge-y pattern.
.Historic winter storm to bring more heavy snow and blizzard conditions
to portions of Colorado, New Mexico, and the Oklahoma and Texas Panhandle
through tonight...
...Showers and thunderstorms will bring the threat of flash flooding to
the southern Plains through tonight, and into the Lower Mississippi Valley
and Mid-South for Saturday and Saturday night...
...Above average temperatures continue for much of the country this
weekend...
...Atmospheric river to arrive across the Pacific Northwest on Sunday with
heavy coastal rains and high elevation snowfall...
A historic winter storm with very heavy snowfall will continue to impact
the southern Rockies and portions of the immediate southern High Plains
going through tonight, including areas of Colorado, New Mexico and small
parts of the Oklahoma and Texas Panhandle region. Going through tonight,
areas of eastern Colorado will see the heaviest additional snowfall totals
with locally over a foot of new snow expected. This will be supported by
snowfall rates that will occasionally fall at 1 to 2 inches/hour. Strong
and gusty winds accompanying the snow will also continue to promote
blizzard conditions and especially over northeast New Mexico where
Blizzard Warnings remain in effect. As a result, travel will continue to
be very difficult to impossible, and especially with numerous road
closures already locally in place. The very slow-moving area of low
pressure responsible for this historic, multi-day winter storm will begin
to advance northeast out across the central Plains this weekend, and this
will allow for the snow to begin tapering off on Saturday.

Weather By Steve Pellettiere
Heavy rain and flash flood threat will continue for portions of the
Southeast this weekend, then the flash flood threat will shift to the
Carolinas/Mid-Atlantic early next week...
...A strong low pressure system will bring unsettled weather to the West
late this weekend/early next week, with wintry precipitation expected at
high elevations...
...Well above average temperatures for the Central U.S. and Northeast;
well below average temperatures for the West...
Though it is now post-tropical, Francine will continue to bring a threat
for heavy rain and flash flooding to portions of the Southeast through
Sunday. The central area of low pressure will gradually sink south towards
the Gulf Coast with a stationary boundary extending to the Southeast Coast
and a cold front extending back towards the Southern Plains. The
stationary boundary will be the main focus for convection this weekend,
and training showers and thunderstorms with locally heavy rainfall will
create a threat for scattered instances of flash flooding. There is a
Slight Risk of Excessive Rainfall (level 2/4) for portions of Arkansas,
Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, and Georgia today and Sunday. Flash Flood
Watches are in effect for much of this area, and urban/poor drainage areas
and areas that already received heavy rainfall over the past few days will
be most at risk for flash flooding.
A separate area of low pressure will strengthen along the stationary
boundary extending from the Southeast Coast, which will maintain shower
and thunderstorm chances from Florida to the Carolinas and southern
Mid-Atlantic through early next week. This low pressure system is forecast
to gradually track north along the East Coast early next week and will
bring a heavy rain and flash flood threat to portions of the Carolinas and
Mid-Atlantic. There is a Slight Risk of Excessive Rainfall (level 2/4) for
eastern North Carolina on Monday where scattered instances of flash
flooding will be possible.

.Debby to move slowly inland through northeast South Carolina into
western North Carolina Wednesday night-Thursday, then more rapidly
northeastward Friday-Saturday from the Central Appalachians into Northern
New England...
...Heavy rains, flash and river flooding likely along and to the north and
northeast of Debby, while isolated tornadoes possible to the east of the
track...
...Much above average temperatures to persist next two days across much of
the West into the Southern Plains and South, while below average
temperatures spread across the Northern and Central Plains and Upper
Mississippi Valley...
...Record heat coming to and end from the Southwest into the South by the
end of the week...
...Fire weather threat and poor air quality continue from the Pacific
Northwest into the Northern Rockies and Great Basin...
Debby will make its second U.S. landfall Wednesday evening along the South
Carolina coast and push slowly northwestward through northeast South
Carolina Wednesday night into Thursday, across western North Carolina
during Thursday and then accelerate to the northeast from the Central
Appalachians into Northern New England Friday into Saturday. Sustained
winds with Debby will be lessening as the storm pushes inland and weakens,
with heavy rains, flash flooding and river flooding being the primary
threat as the system pushes northwestward and then more to the north and
northeast over the next few days. The continued slow motions of Debby
through Thursday will produce rainfall totals in the 4-8 inch range, with
locally heavier amounts, across northeast South Carolina, southeast to
central North Carolina into western Virginia, eastern West Virginia and
far western Maryland. Flood watches are currently in effect across these
areas, affecting approximately 19 million people. As the storm begins to
accelerate to the northeast on Friday through the northern Mid-Atlantic,
northern NY State and northern New England, expected precipitation amounts
will likely be less than when the storm is slower moving. Still, rainfall
totals of 2-4" likely across central to eastern Pennsylvania, central to
northern NY State into northern New England, continuing the threat of
flash and river flooding across these areas.
No let up to the much above average temperatures over the next two days
across much of the West into the Southern Plains and South, with record
high potential Thursday across portions of Texas and the northeast Gulf
Coast from southeast Louisiana into North Florida and again on Friday from
southeast Louisiana into the Florida Panhandle. While temperatures are
still above average from the West into the South over the next few days,
it does appear that record high potential will be coming to an end by the
weekend, Heat advisories are currently in effect across the Southern
Plains into the South, affecting nearly 44 million people.

to impact portions of South and North Carolina...
...Increased flash flood potential for portions of the Desert Southwest
and northern Mid-Atlantic this evening and Wednesday...
...Excessive heat for the Southern Plains to the central Gulf Coast
through Thursday while the Northern Plains...
Tropical Storm Debby is expected to track very slowly northward from its
Tuesday afternoon position near the southern South Carolina coast through
Thursday night, after briefly moving back out over the western Atlantic
ocean tonight. The slow movement will continue to support areas of heavy
rain which are going to fall over the central and eastern Carolinas over
the next 48 hours. Additional rainfall totals of 10-20 inches, with
maximum amounts of 25 inches, are expected which will likely result in
areas of catastrophic flooding. Urban and areal flooding along with major
flooding of area rivers and streams are expected due to the excessive
runoff of heavy rain. In addition, Debby will bring a threat for tornadoes
to coastal sections of the Carolinas through tomorrow, spreading northward
into southeastern Virginia for Thursday. For additional information on
Debby, please visit hurricanes.gov.
Farther north into the norther Mid-Atlantic region, deep moisture related
to Debby along with a slow moving cold front and favorable wind shear
aloft will support the generation of thunderstorms through tonight from
portions of eastern Ohio into the New York City metro region. These
thunderstorms will be capable of severe winds and a couple of tornadoes
along with areas of flash flooding. While the threat for severe
thunderstorms looks diminished on Wednesday for the northern Mid-Atlantic
region, an increased potential for flash flooding will remain from
southern New Jersey into eastern Maryland and the remaining Delmarva
Peninsula.

through Saturday, while sizzling temperatures will also begin to build
across portions of the central and eastern U.S....
...Showers and storms will continue along portions of the East Coast from
the Carolinas to the New England, with flash flooding possible...
...Several rounds of thunderstorms will bring the threat of large hail and
damaging winds to the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest this weekend...
...Monsoon showers expected for the Four Corners Region with locally heavy
rainfall and isolated flash flooding possible...
Temperatures will remain dangerously hot through at least Saturday across
much of the West as a stubborn upper-level ridge remains overhead. The
most intense heat Friday and Saturday will focus over portions of the
Desert Southwest Friday and the Great Basin and central California Valleys
Friday into Saturday. Many near daily record-tying/breaking high
temperatures are expected with highs generally in the low 100s, and into
the 110s for the Desert Southwest. Widespread heat-related advisories and
warnings remain in place due to the threat from this heat, which remains
dangerous given the longevity and the intensity of this heat wave. The
ridge is expected to begin shifting a bit eastward by Sunday, which will
finally bring a little relief to the region. Pockets of hotter
temperatures will remain, particularly in the northern Great Basin, but
highs overall will be cooler by a few degrees, reducing the intensity of
the heat and heat-related illnesses. Unfortunately, as the ridge begins to
shift eastward and heights build in over the southern U.S., areas of
hazardous heat will expand over central and eastern portions of the
country through this weekend. Portions of the northern and central Plains,
already hot this week, will continue to see intense heat in the upper 90s
to low 100s into the weekend, with some daily record-tying/breaking highs
possible. Hotter temperatures into the upper 90s will also begin to expand
over the Southeast Saturday, and then in the low to mid-90s across the
Midwest on Sunday. The threat from this heat will only expand and
intensify across the central/eastern U.S. heading into early next week,
and it will be important to monitor the latest forecast and
watches/warnings for your area as confidence is increasing in extremely
dangerous, potentially deadly heat for many of the urban areas across the
Southeast and along the East Coast.
A quasi-stationary frontal boundary draped along the East Coast will
continue to remain a focus for numerous showers and thunderstorms through

Post-Tropical Cyclone Beryl to bring severe thunderstorms, heavy rain
and flooding to parts of the Northeast, northern Mid-Atlantic, and New
England tonight...
...Scattered flash flooding possible across the eastern Mid-Atlantic
Friday...
...Dangerous heat and record high temperatures to continue for much of the
West through the end of the work week...
Beryl continues to make its trek through the Lower Great Lakes and toward
the Northeast this afternoon as a Post-Tropical Cyclone. Thunderstorms
forming both ahead of an approaching cold front nearing the Mid-Atlantic
and along/north of a warm front stretching from northern New York State to
New England will be capable of containing intense rainfall rates, which is
likely to produce numerous areas of flash flooding. A Moderate Risk (level
3/4) of Excessive Rainfall remains in effect from northern New York to
northern Vermont and New Hampshire, where the greatest chances for
widespread flash flooding exists. Additionally, tornadoes and damaging
winds are possible across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic States until late
tonight. Residents and visitors in these regions are reminded to stay
weather aware and have multiple ways to receive warnings.
The aforementioned cold front entering the Mid-Atlantic tonight is
forecast to stall along the East Coast to end the work week, with an
increase in thunderstorm coverage on Friday. At least a few inches of
rainfall are forecast to impact areas from coastal South Carolina to
southern New Jersey, including much of the eastern Mid-Atlantic. A Slight
Risk (level 2/4) of Excessive Rainfall has been issued for this region on
Friday to highlight the potential for scattered flash flooding. Not only
will this frontal boundary increase rainfall chances, but dangerous heat
experienced across the East will greatly abate for the end of the week.
Extreme and record-breaking heat will continue throughout much of the
West, with the focus beginning to shift out of the Pacific Northwest and
towards the High Plains, while remaining in the Southwest. Highs are
forecast to soar into the upper 90s and triple digits for these locations,
with 110s and 120s possible in the typically hot desert/interior valley
locations of California, Arizona, and Nevada. Dozens of daily high
temperature records are forecast on Thursday and Friday from the West
Coast to the High Plains. Excessive Heat Warnings and Heat Advisories
remain in effect for much of the western United States in order to further
highlight the dangerously hot temperatures. This level of heat for ma
Can you handle the heat? Brace yourself for a sizzling weather update with meteorologist Steve Pelletier as we navigate the intense conditions gripping the nation this Wednesday, July 10th, 2024. We'll unpack the remnants of Burrell, a low-pressure system now hovering over Ohio and the eastern Great Lakes, and its impact on regions from New York to DC and all the way up to Boston. Expect soaring temperatures ranging from 90 to 97 degrees, accompanied by oppressive heat index values hitting up to 110. With an excessive heat warning in effect and the likelihood of heavy downpours and thunderstorms, flight delays are almost a given, particularly in the afternoons and evenings. Your safest bet for air travel? Mornings, without a doubt.
But that's not all. From improving skies in Atlanta by Thursday to stormy forecasts in New Mexico and Arizona, Steve paints a comprehensive picture of the national weather landscape. The West Coast remains dry, while the Midwest, particularly Chicago and Minneapolis-St Paul, braces for delays due to incoming storms. Stay hydrated, wear light clothing, and take it easy in the heat. Tune in for essential tips on navigating these challenging conditions and prepare yourself for the weather ahead. Steve Pelletier has you covered, ensuring you stay informed and safe until his next update!

Post-Tropical Cyclone Beryl to bring heavy rain and flooding to parts
of the Midwest, eastern Great Lakes, and Northeast tonight and Wednesday...
...Dangerous heat and record high temperatures to continue for much of the
West into Thursday...
...High humidity in the East will support heat indices of 100-110F from
the Southeast to the Mid-Atlantic on Wednesday and Major to Extreme
HeatRisk...
Post-Tropical Cyclone Beryl will continue its northeastward trek into
Wednesday, with an associated precipitation shield extending to its
northeast ahead of a warm front. Both severe weather and flash flooding
are possible through parts of the Midwest/Ohio Valley this evening.
Tornadoes are possible with severe weather and heavy rainfall could cause
small river and roadway flooding, especially in urban areas. Rainfall
totals of 2-4 inches, with locally higher amounts, are expected. On
Wednesday, Beryl will continue northeastward through Ohio and into Ontario
and rainfall will increase over northern areas of New York into New
England. Thunderstorms could be severe in some areas with some tornado
potential. The flash flooding threat will be greater over parts of
northeastern New York into northern Vermont/New Hampshire, especially in
hillier areas. Elsewhere, showers and some thunderstorms are possible over
parts of New Mexico, along the Gulf Coast, and into the
Southeast/Mid-Atlantic.
In the West, the intense heat will continue for at least a few more days,
with temperatures well above normal and reaching or exceeding daily record
highs over many locations from Mexico to Canada west of the Rockies.
Excessive heat warnings or heat advisories are in effect for much of the
area outside the high mountains, even including the foothills.
Temperatures well into the 100s/110s will be commonplace, resulting in a
widespread Major to Extreme HeatRisk. In addition to the record high daily
temperatures, the early morning lows are also expected to set records
across large portions of the West over the coming two mornings. The
multi-day length and record warm overnight temperatures will continue to
cause heat stress to anyone without adequate cooling and hydration.
Elsewhere, temperatures will be cooler than average along the path of
Post-Tropical Cyclone Beryl thanks to overcast skies and rain. Ahead of
its path, the East Coast will see another day of warm/hot temperatures
well into the 90s from the Mid-Atlantic southward through the Caro

Beryl to bring heavy rain and flooding from the Lower Arkansas River
Valley, northeast into the Middle Mississippi Valley, Lower Ohio Valley
and Lower Great Lakes...
...Record high temperatures to continue into mid week across large
portions of the west coast, while record high minimum temperatures stretch
from the Gulf coast, northeast along the East coast...
Beryl is expected to move steadily northeastward from eastern Texas Monday
afternoon, across Arkansas on Tuesday, into the Lower Ohio Valley Tuesday
night and into the Lower Great Lakes on Wednesday. While the wind speeds
associated with Beryl will continue to weaken as it moves farther from the
Gulf of Mexico, the storm will continue to be a prolific heavy rain
producer as it pushes northeastward. Widespread heavy rains are likely
along and to the northeast of the path of Beryl over the next two days
with rainfall totals of 2-5" from far northeast Texas, across large
section of Arkansas, southeast Missouri, central to southern Illinois,
Indiana, far northwest Ohio into the southern portions of the L.P. of
Michigan. These amounts are on top of the 5 to 10+ inches of rains that
fallen along the path of Beryl as it pushed inland earlier Monday along
the central Texas Gulf Coast. Flood watches are currently in effect along
the path of Beryl from eastern Texas, northeastward into southern
Illinois, affecting over 15 million people.
No let up expected to the string of record high temperatures being set
across large portions of the West coast. The mid to upper level high that
has been anchoring the record western record heat is not expected to
change much over the next several days, as it remains in place, stretching
from Southern California/Desert Southwest, northward through the Great
Basin and across the Pacific Northwest and Northern Rockies. Excessive
heat warnings, watches, and heat advisories are currently in effect for
nearly all of Washington State, Oregon, California, Idaho, Nevada and
southwest Arizona. Numerous record high temperatures are expected across
these areas over the next few days where high temperatures will be
anywhere from 10 to as high as 30 degrees above average. In addition to
the record high daily temperatures, the early morning lows are also
expected to set records across large portions of the West over the next
two mornings. Much above average temperatures also likely to remain in
place along much of the east over the next few days. While there is not
forecast to be many record high temperatures across the East over the next
few days, numerous record high minimum temperatures are likely from the

Tropical Storm Beryl expected to re-intensify to hurricane strength and
make landfall on the central Texas coast early on Monday; very heavy rain
and gusty winds expected to spread well inland through the next couple of
days...
...Extreme heat becomes less intense in California but continues in the
Desert Southwest and interior Pacific Northwest; more heat and humidity
for the Mid-Atlantic as well....
...Focus of severe thunderstorms and heavy rainfall in Oklahoma into this
evening will give way to heavy tropical downpours associated with Beryl
tracking up eastern Texas...
...Critical Fire Weather over portions of southern Utah...
After reorganizing over the western Gulf of Mexico, Tropical storm Beryl
is poised to regain hurricane strength as it begins to track more
northward toward the central Texas coastline. Heavy showers and
thunderstorms associated with the outer rainbands of Beryl have already
moved onshore into eastern Texas this Sunday afternoon. Additional
rainbands will likely impact much of coastal Texas with increasingly
squally conditions overnight as the core of Beryl approaches the central
Texas coast. The National Hurricane Center expects Beryl to re-intensify
into hurricane strength by this evening with the possibility for a period
of significant intensification as the center of Beryl nears the coast.
Residents in the affected areas should be ready to follow evacuation and
other instructions from local officials when prompted to do so. Following
landfall, Beryl is forecast to continue tracking northward across eastern
Texas on Monday with very heavy tropical downpours and squally conditions
spreading from south to north through Monday, along with a chance for
isolated tornadoes. Total rainfall amounts of 5 to 10 inches with
localized amounts of 15 inches are expected near and just east of the
track of Beryl through Monday night. Highest amounts are expected near
the coast. The heavy rainfall will likely produce areas of flash and urban
flooding, some of which may be locally considerable. Minor to isolated
moderate river flooding is also expected.
As Beryl tracks farther inland, it will come into increasing interaction
with an upper-level trough over the mid-section of the country and will
begin to lose tropical characteristics Monday night. The upper trough
will also turn Beryl toward the northeast across Arkansas on Tuesday as
Beryl becomes extratropical. Some gusty winds can be expected as
extratropical Beryl tracks across Arkansas toward the Mid-Mississippi
Valley on Tuesday. A period of heavy rain can also be expected just

Here is more ...
Intense heat is expected to persist for much of the West Coast into the
weekend...
...Oppressive heat and humidity along the Eastern Seaboard but cooler than
normal in the mid-section of the country...
...Severe thunderstorms and heavy rain possible for portions of the
Mid-Atlantic states on Saturday, then across the south-central Plains
Sunday into early Monday...
...Beryl is forecast to re-intensify over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico
on Saturday and threaten the western Gulf Coast of the U.S. through the
weekend...
A relatively slow-moving weather pattern is forecast across the U.S. as we
head into the weekend. This pattern, which features a strong ridge of
high pressure aloft in the western U.S. and a weaker ridge over the East
Coast, will sustain a heatwave for much of the West Coast states while
oppressive heat and humidity will continue along the Eastern Seaboard and
down into the Southeast and the Deep South. The most intense heat will be
found over the interior low-elevations of the West Coast and into the
Desert Southwest where high temperatures into the 110s will be common
across the Central Valley of California on Saturday. Widespread
temperature records are expected to be tied or broken. The only places
where relief from the heat can be found will be the cooling effects of the
Pacific Ocean near the coast and the naturally cooler higher elevations.
Locally higher temperatures into the 120s are possible in the typical hot
spots of the Desert Southwest. The triple-digit heat will expand
northward into the Pacific Northwest and parts of the central Great Basin,
with widespread highs reachng into the 90s and low 100s. The duration of
this heat is also concerning as these record-breaking temperatures are
forecast to linger into next week. Heat impacts can compound over time,
therefore it is important to remain weather aware and follow the advice of
local officials. Heat Watches and Warnings are in effect for much of the
West. This level of heat throughout parts of the Mojave Desert and
Sacramento/San Joaquin valleys of California could pose a risk to anyone
if proper heat safety is not followed. It is imperative to stay hydrated,
out of direct sunlight, and in buildings with sufficient air-conditioning
when possible. It is also equally as important to check on the safety of
vulnerable friends, family, and neighbors.
Last but not least, interests along the western Gulf Coast should pay
close attention to the future progress of Tropical Storm Beryl, currently
traversing the Yucatan Peninsula. Beryl is forecast to emerge into the
open waters of
Heat is expected to intensify and spread further up the West Coast much
of the West through this weekend with record-breaking temperatures...
...Oppressive heat and humidity across the South today will shift east
into the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast Friday and Saturday...
...Flash flooding and severe thunderstorms possible over parts of the
Midwest, and from the Southern Plains to the Ohio Valley through tonight...
...Beryl is forecast to re-intensify over the southwestern Gulf of Mexico
on Saturday and threaten southern Texas...
On this 4th of July, a significant and increasingly dangerous heatwave is
set to intensify along the West Coast as we head into the extended holiday
weekend. Widespread high temperatures well up into the 100s and 110s this
afternoon across the lower elevations in California will soar even higher
by Friday afternoon. Saturday will likely shape up to be the hottest day
in this heatwave when high temperatures into the 110s will be common
across California outside of the cooling effects of the Pacific Ocean near
the coast and the naturally cooler higher elevations. Numerous
record-breaking temperatures can be expected through the next few days.
Locally higher temperatures into the 120s are possible in the typical hot
spots of the Desert Southwest. The triple-digit heat will expand
northward into the Pacific Northwest and parts of the central Great Basin,
with widespread highs rising into the 90s and low 100s. The duration of
this heat is also concerning as scorching above average temperatures are
forecast to linger into next week. Heat impacts can compound over time,
therefore it is important to remain weather aware and follow the advice of
local officials. This level of heat throughout parts of the Mojave Desert
and Sacramento/San Joaquin valleys of California could pose a risk to
anyone if proper heat safety is not followed. It is imperative to stay
hydrated, out of direct sunlight, and in buildings with sufficient
air-conditioning when possible. It is also equally as important to check
on the safety of vulnerable friends, family, and neighbors.
Meanwhile, oppressive heat and humidity across the southern Plains and
lower Mississippi Valley today will begin to shift eastward to the
Mid-Atlantic and Southeast for the end of the week. High temperatures
rising into the upper 90s and low 100s are expected, with heat indices
soaring into the 110s across the lower Mississippi Valley. Warm overnight
conditions in the upper 70s and low 80s will offer little relief, leading
to a dangerous situation for those without access to adequate cooling. A
cold front entering the southern Plains is anticipated to offer cooler and
below average temperatures to Oklahoma, much of northern/western Texas,
and the Mid-South by Friday. Above average temperatures are then
anticipated to confine to the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic for the start of
the weekend, with afternoon highs into the mid-to-upper 90s. If planning
to spend an extended amount of time outdoors this Fourth of July, be sure
to use caution and act quickly if you see signs of heat-related illnesses.
Dangerous heatwave to impact much of the West, while oppressive heat
and humidity also swelter areas from the Southern Plains to the
Mid-Atlantic...
...Flash flooding and severe thunderstorms possible over the next few days
across portions of the Plains, Midwest, and Ohio Valley...
Record-breaking and dangerous heat is forecast to make this Fourth of July
week a scorcher across much of the West and from the southern Plains to
the Mid-Atlantic. Nearly 150 million residents are currently under
heat-related watches, warnings, and advisories throughout 21 states as of
this afternoon. An upper-level high situated just off the West Coast today
is forecast to strengthen and reorient directly over the western U.S. by
the end of the week. This pattern will support well above average
temperatures over California today before heat spreads further along the
West Coast by the end of the week. High temperatures are forecast to reach
into the 105-115F range throughout interior California away from the
immediate coastline, as well as into much of the Desert Southwest.
Afternoon temperatures will also begin to increase across much of Oregon
and Washington by Thursday and Friday, with widespread highs soaring into
the 90s. Dozens of record highs are possible, expressing the rarity of
this early-July heatwave. The duration of this heat is also concerning as
scorching above average temperatures are forecast to linger into next
week. Heat impacts can compound over time, therefore it is important to
remain weather aware and follow the advice of local officials. This level
of heat throughout the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys of California
could pose a risk to anyone if proper heat safety is not followed. This
includes staying hydrated, out of direct sunlight, and in buildings with
sufficient air-conditioning. It is also very important to check on the
safety of vulnerable friends, family, and neighbors.
Oppressive heat and humidity will also be found throughout the southern
Plains and lower Mississippi Valley into the Independence Day holiday
while also expanding eastward to the Mid-Atlantic for the end of the week.
High temperatures rising into the upper 90s and low 100s are expected,
with heat indices soaring into the 110s across the lower Mississippi
Valley. Warm overnight conditions in the upper 70s and low 80s will offer
little relief, leading to a dangerous situation for those without access
to adequate cooling. A cold front entering the southern Plains is
anticipated to offer cooler and below average temperatures to Oklahoma and
much of northern/western Texas by Friday.
An active and stormy weather pattern over the central U.S. is expected to
create chances for severe thunderstorms and heavy rainfall, which could
impact holiday gatherings this week. A developing area of low pressure
over the central High Plains forecast to progress into the upper Midwest
by Thursday along with a lingering frontal boundary stretching from the
lower Great Lakes to the central Plains are anticipated to be the triggers
for some meteorological fireworks. For this evening, the best chances for
scattered flash flooding due to thunderstorms capable of producing intense
rainfall rates is forecast between eastern Kansas and the Ohio Valley
along the aforementioned frontal boundary. Instances of severe weather
(mainly damaging wind gusts) are also possible, with chances for severe
storms also located in parts of the northern/central High Plains closer to
the developing low pressure system. By Independence Day, thunderstorm
chances span from the southern Plains/Rockies to the middle/upper
Mississippi Valley and also eastward to the Ohio Valley and Mid-Atlantic.
However, the greatest threat for strong to severe thunderstorms will be

Dangerously hot conditions will continue across the Southern Plains and
Lower Mississippi Valley, while simmering heat builds throughout
California's Central Valley starting Tuesday...
...Severe thunderstorms and heavy to Excessive Rainfall expected over
portions of the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest through Tuesday night...
July kicks off with anomalous and potentially dangerous heat impacting the
south-central U.S. and portions of the West Coast. As of this afternoon,
over 60 million residents are under heat-related watches, warnings, and
advisories. Upper-level troughing remains situated over the Northern
Rockies/Plains while ridging expands across the southern tier states. For
the Central U.S., high temperatures are forecast to soar into the upper
90s and low 100s across the southern Plains through midweek. When combined
with elevated humidity levels, heat indices are forecast to rise into the
110s across the Lower Mississippi Valley and Gulf Coast. Excessive Heat
Warnings and Heat Advisories currently span from Kansas to the Gulf Coast
States. After enjoying a refreshing start to the workweek, the Midwest and
East Coast can expect a gradual return to muggy summer warmth by Wednesday
as surface high pressure reorients itself off the East Coast and ushers in
southerly flow. Extreme heat building throughout the West Coast and more
specifically interior California this week will also be particularly
dangerous for those without effective cooling. High temperatures away from
the immediate coastline are forecast to reach into the 100-110F range,
which could break numerous daily records in the San Joaquin and Sacramento
Valleys on Tuesday and Wednesday. Excessive Heat Warnings, Watches, and
Heat Advisories go into effect as early as Tuesday and stretch from
southern Oregon to the low desert of southeast California. The duration of
this heat wave is concerning as the current forecast keeps scorching
conditions in place through at least the end of the week. This level of
heat could pose a danger to the public if proper heat safety is not
followed. This includes staying hydrated, out of direct sunlight, and in
properly air-conditioned buildings. Additionally, it is very important to
check on vulnerable friends, family, and neighbors to confirm their safety.
Additionally, a storm system exiting the Northern Rockies this morning is
anticipated to create some pre-Independence Day fireworks across the
Northern Plains and Midwest through Tuesday as the threat of heavy rain
and severe weather slides eastward with time. Severe thunderstorm chances
are centered over Nebraska South Dakota tonight, with neighboring st

Dangerously hot conditions will continue across the Southern Plains and
Lower Mississippi Valley, while simmering heat builds throughout
California's Central Valley starting Tuesday...
...Severe thunderstorm and heavy rain threat for the East Coast today; a
Moderate Risk for Excessive Rainfall has been posted for portions of the
Southeast coast for Monday...
...Showers and thunderstorms for the Four Corners/Southwest over the next
few days; active weather pattern to produce some pre-Independence Day
fireworks in the Northern Plains and Midwest...
As the calendar prepares to flip over to July today sweltering summer
heat will be one of the top stories in the days leading up to Independence
Day. To start the week, strong upper level high pressure over the South
will be responsible for heat indices that range between 105-110F (locally
up to 115F) through Tuesday from the Southern Plains on east to the Lower
Mississippi Valley. Much of these regions have Excessive Heat Warnings and
Heat Advisories that are in place through at least Monday. Meanwhile,
California and Desert Southwest will gradually heat up as another
impressive upper level ridge of high pressure builds in over the northeast
Pacific on Tuesday. Daily record highs may be challenged in parts of
central California and heat indices in the Golden State's Great Valley may
approach 105F. This approaching heat dome along the West Coast will likely
be a fixture for Californians and eventually for more residents along the
West Coast by Independence Day. On the flip side, following an
oppressively hot Sunday in the Northeast, the strong cold front
responsible for today's widespread shower and thunderstorm activity will
usher in a more refreshing air-mass tonight. High pressure over the Great
Lakes tomorrow is set to lock in pleasant weather across the northeastern
U.S. through Tuesday. The other regions likely to experience cooler than
normal temperatures the first couple days of July are the Northern Rockies
and northern Great Plains as northwesterly flow keeps any excessive heat
at bay in the short term.
In terms of active weather, the evening will remain quite busy along and
east of I-95 this evening from southern New England on south to the
Mid-Atlantic states. The severe threat will conclude for interior parts of
the Northeast this afternoon as the cold front races south and east. Some
thunderstorms could be severe this evening, particularly from North
Carolina to as far north as Maine where the Storm Prediction Center has a
Slight Risk (threat level 2/5) in place. The area most at risk for severe
weather is from the Delaware Valley to southern New England where

Steve Protherty ensures you're well-informed whether you’re flying across the country or planning a local barbecue. Tune in to start your week with the most comprehensive and up-to-date weather insights, and prepare for whatever Mother Nature has in store! Here are some details...
A cold front moving through the Great Lakes this evening will bring in
cooler and drier air to the region for Sunday, with showers and
thunderstorms out ahead of it over much of the Northeast, Ohio Valley, and
Mid-Atlantic. By Sunday, the front will push closer to the I-95 corridor,
focusing the chance for thunderstorms (some severe per the Storm
Prediction Center) toward the coast in the Northeast, but also into the
Mid-Atlantic and central/southern Appalachians. Isolated flash flooding is
possible in some areas that experience heavier rainfall in a short amount
of time. Farther south, the frontal boundary will slip into the Mid-South
and TN Valley, with scattered showers and thunderstorms on Sunday. Farther
west, tail-end of the same frontal boundary will help fire off mainly
afternoon showers and storms over the Four Corners region and across much
of the Rockies. Flash flooding is possible in some areas, especially in
more sensitive regions with steep terrain.
Over the northern Rockies, a system will bring an expanding area of rain
and thunderstorms tonight into Sunday, moving into eastern Montana where
some severe weather is possible. By late Sunday into Monday, potentially
heavier rainfall will push into the Upper Midwest/Corn Belt where Flash
Flooding will be possible over areas that have seen well above normal
rainfall recently. Isolated flash, urban, and small stream flooding along
with new and renewed river rises are possible per the National Water
Center.
Temperatures will be quite variable across the Lower 48 over the next two
days. Much of the northern tier -- from the northern Plains eastward to
the Great Lakes -- will see below normal temperatures on Sunday into
Monday with highs generally only in the 70s. Ahead of the front to the
east, warm/hot temperatures in the 80s/90s on Sunday near the East Coast
will be replaced by 70s/80s on Monday. The hottest temperatures will be
located over much of the southern Plains to the Southeast, as well as into
the Desert Southwest. Though daytime maximum temperatures may not break
daily records, overnight low temperatures will remain quite warm (only in
the 70s to around 80 degrees) due to high levels of humidity. This will be
reflected during the day by high heat indices in the low 100s. By Monday,
much of interior California will start to see temperatures near and over
100 degrees, as will parts of the central Plains.
Severe thunderstorms and flash flooding possible across portions of the
central Plains and Midwest today...
...Unsettled weather with the potential for heavy rain and strong storms
enter the Lower Great Lakes and Upper Ohio Valley on Saturday...
...Dangerously hot conditions will continue from parts of the southern
Plains to the Southeast this weekend...
A low pressure system is pushing across the northern and central Plains
this afternoon. The low pressure center is moving east along the
U.S.-Canada border with a trailing cold front extending south and west
from the Upper Mississippi Valley through the Central Plains and a warm
front lifting north across the Midwest ahead of the system. Conditions
will be favorable for scattered severe thunderstorms to develop through
this evening, and potential storm hazards may include large hail, damaging
winds, and a couple of tornadoes. Strong storms may also produce locally
heavy rainfall that could lead to instances of flash flooding,
particularly in areas where soils are saturated from recent heavy rains
and areas where training/repeating storms develop.
The low pressure system will track eastwards on Saturday, slowly moving
across the Upper Great Lakes region, with the trailing cold front
extending back through the Ohio and Middle Mississippi Valleys to the
central Plains and southern Rockies and with the leading warm front
lifting across the Mid-Atlantic into the Northeast. Shower and
thunderstorm chances will shift east with the system, and some storms may
become severe on Saturday. The main storm hazards will include scattered
damaging winds, a couple of tornadoes, and locally heavy downpours. Due to
the slow moving nature of the showers and storms, isolated to scattered
instances of flash flooding will be possible along the entire length of
the cold front.
On Sunday, the system will gain a bit more momentum, and the central low
will push into southeastern Canada while the trailing cold front moves
towards the East Coast. Meanwhile, another low pressure system will
develop over the Pacific Northwest/southern Canada, which will bring
precipitation chances back to the Pacific Northwest on Sunday that will
spread into the northern and central Plains on Monday.
Dangerous heat will continue to be a major weather story through the last
couple days of June as an upper level ridge strengthens over the
south-central U.S. and the Southeast. This will lead to above average
temperatures impacting areas from the central/southern Plains to the
Southeast, with summer heat also building across the Southwest and
northern High Plains by Sunday. High temperatures are forecast to reach
the upper 90s and low 100s in the southern Plains and Lower Mississippi
Valley today, where Excessive Heat Warnings and Heat Advisories are in
effect. Scattered afternoon thunderstorms may keep the sizzling heat at
bay across the Southeast, but highs into the mid-90s can still be expected
this weekend. If spending time outdoors be sure to follow proper heat
safety by taking frequent breaks, staying hydrated, and checking on
neighbors.
Severe thunderstorms and flash flooding expected across portions of the
northern/central Plains today and into the Midwest Friday...
...Dangerously hot conditions will continue for parts of the South and
Southeast...
...Monsoon-like conditions persist today in the Four Corners region...
A strong upper level trough is swinging across the Pacific Northwest today
and pushing a surface frontal system southeast across the Intermountain
West into the northern and central Plains. Conditions will be supportive
of severe thunderstorm development this afternoon and evening across the
Plains, and the Storm Prediction Center has highlighted portions of the
northern and central Plains with an Enhanced Risk (level 3/5) of severe
thunderstorms today. Potential severe storm hazards will include very
large hail, significant damaging winds, and a few tornadoes. Locally heavy
downpours may lead to scattered instances of flash flooding across
portions of the Plains, especially where soils are saturated from recent
heavy rains. The WPC Excessive Rainfall Outlook includes two Slight Risk
areas (level 2/4) in the northern and central Plains where flash flooding
will be most likely.
The Excessive Rainfall Outlook for today also highlights a Slight Risk
area (level 2/4) over the Four Corners region where persistent
monsoon-like rains are ongoing. Precipitation chances will decrease on
Friday for the Four Corners region as the frontal system approaches from
the north, but the front is forecast to stall and lift back northwards as
a warm front over the weekend. This will allow moisture to stream into the
Southwest ahead of the front, continuing rain chances in portions of
Arizona and New Mexico through the weekend.
The frontal system will push across much of the Central U.S. and lift a
warm front north across the Lower Mississippi Valley on Friday.
Precipitation chances will spread east as the system progresses, expanding
the severe thunderstorm and flash flooding threats into portions of the
Midwest. The Storm Prediction Center has a Slight Risk (level 2/5) of
severe thunderstorms from the central Plains towards the Middle/Upper
Mississippi Valley on Friday, and WPC has a Slight Risk (level 2/4) of
Excessive Rainfall for this area as well. Potential storm hazards will be
large hail, damaging winds, a couple tornadoes, and locally heavy rain.
This weekend, the broad frontal system will push into the eastern U.S.
while the back end lifts north across the Intermountain West.
Precipitation chances will extend from the Northeast down across the
Mid-Mississippi Valley to the central/southern Plains and Southwest. The
potential for severe weather will decrease as the upper level energy
becomes less organized, and the Storm Prediction Center has only a small
Slight Risk (level 2/5) of severe thunderstorms for much of Ohio and
western Pennsylvania. The risk for flash flooding will decrease as well,
and only isolated instances of flash flooding are anticipated along the
frontal system.
Temperature-wise, dangerously hot conditions will persist across parts of
the South and Southeast through the weekend. High temperatures near 100
degrees will be common across the southern Plains and Texas, and high
temperatures will likely reach above 90 degrees each day in much of the
Southeast. High humidity will make these temperatures feel even hotter,
and heat indices may reach as high as 105-110 degrees. Daily summertime
convection will bring some relief to the Southeast, but mainly dry
conditions are forecast across Texas through the weekend. Overnight lows
will also remain above average in the 70s and 80s, providing little relief
from the heat.
Monsoon-like conditions persist for the Four Corners Region...
...There is an Enhanced Risk of Severe Thunderstorms across portions of
the Northern/Central Plains on Thursday...
An upper-level trough will move into the Canadian Maritimes, while an
upper low glides across the Northwest and an upper ridge expands across
the southern tier of the country late this week. Scattered thunderstorm
activity is forecast to develop along a surface front extending from the
Northeast/Ohio Valley down to the Lower Mississippi Valley and back up
into the Great Plains. The Storm Prediction Center issued Slight Risks of
Severe Thunderstorms for portions of the; Ohio Valley, Northeast and
Mid-Atlantic; ArkLaTex and Lower Mississippi Valley; and the
Central/Southern High Plains tonight. Damaging winds will be the main
concern in the Northeast while hail and gusty/damaging winds may cause
issues in the High Plains. Some storms in the Ohio Valley could produce
high enough rain rates to generate flash flooding tonight. Thus, there's a
Slight Risk (at least 15%) of Excessive Rainfall for portions of the
favored terrain of the Central Appalachians, eastern Ohio, western
Pennsylvania and northwestern Ohio. Monsoonal moisture will continue
flowing into the Four Corners region tonight with mid-level energy aloft
enhancing potential for thunderstorms and heavy rainfall. There's a Slight
Risk (at least 15%) of Excessive Rainfall leading to Flash Flooding for
portions of northeastern Arizona and much of New Mexico, as a result.
The focus for Severe Weather and Flash Flooding shift into the Great
Plains and Mississippi Valley on Thursday. The once stationary front
draped over the Great Plains will turn warm and move into the Northern
Plains. A deepening surface low pressure system beneath a potent
upper-level low will promote scattered thunderstorm activity across the
Northern/Central Plains throughout the day. Storms should pick up in
intensity by Thursday afternoon/evening. SPC issued an Enhanced Risk
(level 3/5) of Severe Thunderstorms across portions of eastern Montana,
western Dakotas, northeastern Wyoming, western Nebraska and northeast
Colorado, where wind gusts exceeding 80 mph, large hail greater than 2.5
inches and a couple of tornadoes will be possible. There's isolated
potential for Excessive Rainfall over parts of the Northern Plains and
Lower Missouri Valley where Slight Risks are in effect. Monsoon conditions
are expected to continue over the Four Corners with a Slight Risk of
Excessive Rainfall in effect for portions of western Colorado down into
northwestern/central New Mexico. Some slow moving pieces of mid-level
energy will slowly make its way across the Carolina coast and promote
Severe Storm potential early Thursday evening.
Diffluent energy associated with the upper-level low moving through the
Northern Plains will help advance the strong surface low pressure system
into the Mississippi Valley on Friday. A rising warm front out of the
south will promote additional thunderstorm activity across the
Upper/Middle Mississippi Valley. Excessive Rainfall and Severe
Thunderstorm chances pick up over parts of the aforementioned areas Friday
evening. Temperatures remain below average across the South while below
average conditions expand over the Northern Plains behind the cold front
this weekend.
.Heat wave focus shifts to the Southeast, Mid-South, and
central/southern Plains into midweek...
...Severe storms and flash flooding possible for portions of the Upper
Midwest into Monday night, shifting a bit south Tuesday...
...Monsoon-like conditions persist for the Southwest/Four Corners Region...
A broad upper-level ridge building over the west-central U.S. will
continue to produce potentially hazardous heat over the next few days.
Forecast high temperatures will continue to soar into the upper 90s across
much of the Plains and Mississippi Valley and into southeastern parts of
the Lower 48, with low 100s possible over the central Plains. When
combined with the humidity, heat index values may reach as high as 110,
prompting Heat Advisories and some embedded Excessive Heat Warnings.
Meanwhile, low temperatures will mostly remain in the mid- to upper 70s,
bringing little relief from the heat overnight. The arrival of this more
intense heat early in the Summer season leads to a higher level of
heat-related stress, especially for those outdoors and without reliable
air conditioning available. While the north-central U.S. can expect some
relief from the heat Tuesday and especially Wednesday behind a cold front,
the Southern Plains to Mid-South to Southeast will maintain potentially
dangerously hot conditions through the period, with a brief period of heat
returning to the Middle Mississippi/Ohio Valleys on Tuesday and
Mid-Atlantic on Wednesday.
To the north, an upper-level shortwave and accompanying surface frontal
system will move along the northern tier of the central U.S. towards the
Upper Midwest. Deep moisture flowing northward ahead of the system will
bring increasing storm chances through tonight. Hot temperatures along
with the plentiful moisture will lead to strong to extreme instability,
prompting an Enhanced Risk of severe weather (level 3/5) from the Storm
Prediction Center. Tornadoes and large hail are possible with the storms,
but the primary threat is a corridor of very high wind across southern
Wisconsin and surrounding states. Additionally, a Marginal to Slight Risk
of excessive rainfall causing flash flooding is in place for portions of
the Upper Midwest with locally heavy downpours. The low system will
continue eastward on Tuesday, with a cold front pushing southeastward into
the Midwest/Great Lakes region. Storms developing along and ahead of the
front could tend to repeat over the same areas as storm motions become
more parallel to the increasingly east-to-westward oriented front. This is
prompting a larger Slight Risk of flash flooding for portions of the
Middle Mississippi Valley with a Slight Risk of severe weather aligned in
a similar area for Tuesday into Tuesday night. By Wednesday, the
southeastward progression of the front will produce thunderstorm chances
from the Lower/Middle Mississippi Valley into the Tennessee and Ohio
Valley to the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast.
Heat wave focus shifts to the Southeast, Mid-South, and
central/southern Plains into midweek...
...Severe storms and flash flooding possible for portions of the Upper
Midwest into Monday night, shifting a bit south Tuesday...
...Monsoon-like conditions persist for the Southwest/Four Corners Region...
A broad upper-level ridge building over the west-central U.S. will
continue to produce potentially hazardous heat over the next few days.
Forecast high temperatures will continue to soar into the upper 90s across
much of the Plains and Mississippi Valley and into southeastern parts of
the Lower 48, with low 100s possible over the central Plains. When
combined with the humidity, heat index values may reach as high as 110,
prompting Heat Advisories and some embedded Excessive Heat Warnings.
Meanwhile, low temperatures will mostly remain in the mid- to upper 70s,
bringing little relief from the heat overnight. The arrival of this more
intense heat early in the Summer season leads to a higher level of
heat-related stress, especially for those outdoors and without reliable
air conditioning available. While the north-central U.S. can expect some
relief from the heat Tuesday and especially Wednesday behind a cold front,
the Southern Plains to Mid-South to Southeast will maintain potentially
dangerously hot conditions through the period, with a brief period of heat
returning to the Middle Mississippi/Ohio Valleys on Tuesday and
Mid-Atlantic on Wednesday.
To the north, an upper-level shortwave and accompanying surface frontal
system will move along the northern tier of the central U.S. towards the
Upper Midwest. Deep moisture flowing northward ahead of the system will
bring increasing storm chances through tonight. Hot temperatures along
with the plentiful moisture will lead to strong to extreme instability,
prompting an Enhanced Risk of severe weather (level 3/5) from the Storm
Prediction Center. Tornadoes and large hail are possible with the storms,
but the primary threat is a corridor of very high wind across southern
Wisconsin and surrounding states. Additionally, a Marginal to Slight Risk
of excessive rainfall causing flash flooding is in place for portions of
the Upper Midwest with locally heavy downpours. The low system will
continue eastward on Tuesday, with a cold front pushing southeastward into
the Midwest/Great Lakes region. Storms developing along and ahead of the
front could tend to repeat over the same areas as storm motions become
more parallel to the increasingly east-to-westward oriented front. This is
prompting a larger Slight Risk of flash flooding for portions of the
Middle Mississippi Valley with a Slight Risk of severe weather aligned in
a similar area for Tuesday into Tuesday night. By Wednesday, the
southeastward progression of the front will produce thunderstorm chances
from the Lower/Middle Mississippi Valley into the Tennessee and Ohio
Valley to the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast.
Heat wave focus shifts from the Mid-Atlantic to portions of the
Southeast/Southern Plains by Monday...
...There's a Slight Risk of Severe Thunderstorms over portions of the
Northern High Plains...
...Severe storms for portions of the Upper Midwest on Monday...
...Monsoon-like conditions persist for the Southwest...
A broad and well entrenched upper ridge centered over the Southern High
Plains/Southwest will eject shortwave energy across the northern tier
states through the early work week. A low pressure system will slide
across the Northeast and potentially into the Canadian maritimes tonight.
Scattered to isolated showers and thunderstorms will focus around an
attendant cold front propagating through much of the Northeast and
northern Mid-Atlantic coast. Remnant moisture from Tropical Cyclone
Alberto, will bring early monsoon-like conditions to the Southwest and
Four Corners region over the next few days. Scattered to isolated showers
and thunderstorms will occur with some instances of flash flooding
possible, particularly over slot canyons and favorable terrain. There's a
Slight Risk (at least 15%) of Excessive Rainfall leading to Flash Flooding
over portions of southeastern Arizona on Monday with Marginal Risks (at
least 5%) persisting through mid-week.
Elsewhere, shortwave energy propagating across southern-central Canada and
the northern tier CONUS will influence more thunderstorm activity over the
Upper Midwest/Great Lakes beginning Monday afternoon. There's a Slight
Risk of Severe Thunderstorms (level 2/5) over parts of the Upper Midwest
late Monday afternoon. Severe/destructive wind gusts are possible for
parts of Minnesota into Wisconsin. A cold front at the surface will act as
a focus for showers and thunderstorms across portions of the Middle
Mississippi Valley and Midwest on Tuesday. There's a Slight Risk of Severe
Thunderstorms for parts of Iowa/northern Missouri into northern Illinois,
southern Wisconsin, southwest Lower Michigan, northern Indiana and
northwestern Ohio. There's potential for an MCS to move across parts of
Wisconsin/Michigan into northern Illinois/Indiana Tuesday morning, the
outflows of which should set the stage for afternoon evening convection to
take place after diurnal heating occurs. There's also a targeted Slight
Risk of Excessive Rainfall over parts of eastern Iowa, southern Wisconsin
and northern Illinois, where storms yielding high rain rates could cause
flash flooding.
A mid-level trough moving off into the Atlantic will promote widespread
record warm low temperatures across the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic Coast
tonight. Lows in the 70s will be of particular concern to those without
adequate cooling or hydration. Heat Advisories are in effect for much of
the aforementioned areas. Upper ridging centered over the Southern High
Plains will produce warmer than average temperatures across the West and
Central U.S. this week. Troughing over the northern tier will keep
temperatures at or below average for parts of the Upper Midwest/Great
Lakes.
Heat wave focus shifts from the Midwest/Ohio Valley into the
Mid-Atlantic states this weekend...
...Excessive Rainfall and Severe Weather concerns across the Upper Great
Lakes/Mississippi Valley tonight followed by New England Sunday...
...Heat expands from West into Plains early next week, monsoon-like
conditions for the Desert Southwest...
A heat wave will continue over much of the eastern U.S. south of a
quasi-stationary boundary and under the influence of longwave ridging
aloft this weekend. Forecast low temperatures Saturday will generally be
in the mid- to upper 70s from the central/southern Plains to the East
Coast. These temperatures remain the most anomalous and dangerous for
early Summer over portions of the Midwest/Ohio Valley east to the
Mid-Atlantic. A potent upper-level shortwave will help to finally push the
boundary southward Sunday, bringing welcome relief to much of the
Midwest/Ohio Valley, while the Mid-Atlantic continues to simmer. Numerous
record-tying/breaking highs are possible. In addition, overnight low
temperatures will remain to the mid- and even upper 70s, providing little
relief from the heat overnight. The combination of this heat coming early
in the Summer season and persisting over several days increases the level
of heat stress for those without reliable air conditioning.
Widespread showers and thunderstorms will continue to the north along the
quasi-stationary boundary draped from New England west through the Great
Lakes and into the Upper Mississippi Valley. Plentiful moisture will
increase the chance for locally heavy downpours. The highest chance for
potentially significant heavy rainfall will be along the boundary ahead of
an upper-level wave over portions of the Upper Great Lakes/Upper
Mississippi Valley tonight. Ongoing organized storms from overnight Friday
as well as the risk for more widespread, organized storms into the day
Saturday has prompted a Moderate Risk of Excessive Rainfall (level 3/4)
over southern Wisconsin and northeastern Iowa for the threat of scattered
to numerous instances of flash flooding. A broader Slight Risk (level 2/4)
covers the region. In addition, a few storms may be severe, with a Slight
Risk of severe weather (level 2/5) issued by the Storm Prediction Center
for the threat of some damaging winds and a few tornadoes. A locally
higher threat for heavier downpours will also exist over southern New
England, with a Slight Risk in place. The noted more potent upper-level
shortwave arriving Sunday will help to push the boundary south and
eastward, bringing higher storm chances more broadly across New England
and southwestward though the Mid-Atlantic/Ohio Valley/Tennessee Valley.
Stronger, very moist low-level flow interacting with the boundary over
northern New England will bring the greatest chance for heavy downpours
and scattered flash flooding, with another Slight Risk in place. SPC
upgraded their Slight Risk to an Enhanced Risk over parts of central New
England/much of New Hampshire and Vermont, where damaging winds and a few
tornadoes will once again be the main threats.
Upper-level ridging will begin to build over the western and then central
U.S. following the shortwave passage, bringing rising temperatures across
this region as well. The focus over the northern tier will begin to shift
eastward with the ridge on Sunday, with cooler highs in the Pacific
Northwest but temperatures soaring into the mid- and upper 90s over much
of the central/northern High Plains. Conditions will remain hot from
central to southern California. Temperatures will still be hot but closer
to average for the Desert Southwest as Monsoon-like conditions remain over
the region. Highs on Sunday and Monday will range in the mid- to upper
100s, wi
Record hot temperatures over portions of the Midwest/Ohio Valley & the
Mid-Atlantic states this weekend...
...Heavy rain and flash flooding concerns across the Upper Midwest Friday
night and Great Lakes Saturday...
...Monsoon-like conditions for this Southwest this weekend into
Monday...Heat building across the West...
A heat wave should continue for portions of the Midwest/Ohio Valley and
the Mid-Atlantic States, to the south of a stationary front. Forecast high
temperatures will rise into the upper 90s/near 100 Saturday in the
Mid-Atlantic, with record-tying/breaking temperatures possible.
Heat-related Advisories and Warnings are in place as these temperatures,
when combined with the humidity, will bring heat index values into the
100-105 degree range, with values as high as 110 possible through the
southern Mid-Atlantic on Saturday. Additionally, overnight low
temperatures will remain in the mid-70s for many locations, at potential
record-tying/breaking levels, providing little relief from the heat. The
early arrival of this heat in the Summer season, persistence over multiple
days, and abundant sunshine will aggravate heat stress on those without
reliable air conditioning. Temperatures more broadly from the East Coast
to the central/southern Plains will be in the mid-90s this weekend.
Meanwhile, relief continues to the north of a frontal boundary draped
though southern New England, with highs now mostly in the 70s and low 80s.
Isolated to scattered excessive rainfall/flash flooding is possible near
the stalled frontal boundary.
The greatest threat for significant heavy rainfall will be ahead of a
surface wave over portions of the Upper Midwest as thunderstorm complexes
late on Friday unleash their potential. A Moderate Risk of Excessive
rainfall (level 3/4) is in effect, from southeast South Dakota to in and
near the Minnesota/Iowa border, where the highest potential for heavy
rainfall/significant flash flooding exists. Moderate to major river
flooding is also forecast to worsen. Additional scattered instances of
flash flooding will be possible more broadly across the Upper Midwest. An
upper-level shortwave approaching from the west will help to deepen the
frontal wave and push the system eastward on Saturday, bringing the threat
for heavy rainfall/flash flooding to portions of the Great Lakes
southwestward into the Upper Mississippi Valley as an organized complex of
storms is expected to follow the system eastward. Some severe
thunderstorms will again be possible with a Slight Risk in place mainly
for the threat of damaging winds. As the system pushes into New England
on Sunday, it brings an elevated risk of flash flooding to the region.
Heavy rain and flash flooding concerns across the northern Plains to
the upper Midwest...
...Focus for record hot temperatures will shift into the Mid-Atlantic by
Saturday...
...Heat building over much of the West...
Tropical Storm Alberto made landfall in Mexico this morning and continues
to spiral rainfall into South Texas, which will slowly diminish into
Friday. Some of the tropical moisture from Alberto will be drawn northward
and energize the scattered showers and thunderstorms from the southern
High Plains to the Four Corners heading into the weekend. These
showers/storms will be more numerous during the late afternoon to early
evening hours in these areas, and there is a Slight Risk of excessive
rainfall in this area late this afternoon and again on Friday. Meanwhile,
the National Hurricane Center continues to monitor the potential of
tropical cyclone formation over the western Atlantic near the Bahamas as a
tropical wave moves west-northwestward in the general direction of
northeastern Florida and coastal Georgia. Locally modest rainfall with
some breezy winds may affect this region later tonight through Friday.
Across the northern Plains to the upper Midwest, rainfall will increase
over the area through Friday to the north of a frontal boundary. Rounds of
rain, heavy at times, over already saturated soils will increase the
threat for flash flooding. A Moderate risk of excessive rainfall has been
highlighted for eastern South Dakota into southern Minnesota through
Saturday morning. Farther east, scattered thunderstorms are likely across
the Great Lakes region and the Northeast near and north of the eastern
extent of the front. Some severe thunderstorms are also possible per the
Storm Prediction Center.
The heat will continue to set records in parts of the Northeast with a
shift into the Mid-Atlantic this weekend. Afternoon high temperatures and
warm overnight lows will challenge and exceed daily records for many
locations in the Ohio Valley eastward. Heat index readings are expected to
peak from 100 to 105 degrees in many locations, and Heat Advisories are in
effect from Ohio to New Jersey. Those without access to reliable air
conditioning are urged to find a way to cool down as very warm overnight
temperatures (only in the 70s) will prevent natural cooling and allow the
heat danger to build over time indoors without air conditioning.
Temperatures may be lower and less hazardous at the coast if/where sea
breezes form. On Friday, cooler air will filter into northern New England
behind a slowly-moving cold front, but temperatures south of the boundary
will soar into the middle/upper 90s Friday and especially Saturday. These
temperatures may be the highest observed in several years for some
locations. In much of the West (West Coast and Great Basin/Desert
Southwest), temperatures will continue to heat up each day with 90s and
100s quite prevalent by Saturday. Some daily record highs may be
challenged in Northern California into Oregon.
Heavy rain/flooding and gusty winds will continue at least through this
evening in South Texas associated with Tropical Storm Alberto...
...Heavy rain and flash flooding concerns increase for the north-central
U.S. later Thursday into Friday...
...A heat wave will persist over the Great Lakes, Ohio Valley, and the
Northeast into late week...
Tropical Storm Alberto has formed in the far western Gulf of Mexico and is
forecast to make landfall in Mexico around Thursday morning. Alberto will
have impacts extending into southern Texas north of its center of
circulation, including tropical-storm-force winds and storm surge
continuing through tonight and heavy rain/flooding concerns. These hazards
are likely to be enhanced by surface troughing near the Gulf Coast that
focuses the ample tropical moisture. Rainfall amounts of 5 to 10 inches
are expected into South Texas, which could produce considerable flash and
urban flooding along with new and renewed river flooding. Thus a Moderate
Risk is in place in the Excessive Rainfall Outlook through tonight, with a
Slight Risk in place for Thursday for South Texas. While Alberto should
weaken rapidly over the higher terrain of Mexico on Thursday and reduce
winds, the tropical moisture will stream north and trigger showers and
thunderstorms across the southern High Plains and Four Corners region on
Thursday and Friday, where Marginal to Slight Risks of excessive rainfall
are highlighted. Meanwhile over the western Atlantic, moisture associated
with a tropical wave could reach northeastern Florida and coastal Georgia
Thursday night to Friday morning.
Though the north-central U.S. is seeing a relative break in heavy rainfall
today behind a cold front, renewed support for thunderstorms with heavy
rain is likely there Thursday into Friday. Upper-level energy and the
front stalling and drifting north will reinvigorate storms in central to
northern parts of the Plains and Mississippi Valley into the Midwest.
Moderate Risks of excessive rainfall have been introduced for eastern
South Dakota into parts of Minnesota and western Wisconsin on Thursday
into Friday, meaning numerous flash floods are likely. Antecedent
conditions there are wet because of previous rainfall, so this contributes
to flooding concerns. Farther east, scattered thunderstorms are likely
across the Great Lakes region and Northeast. Marginal to Slight Risks are
delineated each day from the Storm Prediction Center (mainly for the
threat of severe wind but with some low chances for hail), and Marginal
Risks of excessive rainfall are in place as well.
All these rain and thunderstorm areas are taking place along the periphery
of an upper ridge/heat dome that edges from the Mid-Atlantic into the
Mid-South over the next couple of days, producing a record-breaking heat
wave across the Great Lakes, Northeast, and Mid-Atlantic. Afternoon high
temperatures and warm overnight lows will challenge daily records and even
some monthly and all-time records. Heat index readings are expected to
peak from 100 to 105 degrees in many locations. Those without access to
reliable air conditioning are urged to find a way to cool down. Record
warm overnight temperatures will prevent natural cooling and allow the
heat danger to build over time indoors without air conditioning.
Temperatures may be lower and less hazardous closer to the coast if/where
sea breezes form. By Friday, conditions should improve over New England
behind a cold front, but temperatures well into the 90s and higher heat
indices are forecast to continue across the Ohio Valley to Mid-Atlantic.
Meanwhile, cooler than average highs are likely into the southern High
Plains with the clouds and rain forecast, but temperatures over the West
will gradua
Significant heavy rain/flash flooding threat with gusty winds well
ahead of Potential T.C. One expected to impact southern Texas on
Wednesday...
...Severe Thunderstorms and Excessive Rainfall possible over portions of
the Great Plains and Upper/Middle Mississippi Valley tonight...
...A heat wave will persist over the Great Lakes, Ohio Valley and the
Northeast through midweek...
Potential T.C. One will likely strengthen while it slowly approaches
Mexico's northeast coast tonight. This system carries with it; coastal
flooding, wind impacts, and a significant plume of tropical moisture,
which it is poised to transport into the central Gulf Coast down to
northeastern Mexico over the next couple of days. There's a Moderate Risk
(at least 40%) of Excessive Rainfall leading to Flash Flooding from the
Louisiana-Texas coast down to just north of Corpus Christi, Texas where
the heaviest axis of precipitation is likely to occur tonight. A broader
Slight Risk (at least 15%) of Excessive Rainfall is also in place from the
central Louisiana Gulf Coast down to southern Texas. PTC One is then
forecast to strengthen into a Tropical Storm Wednesday afternoon before
making landfall over northeastern Mexico that evening. Tropical moisture
will likely continue to flow into southern Texas and the Rio Grande Valley
where yet another Moderate Risk of Excessive Rainfall is in effect. T.S.
One will quickly weaken upon landfall Wednesday night before eventually
diminishing Thursday evening. Additional heavy rainfall may certainly
continue over the Rio Grande Valley and south Texas on Thursday before
rainfall rates drop and conditions improve. All in all, Potential Tropical
Cyclone One is currently forecast to produce rainfall totals of 5 to 10
inches from northeast Mexico to south Texas, with maximum totals of 15
inches possible.
A line of thunderstorms will develop out ahead of a cold front sweeping
across the Plains this afternoon. The Storm Prediction Center issued a
Slight Risk of Severe Thunderstorms from parts of the Upper Mississippi
Valley into the Mid Missouri Valley/Central Plains and Southern High
Plains where scattered to severe storms are expected to produce large hail
and severe/damaging winds. A few tornadoes may also occur. Rainfall rates
within some of these storms to support Excessive Rainfall, which is why
there is currently a Slight Risk in effect from the Upper Midwest down to
the Central Plains.
Meanwhile, a heat wave continues to impact much of the Ohio Valley, Great
Lakes, Northeast and Mid-Atlantic this week. Widespread daily records are
likely for afternoon high temperatures and warm overnight lows, with some
monthly records possible. Heat index readings are expected to peak from
100 to 105 degrees in many locations. Those without access to reliable air
conditioning are urged to find a way to cool down. Record warm overnight
temperatures will prevent natural cooling and allow the heat danger to
build over time indoors without air conditioning. Conditions improve
slightly this weekend.
A heat wave begins to settle in over the Great Lakes, Ohio Valley and
the Northeast today, continuing through midweek...
Significant heavy rain/flash flooding threat for the Texas Gulf Coast
later Tuesday and especially Wednesday associated with Potential T.C.
One.
Heavy rain and severe thunderstorms possible Tuesday/Wednesday from the
Upper Midwest into the Central Plains...
Late-season wet snow will persist across the high-elevations of the
northern Rockies for the next couple of days...
An active week is in store across the U.S. as a heat wave builds over the
Great Lakes/Ohio Valley/Northeast, multiple areas of flash flooding and
severe weather impact the central U.S., and even some late season snow
continues in the northern Rockies. A strong upper-level high will continue
to build in over the Great Lakes/Northeast, bringing the first significant
heat wave of the season to the region. Forecast highs Tuesday and
Wednesday will reach into the mid- to upper 90s, even well into northern
New England. Widespread, numerous record-tying/breaking high temperatures
are possible. Additionally, morning lows will remain in about the mid-70s,
at record-tying/breaking levels, providing little relief from the heat
overnight. The early arrival of this magnitude of heat, the duration,
abundant sunshine, and lack of relief overnight will increase the danger
of this heatwave beyond what the exact temperature values would suggest.
This is especially true for those without adequate air conditioning, which
becomes more of a concern for locations further north that are not as
accustomed to periods of persistent, intense heat.
Further north, additional rounds of showers and thunderstorms are expected
as the influx of moisture continues to interact with a wavy frontal
boundary draped across portions of the northern/central Plains and Upper
Midwest. A broad area of showers and thunderstorms will continue through
Monday evening along and ahead of the front as it slowly lifts northward.
A Slight Risk of Excessive Rainfall is in effect over portions of the
northern Plains/Upper Midwest where the available moisture, as well as
impressive upper-level dynamics associated with an approaching trough, may
lead to some heavier rain rates (2" per hour) and scattered flash
flooding, especially in urban areas. A Slight Risk of severe weather
(level 2/5) is also in effect from the Storm Prediction Center, spreading
further westward into the northern/central High Plains, for some large
hail, damaging winds, and a few tornadoes. The front will begin to push
back southeastward as a cold front Tuesday ahead of the approaching trough
before stalling out through the Middle Mississippi/Missouri Valleys ahead
of the eastern ridge by Tuesday night.
To the west, the unseasonably strong upper-level system will also continue
to bring an intrusion of much cooler, below average air into portions of
the northern/central Plains/Rockies and Great Basin. Forecast highs on
Tuesday will be in the 50s and 60s in the northern Rockies/High Plains,
with some low 70s into the Great Basin. In addition, forecast morning lows
on Tuesday in the low to mid-30s throughout much of the Great Basin have
prompted Frost/Freeze-related Warnings and Advisories. Temperatures should
recover a bit Wednesday for the Great Basin and northern Rockies while
portions of the central Plains drop into the 60s following the cold front
passage. Areal showers and thunderstorms with some moderate rainfall will
also linger over the northern Rockies/High Plains Monday evening and into
the day Tuesday before tapering off by later Tuesday night. Winter-weather
related Warnings and Advisories remain in effect as moderate to heavy snow
continues for higher mountain elevations. While most of the accumu
Flash flooding possible for parts of the Upper Midwest, along with
severe weather...
Burgeoning heat wave for the Great Lakes into the Ohio Valley and
Northeast starting Monday and continuing through the week...
Heavy rain and flash flooding possible for the central and northwest
Gulf Coast through Tuesday...
Late-season wet snow for the northern Rockies Monday and Tuesday...
A very active pattern is in store for the Lower 48 this week which will
feature a variety of weather hazards:
Heavy rain and flash flooding: two areas are noted for the potential
for flash flooding/heavy rain along with severe weather. The first over
the Upper Midwest as multiple rounds of heavy rain push through the
Dakotas into Minnesota, where there is a Moderate Risk of excessive
rainfall (central MN) and a Slight Risk of severe weather (per SPC) on
Monday (Nebraska northward to MN). The second will be near the Gulf of
Mexico. Tropical moisture will surge northward and westward from southern
Louisiana westward into Texas through Tuesday (and into Wednesday),
including in and around the Houston metro area. In addition, the National
Hurricane Center is monitoring the southwestern Gulf of Mexico for
possible future tropical development over the next few days.
Rising temperatures over the northeastern 1/4 of the CONUS will
approach and exceed record highs (including record warm overnight lows)
over the Midwest/Great Lakes into the Northeast Mon/Tue (and beyond). High
temperatures will climb well into the 90s for many areas, with upper 90s
possible in the lower elevations in the East on Tuesday. Overnight lows
may only drop into the upper 60s to mid 70s, offering little relief from
the heat. The experimental HeatRisk outlooks shows Major to Extreme levels
for many areas, owing to the duration of the upcoming heat wave. This is
in stark contrast to the record cool temperatures Sunday morning over
parts of the Northeast.
Cool and snowy conditions will be impacting parts of the Northern
Rockies over the next couple of days as a broader upper trough moves
through the West. Temperatures will be well below normal for mid-June, and
even near record cold for the date. The snow will be limited to higher
elevations in Montana (especially above 7000ft), but accumulating snow is
likely even down to 5000ft or so. This heavy and wet snow may cause some
tree damage and power outages, and will likely make travel difficult
across some of the passes.
Hot/dry/breezy conditions over parts of the Southwest will result in a
high fire danger over the next day or so, especially over northeastern
Arizona, southeastern Utah, and into western New Mexico. Critical fire
conditions are forecast for these regions per SPC, with a broader Elevated
risk for much of the Four Corners and even into the Sacramento/San Joaquin
Valley on Monday.

as well as severe thunderstorms, expected in the north-central U.S....
Late-season wet snow for the northern Rockies beginning on Monday...
.A heat wave will quickly spread from the Plains Sunday into the Great
Lakes/Upper Ohio Valley on Monday
A plume of tropical moisture will bring the threat for heavy downpours
and flash flooding to the central Gulf Coast...
Some severe storms will be possible Saturday evening ahead of the cold front over the northern High Plains where the Storm Prediction Center has outlined a Slight Risk
(level 2/5) for the threat of very large hail, significant damaging winds,
& a few tornadoes. The front will progress southeastward through the day
Sunday before stalling out Sunday evening, with the next round of storms
expected along an axis from the Upper Mississippi Valley southwestward
into the Upper Missouri Valley. A Slight Risk of Excessive Rainfall is in
effect as clustering of storms with repetitive motions along the stalling
front with abundant moisture available will lead to heavy rainfall
rates/totals & the risk for flash flooding. A Slight Risk of severe
weather is also in place for the threat of some large hail. Lee
cyclogenesis over the central High Plains ahead of another upper-level
wave over the West will bring strengthening southerly flow, with the
stalled front expected to begin slowly lifting back to the north as a warm
front through the Upper Mississippi Valley on Monday. A Moderate Risk of
Excessive Rainfall (level 3/4) has been introduced as
clustering/slow-moving storms along the boundary as well as still abundant
moisture & impressive upper-level dynamics will promote more widespread,
intense downpours & potentially numerous, significant incidents of flash
flooding. This risk will continue into Monday evening/night, just beyond
the current forecast period. A Slight Risk for the threat of some large
hail & damaging winds is also in place.
Another impact from this unseasonably strong series of upper-level systems
for mid-June will be much colder air sweeping southward to the west of the
cold front, particularly into the northern Rockies. High temperatures will
be mostly in the 60s Sunday from the Pacific Northwest east through the
northern Great Basin & into the northern Rockies. These cooler
temperatures will spread further southward in the Great Basin & into the
northern Plains by Monday. Highs for the mountain valleys of the northern
Rockies will only be in the 40s & 50s. Precipitation chances will also
pick up here Monday, with a Winter Storm Watch in effect for the potential
of several inches of snow at higher mountain elevations. While a mostly
cold rain is expected at lower elevations, a few of the higher mountain
valleys may see some snow mix in.
To the south, an impressive flow of moisture from the Caribbean on the
western side of the ridge will stream into the central Gulf Coast over the
next couple of days.
Scattered severe thunderstorms and locally heavy rain possible across
the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and parts of the Central Plains through this
evening...
...Severe weather and flash flood risks shift to the Northern Plains and
Upper Midwest this weekend...
...Above average summer heat continues across much of the Southern Tier
before expanding into the Midwest by Sunday...
A summer weather pattern ripe for mid-June is expected through this
weekend across CONUS, with scattered areas at risk for strong
thunderstorms and building heat across the southern and middle sections of
the country. After a few days of drenching rain throughout the central and
southern Florida Peninsula, lingering showers and storms could spawn
scattered instances of renewed flooding across far southern Florida
tonight before rain chances diminish this weekend. This same plume of
tropical moisture is forecast to slide toward the central Gulf Coast on
Sunday and could lead to areas of heavy rain throughout southern Louisiana
and Mississippi. Meanwhile, a cold front progressing across the Northeast
and Mid-Atlantic this afternoon has led to showers and thunderstorms that
could contain intense rainfall rates and gusty winds. A few of these
storms could turn severe through this evening as the cold front eventually
pushes offshore by early Saturday. Following this cold front, a
refreshingly dry airmass in place should lead to beautiful weather this
Father's Day weekend throughout the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, and Ohio
Valley.
A developing storm system over the north-central U.S. will lead to active
and stormy weather extending from the Northern/Central Plains to the Upper
Great Lakes. The first round of showers and storms associated with a
leading system is forecast to spark thunderstorm activity across the
Central High Plains late this afternoon through the overnight period. A
few storms could contain large hail, damaging wind gusts, and intense
rainfall rates capable of leading to flash flooding. After weakening
overnight, these showers could push into the Upper Midwest by Saturday,
with redeveloping storms extending from the central Plains to the Middle
Missouri Valley. Multiple rounds of heavy rain could lead to areas of
flash flooding between eastern Nebraska and northern Wisconsin.
Additionally, the trailing and stronger system organizing over the
Northern Plains on Saturday will help produce strong to severe
thunderstorms across parts of eastern Montana and North Dakota. By the end
of the weekend a frontal boundary is expected to bisect the Upper Midwest
and Northern Plains, creating a focus for additional rounds of showers and
storms.
The other main weather story this weekend will be the simmering heat
impacting areas from the Southwest to the Gulf Coast and Southeast. Highs
are forecast to reach the triple digits throughout much of the Desert
Southwest, with upper 90s stretching from the Southeast to parts of the
Southern Plains. Above average temperatures are also forecast across the
central Great Basin and northern Plains ahead of a cold front, with well
below average temperatures encompassing the Pacific Northwest. By Sunday,
an upper level ridge is anticipated to begin building across the Eastern
U.S., with anomalous heat starting in much of the Midwest, Central Plains,
and Tennessee Valley. Highs are forecast to reach the upper 90s, with
maximum heat indices near 105 degrees. When combined with warm overnight
lows, major heat risk could affect anyone without effective cooling and/or
adequate hydration. Be sure to remain weather aware and follow proper heat
safety!
There is a High Risk of Excessive Rainfall leading to Flash Flooding
over parts of southern Florida for tonight...

High Plains as well as portions of the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic on
Friday...
...There are Excessive Heat Warnings/Watches and Advisories over Southern
California, Southwest, Central Plains, and Southern High Plains...
In Florida, ongoing rounds of thunderstorm activity are expected to
continue through Friday before subsiding just in time for the weekend. A
quasi-stationary surface front and upper trough axis swinging through the
Gulf of Mexico/Southeast U.S. will continue focusing tropical moisture
across the Florida peninsula over the next couple of days. Intense
thunderstorms will occur tonight, when storms will bring several more
inches of rainfall, in some cases, over the very saturated and vulnerable
soils/surfaces and urban areas of southern Florida. There is now a High
Risk (at least 70%) of Excessive Rainfall leading to Flash Flooding over
parts of southern Florida, particularly along the I-75 corridor from
Naples to Fort Lauderdale and down to Miami. There remains a Slight Risk
(at least 15%) of Excessive Rainfall across the central-southern peninsula
through Friday, with a Marginal Risk (at least 5%) in place through
Saturday when conditions are likely to improve.
A closed mid-level low will degrade into an open shortwave trough while it
swings through the Southwest and Rockies this weekend. This shortwave
feature will promote thunderstorm activity across the High Plains
beginning Friday afternoon and continuing into the evening. The Storm
Prediction Center issued a Slight Risk of Severe Thunderstorms (level 2/5)
over parts of eastern Colorado, southwestern Nebraska and eastern Kansas.
Scattered severe storms with large hail and severe wind gusts will be
possible along the Front Range into the Central Plains Friday
afternoon/evening. A complex of storms are expected to develop over
western Pennsylvania Friday afternoon and propagate into the
Northeast/Mid-Atlantic Coast that evening.
Tonight, convection is expected to flare up along a cold front pushing
through the Midwest. Surface cyclogenesis along the front could promote
enhanced hourly rainfall rates. Thus, a Slight Risk (at least 15%) of
Excessive Rainfall leading to Flash Flooding is in effect for portions of
the Midwest, from southeastern Iowa/northeastern Missouri across
north-central Illinois and into northwestern Indiana. Totals of around an
inch of rain are expected with isolated amounts closer to two inches
possible in certain spots. Excessive Heat concerns will wane over the
Southwest this weekend as the mid-level disturbance shifts into the Plains
along with an upper ridge. The newly developing ridge over the Central
U.S. will increase Excessive Heat threats across the eastern half of the
country heading into next week.
The threat for Excessive Rainfall leading to Flash Flooding continues
over central and southern Florida through Friday...
...There's an Enhanced Risk of Severe Thunderstorms across parts of the
Middle Mississippi Valley on Thursday...
...There are Excessive Heat Warnings and Advisories over parts of the
Southwest, and western Texas...
A stationary boundary bisecting the Florida Peninsula will be the focus
for thunderstorm activity across much of the state over the next couple of
days. A complex of storms slowly moving through south-central Florida late
this afternoon and into the early evening will produce heavy to excessive
rainfall leading to significant flash flooding. Storms should move into
the Keys tonight before reloading for another round of storms on Thursday
and Friday. There are Slight Risks (at least 15%) in effect for parts of
central/southern Florida with the potential for upgrades over the next
couple of days.
Digging mid-level energy will support thunderstorm activity across
portions of the Middle Mississippi Valley Thursday afternoon and evening.
Thunderstorms are expected to initiate somewhere ahead of a cold front
propagating through the Upper Midwest Thursday afternoon before moving
into the eastern Iowa, northern Illinois/Indiana. Storms should congeal
into an MCS and push farther into the Midwest Thursday night. There's an
Enhanced Risk (level 3/5) of Severe Thunderstorms in southern Iowa,
northwest Illinois and northern Missouri for late Thursday afternoon to
early evening. Very large hail, destructive wind gusts and a few tornadoes
are possible. This vort max will shift the convective threat into the
interior Northeast on Friday afternoon and evening, where scattered storms
with severe wind gusts will be possible. The upper low that has been
spinning just off the coast of southern/Baja California will move into the
Western U.S. on Thursday before influencing more thunderstorm activity
over parts of the Central Plains this Friday. Storms are forecast to
initiate on the lee side of the Central Rockies on Friday afternoon and
propagate eastward into the Central Plains that evening.
An upper-level ridge over the West will degrade and shift eastward as the
closed low move into the region over the next 24 hours. Temperatures will
moderate a bit, particularly over the Four Corners as well as California's
central valley, where Excessive Heat Warnings and Watches will come to an
end tonight. Anomalous temps should shift into the Northwest and northern
tier late this week beneath the ridge. In the meantime, Excessive Heat
Warnings and Advisories remain in effect across parts of the Southwest
into western Texas.
...A prolonged heavy to Excessive Rainfall event will continue across
southern Florida through the end of the work week...
...Severe Storms possible over parts of the Great Plains and Mississippi
Valley through mid-week...
...There are Excessive Heat Warnings/Watches and Heat Advisories over
Northern/Central California, Southwest, and western Texas on Tuesday...
Shortwave energy responsible for this afternoon/evening's thunderstorm
activity over parts of south-central Texas, where a Slight Risk (level
2/5) of Severe Thunderstorms is in effect, will go on to reinforce heavy
rainfall across southern Florida this week. The severe threat in Texas
will be related to a MCS that will propagate into a moist and unstable
environment this afternoon/early evening. The main threat from this
cluster of storms will be a severe-wind risk. Mid-level energy cycling
through the southern periphery of a parent low will influence severe
thunderstorm potential across the Upper Midwest on Wednesday
afternoon/early evening and then another chance over parts of the Central
Plains and Middle Mississippi Valley on Thursday. Slight Risks of Severe
Thunderstorms are in effect for those areas, with large hail and severe
gusts possible. A few tornadoes may occur over the Upper Midwest tomorrow
in addition to the hail and winds.
Meanwhile, a quasi stationary surface front with emerging and retrograding
shortwave energy aloft will support a prolonged heavy to excessive
rainfall event across southern Florida for the next several days. Showers
and thunderstorms will occur across other parts of the state to a lesser
extent. Slight Risks of Excessive Rainfall leading to Flash Flooding are
in effect for southern Florida through the end of the work week, where we
are forecasting well over 7 inches of rain.
Elsewhere, upper ridging will build over the Southwest while a mid-level
low moves into southern California. This will support strong southerly
flow leading to anomalously mild temperatures across much of the West over
the next few days. Temperatures in the 90s to 100s will be between 15-25
degrees above average, particularly across parts of the Great Basin, and
Intermountain West. There are Excessive Heat Warnings and Watches in
effect for parts of California's Central Valley, the Southwest and western
Texas. Little to no overnight relief, as far as temperatures go, will lead
to potential impacts to those without adequate cooling/hydration. Below
average temperatures across the Tennessee/Ohio Valleys will moderate as we
head into late week.
A very stormy and wet week is in store for the Florida Peninsula as a
steady plume of rich, tropical moisture from the western Caribbean begins
to overspread the area ahead of a quasi-stationary frontal boundary draped
just to the north. Multiple rounds of intense downpour producing storms
(rain rates of 2"+ per hour) are expected not only through the current
forecast period (Wednesday evening), but are likely to continue into the
weekend. Slight Risks (level 2/4) of Excessive Rainfall are in effect both
Tuesday and Wednesday for the threat of flash flooding, particularly for
urban areas, and a higher threat level may be necessary if confidence in
day-to-day storm locations increases. While antecedent conditions are dry
in the region, the threat outside urban areas may also increase with each
day as the heavy rainfall begins to lead to wetter soils more susceptible
to flooding. Further west, additional storms are expected along the
boundary along the immediate Gulf Coast and into portions of Texas the
next couple of days. While the available moisture will not be as high and
rain rates/totals are not forecast to be as heavy as further east, there
will still be an isolated risk of flash flooding, most likely over central
Texas. The Storm Prediction Center has also included a Slight Risk of
severe thunderstorms (level 2/5) over the Edwards Plateau Tuesday where
some of the more intense storms could produce some large hail and damaging
winds.
Showers and thunderstorms continue ahead of a frontal system passing
through the northern/central Plains this evening. The system will lift
northeastward into the Upper Midwest Tuesday with some showers and storms
expected, though totals will likely remain light to moderate as storm
coverage/intensity decreases. Another system will approach and move into
the Pacific Northwest early Tuesday and pass through the northern Rockies
by Wednesday, though little to no precipitation is expected across the
region. As the system enters the northern Plains/Upper Midwest by
Wednesday afternoon, better moisture streaming northward will bring a
greater chance of thunderstorms. The SPC has included a Slight Risk over
portions of the Upper Midwest for the threat of very large hail and
damaging winds.
Much of the West will remain well-above average this week as an
upper-level high begins to build in over the Southwest and northern
Mexico. The greatest threat from the heat will stretch from the central
California valleys into portions of southern Nevada/Arizona Tuesday before
expanding even further east into southern New Mexico and far west Texas by
Wednesday. Here, heat-related advisories and warnings are in place as
temperatures soar well into the 100s and nighttime lows in the 70s and low
80s provide little relief. The risk from the heat is characterized as
'Major' (level 3/4) which considers impacts that will be felt by the
entire population that are without effective cooling or adequate
hydration, not just those individuals more sensitive to heat. Much above
average temperatures will also spread into portions of the north-central
U.S. by Wednesday, with many highs in the upper 80s to mid-90s from the
central/northern Plains into portions of the Upper Midwest. Meanwhile,
temperatures will begin to warm-up and return closer to normal over the
next couple of days for much of the Interior Northeast/Ohio Valley
following many highs in the 60s Monday. Most of the eastern/southern U.S.
will be near average with highs in the 70s/80s for the Northeast, 80s in
the Mid-Atlantic, and 80s and 90s from the Southern Plains into the
Southeast.
Thunderstorms to be most active across the High Plains into portions of
the Lower Mississippi Valley into parts of the Southeast...
...Hot weather to begin returning to parts of the West early this week...
The same cold front that was associated with severe thunderstorms and
areas of flash flooding from eastern Colorado into southern Missouri on
Saturday will continue to slowly move south through Monday night before
stalling near the Gulf Coast. Low level convergence near the front and a
region of anomalous moisture extending from the Southeast into the
southern Plains and northward into the northern High Plains will help
support numerous showers and thunderstorms over the next couple of days. A
few of the storms will be capable of becoming severe and/or producing
flash flooding as highlighted by Marginal and Slight Risks of severe
thunderstorms and Excessive Rainfall generated by the Storm Prediction
Center and Weather Prediction Center. Temperatures will be pleasantly cool
north of the front, with high temperature departures expected to be 10-20
degrees below average across the southern High Plains and Great Lakes
region on Monday. Temperatures will moderate on Tuesday but remain below
average from Texas/Oklahoma into the middle Mississippi Valley, Northeast
and Mid-Atlantic region. Cloud cover from scattered showers and embedded
thunderstorms will help to keep temperatures down for parts of the Great
Lakes and Northeast today, but a drier trend is likely through Tuesday for
these areas.
An upper level trough across the western U.S. will be preceded by a weak
cold front at the surface which will move eastward through Tuesday. Severe
thunderstorms will be possible from eastern Wyoming into adjacent portions
of South Dakota and western Nebraska on Monday as the cold front moves
into the Great Plains. The cold front will not make much southern progress
across the western U.S. however, and a shift toward zonal flow in the
mid-levels of the atmosphere will be accompanied by warming temperatures
through mid-week for the West. High temperatures are expected to reach
dangerously hot levels for portions of the Sacramento and San Joaquin
Valley in California as well as southern Nevada into southern Arizona.
Excessive Heat Watches have been posted for these regions in anticipation
of the expanding heat early this week with forecast departures ranging
from 10 to 20 degrees above average on Tuesday.
.Dual threats of severe thunderstorms and flash flooding this evening
through Saturday night across the central High Plains into the southern
Missouri...
...Temperatures will be above average for the West and Southeast while it
will be cooler than average from the central Plains into portions of the
Great Lakes and Northeast through Monday...
Higher end threats for severe thunderstorms and flash flooding will exist
this evening into early Sunday morning across the central U.S. Anomalous
moisture is already in place from the central High Plains region, eastward
across Kansas into southern Missouri near a cold front in the region.
Thunderstorms will increase in coverage and intensity over eastern
portions of Colorado and southern Missouri through the remainder of the
evening and favorable wind shear will support severe thunderstorms. The
Storm Prediction Center has an Enhanced Risk (level 3 of 5) of severe
thunderstorms extending from eastern Colorado into western Kansas through
Sunday morning, while a Moderate Risk (level 3 of 4) of flash flooding is
in place by the Weather Prediction Center over southern Missouri. Multiple
rounds of thunderstorms will favor the potential for several inches of
rain through Sunday morning.
The cold front over the central U.S. is expected to continue advancing
south into the southern Plains and east into the southern Mid-Atlantic
region on Sunday, bringing cooler temperatures to the central U.S.
Forecast high temperatures on Monday are expected to be about 20 degrees
colder compared to the expected high temperatures for today. Cooler than
average temperatures are also expected for the Great Lakes region where
reinforcing cold fronts will move through the region through Monday in
addition to showers and thunderstorms.
Across the western and southeastern U.S., warmer than average high
temperatures are in the forecast through Monday, although a break is
coming from some of the excessive heat experienced over the past few days
across California, the Desert Southwest and Texas. A cold front will move
through the West over the next couple of days which will bring some relief
from the high temperatures along with an increasing coverage of showers
and thunderstorms. A Marginal Risk of severe thunderstorms (hail and wind)
is forecast by the Storm Prediction Center over portions of Idaho, Montana
and Wyoming for Sunday ahead of an upper level trough which will help to
drive the cold front inland.
Threats for severe weather and flash flooding for portions of the
Central Plains into the middle/lower Missouri River Valley through
Saturday...
...Excessive heat over the West and Southwest through Saturday but some
relief coming on Sunday...
Most of the active weather across the lower 48 will focus across the
central portion of the nation through the weekend in the form of severe
thunderstorms and potential for flash flooding. Anomalous moisture will
pool in the vicinity of a pair of frontal boundaries located over the
Central Plains this evening. Severe thunderstorms are expected to increase
in coverage through this evening near a stationary front currently in
place across Nebraska, with threats for large hail and damaging straight
line winds in addition to tornadoes. An organized thunderstorm complex is
likely to form tonight and translate toward the southeast toward the lower
Missouri Valley, carrying a risk for flash flooding with high rainfall
rates and possibly 4-5 inches of rain by Saturday morning.
Severe weather (mainly hail and wind) and flash flood potential will focus
a little farther south on Saturday as a cold front moves through the
central Plains. The threat region will extend from the central High
Plains, through southern KS into the middle Mississippi and lower Ohio
Valleys. Spotty rainfall totals in excess of 3 inches will be possible in
addition to the severe thunderstorms.
Out West, an upper level ridge in place over the western U.S. will
maintain the hot weather on Saturday that has been impacting the region
over the past couple of days. However, the upper level ridge will be
displaced and weakened with the approach of an upstream trough axis and
associated surface cold front. The cold front is forecast to arrive early
on Sunday and advance south and east during the day which will lower the
magnitude of hot weather. Temperatures however, are still likely to remain
up to roughly 10 degrees above average on Sunday.
Across the Great Lakes region into the Northeast, temperatures will run 5
to 15 degrees below average beneath the influence of upper level troughing
this weekend. The region will remain unsettled however, with multiple
rounds of showers and thunderstorms beneath the upper trough and with a
surface low/cold front tracking eastward through Sunday. East of the
Appalachians, from the Mid-Atlantic to Southeast, high pressure will keep
temperatures near to slightly above average for the weekend but with
little to no chances for precipitation. The one exception will be across
the Florida Peninsula where high temperatures in the middle to upper 90s
may challenge a few daily maximum temperature records on Saturday and
Sunday. In addition, diurnally driven thunderstorms are expected each day
but with a focus across southern Florida where access to better moisture
will reside.
Excessive Heat Warnings remain in effect across the California's
Central Valley and much of the Desert Southwest...
...A couple rounds of severe thunderstorms and heavy rainfall possible
across portions of the Central Plains toward the Mid-Mississippi Valley
Friday and Saturday...
A strong upper-level ridge associated with the ongoing heat wave over the
Southwest is forecast to reach its peak intensity today (Thursday) before
sliding off slowly toward the southern Plains during the next couple of
days. Widespread high and low temperature records being tied or broken
between California Nevada and Arizona today will expand a bit northward
into Oregon and Washington on Friday and Saturday. Highs in the 90s and
100s followed by lows ranging from the upper 50s to mid 70s will lower by
a couple of degrees each day. HeatRisk will peak between Major and
Extreme today for much of the West, with California's Central Valley and
the Desert Southwest being of particular concern due to their lower
elevations and some urban areas. Little to no overnight relief from the
heat will affect those without effective cooling and/or adequate
hydration.
Mid-level energy propagating through the Florida peninsula will support
scattered thunderstorms that may become severe this evening. Meanwhile, a
couple days of Major to Extreme Heat Risk, particularly over urban areas
are forecast for the southern half of the peninsula. Several high and low
temperature records may be tied or broken on Friday and Saturday.
Showers and thunderstorms will develop along a cold front moving across
the East Coast today. Locally heavy rainfall may occur over portions of
the Interior Northeast and southern New England into the evening. Things
mostly clear out across the East Coast on Friday, save for parts of
northern/central New England where some light showers and an isolated
thunderstorm will be possible. A lingering upper-level low will keep
temperatures cooler than normal across the northern tier states along with
windy conditions into the weekend. The associated instability will also
support occasional showers across the Great Lakes for the next couple of
days.
We shift our attention to the Central U.S. on Friday as a low pressure
system emerges from the Rockies. Showers and thunderstorms are expected to
develop across the Central Plains and move generally east toward the
Mid-Mississippi Valley as organized clusters of thunderstorms that day.
The Storm Prediction Center issued a Slight Risk (level 2/5) of Severe
Thunderstorms across south-central Nebraska into northern Kansas due to
the potential of damaging wind gusts and some hail. Excessive Rainfall
will be more likely farther downstream from eastern Kansas into western
Missouri. By Saturday, the thunderstorms and heavy rain are expected to
push farther southeast toward the mid-Mississippi Valley when colder air
from the northern Plains begins to edge southward. The best chance for
these storms to develop will be from Friday afternoon into the evening
from eastern Oklahoma to northern Arkansas and southern Missouri.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms expected to move through the
eastern U.S. for the next couple of days with locally heavy to excessive
rainfall possible over the central Appalachians through tonight...
Over the next couple of days, a shift in the weather pattern will continue
to push the active weather across the eastern U.S. This shift in the
weather pattern will also sustain a heatwave across the southwestern U.S.
High temperatures well up into the 100s this afternoon across the Central
Valley of California could soar a couple degrees higher Thursday
afternoon. The Desert Southwest will likely see temperatures soaring into
the 110s Thursday afternoon, with Las Vegas' high temperature
challenging/reaching its earliest 112 degrees on record. Widespread high
and low temperature records may be tied or broken through Friday.
Excessive Heat Warnings are in effect for California's Central Valley as
well as much of the Desert Southwest including southeastern California,
southern Nevada and western/southern Arizona. Record warm low
temperatures at night will not offer much chance to cool off either. The
heat is forecast to expand northward across the Great Basin and into the
interior Pacific Northwest on Friday with highs reaching well up into the
90s. Meanwhile, the heat across southern Texas is forecast to become less
intense over the next couple of days.
Much cooler, damp, and windy conditions will gradually spread from the
northern Plains eastward into the upper Midwest and the Great Lakes
through the next couple of days behind the cold front trailing south from
a deep low pressure system over southern Canada. The system will push
steadily eastward, providing a break in the active weather over the
mid-section of the country while spreading showers and embedded
thunderstorms across the Great Lakes, Ohio and Tennessee Valleys, and down
toward the lower Mississippi Valley through tonight. The inclement
weather will reach into much of the East Coast on Thursday as the cold
front continues its eastward progress. There appears to be a greater
chance for New England to see some locally heavy rain with embedded
thunderstorms later on Thursday as a warm front lifting northward meets
the eastward-advancing cold front. More rounds of showers are expected
for the interior Northeast on Friday as addition energy rotates across the
Great Lakes toward New England.
By later on Friday, a low pressure system will be organizing over the
central Plains with support from upper-level energy ejecting eastward from
the central Rockies. Showers and thunderstorms will begin to develop and
expand ahead of the system over the central Plains by Friday afternoon.
Scattered thunderstorms will also develop over the central Rockie
Severe thunderstorms and heavy rain possible from the lower Mississippi
Valley across the south-central Plains and through the upper Midwest
through tonight...
...Growing Excessive Heat concerns over portions of California's central
valley region as well as the Desert Southwest with Heat Risk persisting
over southern Texas...
Over the next couple of days, a shift in the weather pattern will
gradually push the active weather that has been persisting over the
mid-section of the country toward the eastern U.S. This shift in the
weather pattern will also bring a heatwave into the western U.S. A low
pressure system currently advancing across the northern Plains has
prompted High Wind Warnings and Wind Advisories from the northern Rockies
into the northern Plains. This system will act as a catalyst for the
weather pattern change as the trailing front marches across the country
through the next couple of days. Showers and thunderstorms are expected
to be most active ahead of the cold front across the Midwest and farther
south where it meets a low pressure wave over Oklahoma, where the chance
of severe thunderstorms and flash flooding will be the highest through
tonight. By Wednesday, the system will push steadily eastward, ending
much of the active weather over the mid-section of the country while
bringing widespread showers and embedded thunderstorms across the Great
Lakes, Ohio and Tennessee Valleys, and down toward the lower Mississippi
Valley. The inclement weather will reach into much of the East Coast on
Thursday as a cold front continues its eastward progress. There appears
to be a greater chance for New England to see stronger thunderstorms later
on Thursday as a warm front lifting northward meets the eastward-advancing
cold front.
Much cooler, damp, and windy conditions will gradually spread from the
northern Plains eastward into the upper Midwest and the Great Lakes
through the next couple of days behind the cold front and a deep low
pressure system over southern Canada. On the opposite side of the
country, a heatwave is in store for the southwestern portion of the
country as a strong ridge of high pressure intensifies and takes control.
Areas of particular concern for the heat include the low elevation regions
of California's central valley, where high temperatures will likely climb
well up into the 100s at the hottest location while 110s will be common
over the interior desert region including Las Vegas, NV especially by
Thursday afternoon. There is a good chance for the temperature to top 112
degrees in Las Vegas on Thursday, which would become the city's earliest
observed 112 degrees on record. Widespread temperature records are also
expected to be tied or broken elsewhere across much of the aforementioned
areas. Excessive Heat Warnings and Watches extend from the central valley
down through southern California's deserts, southern Nevada and
southern/western Arizona. Heat Risk will peak over California's central
valley on Wednesday before expanding into the Desert Southwest later this
week. Little overnight relief will make for dangerous conditions for
those without effective cooling and/or adequate hydration. Meanwhile,
Heat Risk over southern Texas peaks today but is expected to persist for
the next few days.
On Tuesday, a reinforcing cold front will move out of the Northern Rockies
and merge with the front over the Mississippi Valley, producing showers
and severe thunderstorms over parts of the Upper/Middle Mississippi Valley
and Central Plains. Therefore, the SPC has issued a Slight Risk (level
2/5) of severe thunderstorms over parts of the Upper/Middle Mississippi
Valley and Central Plains from Tuesday into Wednesday morning. The
hazards associated with these thunderstorms are frequent lightning, severe
thunderstorm wind gusts, hail, and a few tornadoes.
Moreover, the showers and thunderstorms will cause heavy rain over the
Upper/Middle/Lower Mississippi Valley and Central/Southern Plains.
Therefore, the WPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/4) of excessive
rainfall over parts of the Upper/Middle/Lower Mississippi Valley and
Central/Southern Plains from Tuesday through Wednesday morning. The
associated heavy rain will create mainly localized areas of flash
flooding, with urban areas, roads, small streams, and low-lying areas the
most vulnerable.
On Wednesday, the threat of excessive rainfall will decrease slightly over
the Great Lakes, Ohio/Tennessee Valleys, Lower Mississippi Valley,
Southern Plains, Central/Southern Appalachians, Mid-Atlantic and
Southeast. Therefore, the WPC has issued a Marginal Risk (level 1/4) of
excessive rainfall over the region on Wednesday. The associated heavy
rain will create localized areas of flash flooding, affecting areas that
experience rapid runoff with heavy rain. Also, on Wednesday, the threat of
severe thunderstorms will end. However, showers and thunderstorms will
develop over the eastern third of the lower forty-eight states.
Meanwhile, on Monday, rain and snow melt will produce heavy runoff over
parts of the Northwest and Northern Intermountain Region. Therefore, the
WPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/4) of excessive rainfall over parts
of the Northern Intermountain Region through Tuesday morning. The
associated heavy rain will create mainly localized areas of flash
flooding, with urban areas, roads, small streams, and low-lying areas the
most vulnerable.
In addition, early Tuesday, a front will move onshore over the Pacific
Northwest and inland to the Northern Intermountain Region and weaken by
Wednesday. The system will produce rain over parts of the Pacific
Northwest and Northern Intermountain Region.
Furthermore, a developing upper-level ridging will build over California
and continue over southern/western Texas, aiding in spawning Excessive
Heat Warnings, Excessive Heat Watches, and Heat Advisories over
Central/Southern California and western/southern Texas and Central
California.
Moreover, the ridging will create the first round of dangerous heat this
season. The hottest temperatures so far for the West will build in
California and the Desert Southwest on Tuesday. On Wednesday, the heat
will create record-breaking daily high temperatures for portions of
California�s Central Valley. Be sure to break your heat exposure by
avoiding outdoor time at the hottest times of the day. Check local media
and government websites for cooling center locations and hours.
On Monday, the threat of severe thunderstorms moves east of the dryline as
upper-level energy moves over the Southern Plains/Lower Mississippi
Valley. Therefore, the SPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/5) of severe
thunderstorms over the Southern Plains/Lower Mississippi Valley from
Monday through Tuesday morning. The hazards associated with these
thunderstorms are frequent lightning, severe thunderstorm wind gusts,
hail, and a few tornadoes.
Moreover, the energy that produces the showers and thunderstorms will
cause heavy rain over the Middle/Lower Mississippi Valley and Southern
Plains. Therefore, the WPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/4) of
excessive rainfall over parts of the Middle/Lower Mississippi Valley and
Southern Plains from Monday through Tuesday morning. The associated heavy
rain will create mainly localized areas of flash flooding, with urban
areas, roads, small streams, and low-lying areas the most vulnerable.
On Tuesday, the threat of severe thunderstorms will decrease slightly over
the Upper/Middle Mississippi Valley and Central Plains. Therefore, there
will be a Moderate Risk of severe thunderstorms over the area.
However, the threat of excessive rainfall will continue over the
Upper/Middle/Lower Mississippi Valley and Central/Southern Plains.
Therefore, the WPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/4) of excessive
rainfall over parts of the Upper/Middle/Lower Mississippi Valley and
Central/Southern Plains on Tuesday. The associated heavy rain will create
mainly localized areas of flash flooding, with urban areas, roads, small
streams, and low-lying areas the most vulnerable.
Meanwhile, onshore flow and a steady stream of upper-level energy over
the Pacific Northwest will trigger rain and snow melt over parts of the
Pacific Northwest into the Northern Intermountain Region from Sunday into
Monday. Therefore, the WPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/4) of
excessive rainfall over parts of the Pacific Northwest through Monday
morning. The associated heavy rain will create mainly localized areas of
flash flooding, with urban areas, roads, small streams, and low-lying
areas the most vulnerable.
Additionally, the heavy rain and snow melt will develop over parts of the
Northern Intermountain Region. Therefore, the WPC has issued a Slight Risk
(level 2/4) of excessive rainfall over parts of the Northern Intermountain
Region through Monday morning. The associated heavy rain will create
mainly localized areas of flash flooding, with urban areas, roads, small
streams, and low-lying areas the most vulnerable.
Moreover, heavy rain and snow melt will develop over parts of the Northern
Intermountain Region on Monday. Therefore, the WPC has issued a Slight
Risk (level 2/4) of excessive rainfall over parts of the Northern
Intermountain Region from Monday into Tuesday morning. The associated
heavy rain will create mainly localized areas of flash flooding, with
urban areas, roads, small streams, and low-lying areas the most vulnerable.
Furthermore, a developing upper-level ridging will build over California
and continue over southern/western Texas, aiding in spawning Heat
Advisories over western/southern Texas and Central California.
On Sunday, a cold front extending from the Northern Plains to the Great
Basin will move eastward to the Upper/Middle Mississippi Valley by Monday,
producing showers and severe thunderstorms over parts of the Central High
Plains. Therefore, the SPC has issued an Enhanced Risk (level 3/5) of
severe thunderstorms over the Central High Plains from Sunday through
Monday morning. The hazards associated with these thunderstorms are
frequent lightning, severe thunderstorm wind gusts, hail, and a few
tornadoes. In addition, there is a threat of severe thunderstorm wind
gust, of 65 knots or greater.
Moreover, a second area of severe thunderstorms will also occur over the
Southern High Plains on Sunday. Therefore, the SPC has issued a Slight
Risk (level 2/5) of severe thunderstorms over the Southern High Plains
from Sunday through Monday morning. The hazards associated with these
thunderstorms are frequent lightning, severe thunderstorm wind gusts,
hail, and a few tornadoes.
Furthermore, showers and thunderstorms will cause heavy rain over the
Upper/Middle Mississippi Valley and Northern/Central Plains. Therefore,
the WPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/4) of excessive rainfall over
parts of the Upper/Middle Mississippi Valley and Northern/Central Plains
from Sunday through Monday morning. The associated heavy rain will create
mainly localized areas of flash flooding, with urban areas, roads, small
streams, and low-lying areas the most vulnerable.
On Monday, the threat of severe thunderstorms and excessive rainfall will
decrease slightly over the Middle/Mississippi Valley and Central/Southern
Plains. Therefore, there will be a Moderate Risk of severe thunderstorms
and excessive rainfall over the area.
Meanwhile, onshore flow and a steady stream of upper-level energy over the
Pacific Northwest will trigger rain and snow melt over parts of the
Pacific Northwest into the Northern Intermountain Region from early
Saturday into Monday. On Sunday the rainfall will increase, therefore, the
WPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/4) of excessive rainfall over parts
of the Pacific Northwest from Sunday through Monday morning. The
associated heavy rain will create mainly localized areas of flash
flooding, with urban areas, roads, small streams, and low-lying areas the
most vulnerable.
Additionally, the heavy rain and snow melt will develop over parts of the
Northern Intermountain Region. Therefore, the WPC has issued a Slight Risk
(level 2/4) of excessive rainfall over parts of the Northern Intermountain
Region from Sunday through Monday morning. The associated heavy rain will
create mainly localized areas of flash flooding, with urban areas, roads,
small streams, and low-lying areas the most vulnerable.
Moreover, on Monday, the rain and snow melt will produce heavy rain over
parts of the Northern Intermountain Region. Therefore, the WPC has issued
a Slight Risk (level 2/4) of excessive rainfall over parts of the Northern
Intermountain Region on Monday. The associated heavy rain will create
mainly localized areas of flash flooding, with urban areas, roads, small
streams, and low-lying areas the most vulnerable.
Furthermore, a developing upper-level ridging over southern Texas will aid
in spawning Heat Advisories over Western Texas.
There is a Slight Risk of severe thunderstorms over parts of the
Central/Southern High Plains and Lower Mississippi Valley on Friday, over
parts of the Central/Southern High Plains on Saturday, and
Northern/Central Plains/Upper Mississippi Valley on Sunday...

Moisture streaming northward over the Plains and a dryline over western
Texas will aid in creating showers and severe thunderstorms over parts of
the Central/Southern High Plains. Therefore, the SPC has issued a Slight
Risk (level 2/5) of severe thunderstorms over the Central/Southern High
Plains through Saturday morning. The hazards associated with these
thunderstorms are frequent lightning, severe thunderstorm wind gusts,
hail, and a minimal threat of tornadoes.
A second area of showers and severe thunderstorms will develop over the
Southern Plains. Therefore, the SPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/5)
of severe thunderstorms over parts of the Southern Plains through Saturday
morning. The hazards associated with these thunderstorms are frequent
lightning, severe thunderstorm wind gusts, hail, and a minimal threat of
tornadoes.
A third area of showers and severe thunderstorms will also develop over
parts of the Lower Mississippi Valley. Therefore, the SPC has issued a
Slight Risk (level 2/5) of severe thunderstorms over parts of the Lower
Mississippi Valley through Saturday morning. The hazards associated with
these thunderstorms are frequent lightning, severe thunderstorm wind
gusts, hail, and a minimal threat of tornadoes.
In addition, the showers and thunderstorms will create heavy rain over
parts of the Southern Plains and Middle/Lower Mississippi Valley.
Therefore, the WPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/4) of excessive
rainfall over parts of the Southern Plains and Middle/Lower Mississippi
Valley through Saturday morning. The associated heavy rain will create
mainly localized areas of flash flooding, with urban areas, roads, small
streams, and low-lying areas the most vulnerable.
On Saturday, the same set-up over the Southern Plains, moisture streaming
northward over the Plains, and a dryline over western Texas will create
showers and severe thunderstorms over the region. Therefore, the SPC has
issued a Slight Risk (level 2/5) of severe thunderstorms over the
Central/Southern High Plains from Saturday through Sunday morning. The
hazards associated with these thunderstorms are frequent lightning, severe
thunderstorm wind gusts, hail, and a minimal threat of tornadoes.

Southern High Plains on Thursday...
...There is a Slight Risk of severe thunderstorms over parts of the
Central/Southern High Plains and Southern Plains/Lower Mississippi Valley
on Friday and over parts of the Central/Southern High Plains on
Saturday...
...There is a Slight Risk of excessive rainfall over parts of the
Central/Southern Plains and Lower Mississippi Valley on Thursday/Friday
and Lower Mississippi Valley/Southeast on Saturday...
...There are Heat Advisories over southern Texas...
A front extending from the Northern Plains to the Southern High Plains
will slowly move to the Upper Mississippi Valley to the Southern High
Plains and stall by Friday evening, then dissipating on Saturday. Moisture
streaming northward over the Plains and a dryline over western Texas will
aid in creating showers and severe thunderstorms over parts of the
Southern High Plains. Therefore, the SPC has issued an Enhanced Risk
(level 3/5) of severe thunderstorms over parts of the Southern High Plains
through Friday morning. The hazards associated with these thunderstorms
are frequent lightning, severe thunderstorm wind gusts, hail, and a few
tornadoes. Further, there will be an added threat of severe thunderstorm
wind gusts of 65 knots or greater and hail, two inches or greater, over
parts of the Southern High Plains.
In addition, the showers and thunderstorms will create heavy rain over
parts of the Central/Southern High Plains and Southern Plains/Lower
Mississippi Valley. Therefore, the WPC has issued a Slight Risk (level
2/4) of excessive rainfall over parts of the Central/Southern High Plains
and Southern Plains/Lower Mississippi Valley through Friday morning. The
associated heavy rain will create mainly localized areas of flash
flooding, with urban areas, roads, small streams, and low-lying areas the
most vulnerable.
On Friday, the front over the Central/Southern High Plains will create
showers and severe thunderstorms over the region. Therefore, the SPC has
issued a Slight Risk (level 2/5) of severe thunderstorms over the
Central/Southern High Plains from Friday through Saturday morning. The
hazards associated with these thunderstorms are frequent lightning, severe
thunderstorm wind gusts, hail, and a minimal threat of tornadoes.
Additionally, a second area of severe thunderstorms will occur over parts
of the Southern Plains/Lower Mississippi Valley. Therefore, the SPC has
issued a Slight Risk (level 2/5) of severe thunderstorms over the Southern
Plains/Lower Mississippi Valley from Friday through Saturday morning. The
hazards associated with these thunderstorms are frequent lightning, severe
thunderstorm wind gusts, hail, and a few tornadoes.
Moreover, the showers and thunderstorms will also create heavy rain from
the moisture stream northward from the Western Gulf of Mexico over parts
of the Central/Southern Plains and Middle/Lower Mississippi Valley.
Therefore, the WPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/4) of excessive
rainfall over parts of the Central/Southern Plains and Middle/Lower
Mississippi Valley from Friday through Saturday morning. The associated
heavy rain will create mainly localized areas of flash flooding, with
urban areas, roads, small streams, and low-lying areas the most vulnerable.
More active weather across the mid sections of the nation, with
additional rounds of thunderstorms, heavy rains, flash flooding and severe
weather...
...Heat to continue across Southwest to South Texas and much of Florida,
while building across the inland valleys of California...
...Cooler than average temperatures for the Plains and large portions of
the eastern U.S...
No let up to the recent very active weather pattern across the mid section
of the nation over the next few days. Heavy rains, flash flooding and
severe weather that has been focusing across the Southern Plains over the
past two days will be re-focusing farther to the north Wednesday evening
across the Northern to Central High Plains ahead of a strong cold front
pushing eastward across this area. This thunderstorm activity has the
potential to produce severe weather, heavy rains and isolated flash
flooding overnight into early Thursday across the Northern to Central High
Plains as the thunderstorms push eastward. By late Thursday afternoon,
strong southern stream mid to upper level disturbances are expected to
push into the Southern Plains, initiating another round of active and
potentially impactful thunderstorms. Additional heavy rains, flash
flooding and severe weather are possible across a large portion of the
Southern Plains from North Texas, across much of Oklahoma, Kansas,
southern Nebraska and eastern Colorado.
No big changes expected to the recent heat across Southwest to South Texas
and across much of Florida, with much above average temperatures expected
to persist across these regions over the next few days. There will
continue to be the potential for record high afternoon temperatures across
portions of central to Southwest Florida Thursday and Friday along with
record high morning low temperatures across the Florida Keys Thursday and
Friday mornings. Hot temperatures also expected to be expanding across
the interior valleys of California over the next two days with high
temperatures reaching the middle to upper 90s. These temperatures,
however, will remain below record values for these dates. In contrast to
the above mentioned hot temperatures, cooler than average temperatures are
forecast across much of the Plains due to the ongoing wet weather and
cloud cover. Cooler than average temperatures are also expected to
persist large portions of the eastern U.S. from the Lower Lakes, through
the Appalachians, Mid-Atlantic and Southeast.
.Active central U.S. weather pattern to continue. Heavy rains, flash
flooding and severe weather possible...
...Heat continues across southern Texas and much of Florida. Hot temps
begin to build in the interior California Valleys...
...Cooler than average temperatures expected across the mid section of the
nation and much of the East..
The very active and highly impactful late spring weather pattern will
continue across the central U.S. over the next several days. Initially
activity will concentrate across portions of the Southern Plains from
Oklahoma into Texas from Tuesday afternoon into Wednesday, where there
will be potential for thunderstorms to produce heavy rains, localized
flash flooding and severe weather. By late Wednesday into Thursday, a
strong frontal boundary will be pushing eastward into the Northern to
Central High Plains. This will help focus the next round of active
weather farther to the north as thunderstorms blossom Wednesday afternoon
across eastern Montana, eastern Wyoming and northeast Colorado and then
push east into the Northern to Central High Plains. Severe weather, heavy
rain and isolated flash flooding will be possible across these areas. The
focus for the next round of impactful thunderstorms on Thursday will then
be shifting back to the south across portions of the Central and Southern
Plains across eastern Nebraska, much of Kansas, Oklahoma and northern
Texas. Additional heavy rains, flash flooding and severe thunderstorms
will be possible across these areas as well.
The active central U.S. weather pattern will keep temperatures below
average over the next few days due to the clouds and rainfall. Hot
temperatures, however, look like they will continue across southern Texas
and across large portions of Florida. Record high afternoon temperatures
and record high morning low temperatures are possible across portions of
South and Southwest Florida over the next two days. Record high morning
lows also possible across portions of South and coastal Texas Wednesday
and Thursday morning. Heat will also be increasing by mid to late week in
the interior valleys of California. However, temperatures are expected to
remain below record high values.
A broad mid to upper level trough centered from eastern Canada, south
through the Great Lakes, Ohio Valley and Northeast will support below
average temperatures mid to late week across large portions of the East.
Widespread scattered afternoon showers are possible Tuesday from the Lower
Lake into the Ohio Valley and on Wednesday across the Central Appalachians
into portions of the Mid-Atlantic.
On Tuesday, showers and severe thunderstorms will develop over Texas along
the western part of the boundary and dryline. Therefore, the SPC has
issued an Enhanced Risk (level 3/5) of severe thunderstorms over the
Southern Plains from Tuesday through Wednesday morning. The hazards
associated with these thunderstorms are frequent lightning, severe
thunderstorm wind gusts, hail, and a few tornadoes. Additionally, there
will be an added threat of severe thunderstorm wind gusts of 65 knots or
greater and hail, two inches or greater, over parts of the region.
The showers and thunderstorms will also create heavy rain from the
moisture stream northward from the Western Gulf of Mexico. Therefore, the
WPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/4) of excessive rainfall over parts
of the Southern Plains on Tuesday through Wednesday morning. The
associated heavy rain will create mainly localized areas of flash
flooding, with urban areas, roads, small streams, and low-lying areas the
most vulnerable.
Meanwhile, a front will develop over parts of the interior Pacific
Northwest on Tuesday afternoon and move eastward to the Northern High
Plains to the Great Basin by Wednesday. The system will produce showers
and thunderstorms over the Northern Intermountain Region. On Wednesday,
the showers and thunderstorms will move to the Northern Plains and expand
into the Central Plains.
Furthermore, a sub-tropical upper-level high over Mexico will aid in
spawning Excessive Heat Warnings and Heat Advisories over southern Texas
and into the Central Gulf Coast. The ridging will create a dangerous
early-season heat wave over south Texas, Central Gulf Coast, and southern
Florida. Record or near-record warm overnight temperatures will provide
little to no relief to those without adequate or reliable cooling. High
temperatures will be at or near record highs, and heat index readings over
115 degrees over the regions will also be possible. Check local media and
government websites for cooling center locations and hours, especially if
you encounter or are dealing with a loss of power. Drink plenty of water,
avoid alcohol, wear lightweight clothing, and take regular breaks indoors
or in the shade.

Severe weather and heavy rain chances shift into the Mid-Mississippi,
Ohio and Tennessee valleys today before progressing into the Mid-Atlantic,
Southeast, and Gulf Coast on Memorial Day...
...Dangerous and potentially record-breaking heat continues across parts
of Texas, the western Gulf Coast, and southern Florida...
...Active weather returns to the southern Plains on Tuesday with

An organizing storm system over the central U.S. is responsible for
numerous thunderstorms stretching from Kansas/Missouri to the Edwards
Plateau of Texas. Boundaries aiding this convection include a dryline
extending southward through the southern Plains and a slowly lifting warm
front stretching from the central Plains through the Ohio Valley. Current
storms are expected to grow upscale and merge into a larger complex of
thunderstorms by morning while swinging through parts of Missouri,
Illinois, western Kentucky, and neighboring states. Damaging wind gusts,
large hail, and tornadoes are possible. Additionally, heavy rain may lead
to scattered instances of flash flooding with this initial burst of
thunderstorms. By the afternoon hours another round of showers and
thunderstorms are expected to develop along a cold front and impact
similar regions, with the severe threat shifting further east across the
Ohio Valley overnight. More chances for all modes of severe weather are
possible, with repeating storms potentially increasing the flash flooding
threat throughout parts of Kentucky and Tennessee. Area of heavy rain may
also lead to flash flooding concerns near the low pressure center as it
progresses toward southern Wisconsin tonight.
As the center of the storm system enters the Great Lakes on Monday and the
attached cold front extends from the Ohio Valley to the southern Plains,
severe weather and heavy rain chances will focus along the eastern U.S.
and Gulf Coast States. More specifically, the greatest chances for intense
rainfall rates leading to flash flooding exists across eastern
Pennsylvania and neighboring section of southeast New York and northwest
New Jersey, where a Slight Risk (level 2/4) of Excessive Rainfall is in
effect on Memorial Day. Severe thunderstorms are most likely across the
Mid-Atlantic as well as an area stretching from the Lower Mississippi
Valley to the Southeast. Damaging wind gusts and hail are the primary
potential hazards. Residents and visitors planning to enjoy outdoor
holiday barbecues and parties should remain weather aware and have
multiple ways to receive warnings.
Heavy rain and severe thunderstorm chances extend from the Midwest to
the Southern Plains tonight...
...Next round of severe weather to develop across the Central/Southern
Plains Saturday evening before shifting into parts of the
Mid-Mississippi/Ohio Valleys on Sunday...
...Dangerous and potentially record-breaking heat continues across South
Texas, the Gulf Coast, and southern Florida through Memorial Day...
The relentlessly active spring weather pattern is set to continue through
the holiday weekend as two separate systems are anticipated to be
responsible for numerous showers and thunderstorms across the middle of
the Nation. A low pressure system with an attached cold front extends from
the Upper Midwest to the Southern Plains and should maintain a focus for
showers and thunderstorms to develop. Along the cold front as it extends
southward, storms could turn severe from the Midwest to the southern
Plains. This same cold front could slow it's forward momentum and allow
for thunderstorms to potentially train over parts of, central-western
Tennessee, southwestern Kentucky, northwestern Alabama, southern Arkansas,
northwest Mississippi, northern Louisiana, and northeast Texas, leading to
the threat of scattered flash flooding. Elsewhere, scattered thunderstorms
may dampen outdoors plans throughout the Southeast and Tennessee Valley.
The next shortwave to eject out of the western U.S. and into the Great
Plains is expected to spark another round of severe weather Saturday
evening in the Central/Southern Plains. At the surface, low pressure
forming in the lee of the Central Rockies is forecast to lift a warm front
northward into the Central Plains and Mid-Mississippi Valley, while a
sharp dryline extends southward into the Southern Plains. These features
combined with a strengthening low-level jet will allow for storms to turn
severe, with a risk for large hail, intense rainfall rates, a few
tornadoes, and damaging wind gusts. The Storm Prediction Center has issued
an Enhanced Risk (level 3/5) for severe thunderstorms across parts of
Kansas, Oklahoma, and western Missouri in order to highlight the threat.
As clusters of storms move eastward with the low pressure system on
Sunday, the flash flooding and severe weather will also shift into the
Mid-Mississippi and Ohio Valleys. Tornadoes, hail, strong winds, and flash
flooding will all be possible. Residents and visitors located within the
threat for severe weather this weekend are urged to have multiple ways of
receiving warnings and to continue to check for the latest forecast.
Showers and severe thunderstorms will develop as the front over
the Plains moves onto the Mississippi Valley. Therefore, the SPC has
issued a Slight Risk (level 2/5) of severe thunderstorms over parts of the
Western Ohio Valley and Middle/Lower Mississippi. The hazards associated
with these strong to severe thunderstorms are frequent lightning, severe
thunderstorm wind gusts, hail, and a few tornadoes. However, there will be
an added threat of hail, two inches or greater, over parts of the Southern
Plains/Lower Mississippi Valley.
Also, on Friday, the threat of excessive rainfall will decrease slightly
with two areas of a Marginal Risk (level 1/4) of excessive rainfall over
the Southern Plains and Lower Mississippi, Tennessee Valleys, and Central
Appalachians and the second over parts of the Upper Mississippi Valley and
Upper Great Lakes/Western Ohio Valley. The associated heavy rain will
create localized areas of flash flooding, affecting areas that experience
rapid runoff with heavy rain.
Moreover, showers and severe thunderstorms will develop ahead of a
dryline over parts of the Central/Southern Plains on Saturday. Therefore,
the SPC has issued an Enhanced Risk (level 3/5) of severe thunderstorms
over parts of the Central/Southern Plains on Saturday. The hazards
associated with these thunderstorms are frequent lightning, severe
thunderstorm wind gusts, hail, and a few tornadoes.
The showers and thunderstorms will also produce heavy rain over parts of
the Central Plains/Middle Mississippi Valley on Saturday. Therefore, the
WPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/4) of excessive rainfall over parts
of the Central Plains/Middle Mississippi Valley. The associated heavy rain
will create mainly localized areas of flash flooding, with urban areas,
roads, small streams, and low-lying areas the most vulnerable.
Meanwhile, a sub-tropical upper-level high over Mexico will aid in
spawning Heat Advisories over southern Texas through Saturday. The ridging
will create a dangerous early-season heat wave over south Texas, Southern
Florida, and into the Central Gulf Coast. Record or near-record warm
overnight temperatures will provide little to no relief to those without
adequate or reliable cooling. By this weekend, record daily high
temperatures and heat index readings over 115 degrees over the regions
will also be possible. The heat is expected to continue next week,
although some relief may reach the Gulf Coast after Memorial Day with a
cold front. Check local media and government websites for cooling center
locations and hours, especially if you encounter or are dealing with a
loss of power. If you use a portable generator, do so safely to avoid
carbon monoxide poisoning. Never use a generator inside a house, garage,
or other enclosed space!
Weather Thursday May 23 2024 Shoers and t-storms from DC to Boston , severe weather Tenn Valley... some rain Charlotte, Dry west coast
Weather Tuesday May 21 2024 Fair in New York City, dry Atlanta ... T-storms Chicago and the great lakes
An energetic upper-level pattern will bring a couple rounds of storms to
the central U.S. over the next few days. Tonight, moist return flow
following a warm front moving northward through the Plains and ahead of a
dryline over the High Plains will provide more than enough instability to
trigger robust thunderstorm development over the Central Plains.
Increasing upper-level winds will promote supercells with the threat of
large hail and a few tornadoes. Storms are also expected to grow upscale
into one or more organized convective systems, bringing a heightened
threat for potentially widespread, significant damaging winds later this
evening. As such, the Storm Prediction Center has issued a Moderate Risk
of severe weather (level 4/5). Storm chances will shift northeastward into
the Upper Midwest tonight and into the Great Lakes by Monday following an
initial upper-wave/accompanying surface frontal system. An amplifying
long-wave trough over the West will help to enhance lee cyclogenesis over
the High Plains bringing another chance of storms to the Central
Plains/Missouri Valley by Monday evening. The Storm Prediction Center has
included a Slight Risk (level 2/5) for the threat of some more damaging
winds and large hail, and possibly a tornado. Some locally heavy downpours
will also be possible, particularly from the Central Plains into the Upper
Mississippi Valley tonight and the Central Plains once again Monday, with
an isolated chance of flash flooding.
There will be a renewed threat for heavy rainfall and thunderstorms over
the Northern/Central Plains and Upper/Middle Mississippi Valley on Tuesday
as a deepening low pressure system tracks across the region. The Storm
Prediction Center issued an Enhanced Risk (level 3/5) of Severe
Thunderstorms from eastern Kansas to Southwest Wisconsin. There's also a
Slight Risk (at least 15%) of Excessive Rainfall for parts of southern and
eastern Minnesota, much of Wisconsin and northern Illinois. There are also
some isolated chances for severe weather and excessive rainfall into
northern Texas and eastern Oklahoma.
Increasing severe weather and excessive rainfall threats over the
Central U.S. through early next week...
...Sweltering heat continues across South Florida and southern Texas,
building into the southern High Plains this weekend...
Stormy conditions should wind down across the central Gulf coast while
persisting along a quasi-stationary boundary over Florida through Sunday.
Attention shifts toward the Central U.S. on Sunday and into early next
week as a deep mid-level low digs into the West. A surface low pressure
system will bring heavy rain and thunderstorms to parts of the Great
Plains and Upper/Middle Mississippi Valley on Sunday. Despite the
Excessive Rainfall threat being Marginal (at least 5%), the Storm
Prediction Center issued an Enhanced Risk (level 3/5) of Severe
Thunderstorms across portions of western and central Kansas on Sunday.
Significant damaging gusts, large to very large hail, and a few tornadoes
are all possible according to the SPC. A Slight Risk (level 2/5) of Severe
Thunderstorms is in effect for portions of Nebraska, Kansas, southwest
Iowa and northwest Missouri. Hail and strong wind gusts will be the
primary threats from these storms. Additionally, some light snow to
moderate snowfall is possible on the backside of this system in the
Northern Rockies over the next couple of days.
Intense Summer-like heat will continue over portions of South Florida and
southern Texas this weekend, and expand in coverage into portions of the
southern High Plains. Forecast highs will be in the 90s for Florida with
mid-90s to mid-100s in Texas, potentially record-tying/breaking levels.
When combined with the humidity, heat indices will soar to near 110 in
South Florida. While not quite as hot, temperatures will still be well
above average more broadly across much of the country this weekend,
particularly from the Central Plains into the Midwest where highs in the
80s to near 90 will be common. Highs will also be above average for
portions of the West, with 70s and 80s in the Great Basin/interior
California and 90s to low 100s in the Desert Southeast. More temperate,
below average conditions are expected along much of the East Coast, with
50s and 60s in New England and 60s and 70s into the
Mid-Atlantic/Carolinas. The Pacific Northwest/Northern Rockies will also
be cooler, with highs in the 50s and 60s expected here as well. Variable
temperatures are forecast for the Southeast due to ongoing storms, with
mainly 80s expected.
Unsettled weather with chances for excessive rainfall and severe
thunderstorms continues across the Southeast Saturday...
...Severe weather potential returns to the Central Plains on Sunday...
...Sweltering heat continues across South Florida and southern Texas,
building into the southern High Plains this weekend...
A wet Saturday is in store for the Southeast as an upper-level wave and
associated surface frontal system focused along the Gulf Coast lead to a
broad area of showers and thunderstorms. Rich moisture along and south of
this boundary may lead to some locally heavy downpours, with a Slight Risk
of Excessive Rainfall (level 2/4) in place for portions of southern
Alabama, southwestern Georgia, and the Florida Panhandle. An expected
round of widespread, organized thunderstorms over wet soils from storms
already occurring overnight Friday will lead to the threat of some
scattered instances of flash flooding. Some storms will also carry the
threat for damaging winds and an isolated tornado or two, with a Slight
Risk of severe weather (level 2/5) extending eastward further into
southern Georgia and northern Florida. Moderate to locally heavy rainfall
will be possible elsewhere to the north of the boundary, with a few
additional isolated instances of flash flooding possible. Additional
showers will expand northward into the Mid-Atlantic, and onshore flow
ahead of a system over the Atlantic will bring showers to New England as
well, but these should remain lighter than those over the Southeast. Storm
chances will taper off from west to east for much of the Southeast
overnight Saturday and into early Sunday as the northern part of the
frontal system pushes eastward into the Atlantic. A trailing cold front
will keep storms in the forecast for Florida Sunday.
...Dangerous and life-threatening flash flooding likely today for portions
of eastern Texas and western Louisiana...
...Potentially significant heavy rainfall threat spreads into portions of
southern Mississippi and western Alabama tomorrow...
...Sweltering heat continues across South Florida and South Texas into
this weekend...
The main weather story today remains the dangerous and life-threatening
flash flood potential over the Lower Mississippi Valley into the overnight
hours as widespread thunderstorms batter areas which are very vulnerable
to additional rainfall. Since the upgrade to a High Risk (level 4/4) of
Excessive Rainfall last night, little has changed this afternoon regarding
the placement and severity of the flash flooding threat in eastern Texas
and western Louisiana. Radar across east-central Texas this afternoon
depicts an expansive thunderstorm complex growing along a warm front, with
very moist and unstable air feeding into it to support continuous storm
development this afternoon. Going into the evening and overnight hours,
repeating of these thunderstorms containing very heavy rainfall rates
within the complex will lead to rainfall amounts of 5-8" today within the
High Risk area over eastern Texas and western Louisiana before the
thunderstorms migrate eastward by tomorrow morning. Remember, High Risks
for Excessive Rainfall are a BIG DEAL: 1/3 flood related fatalities and
4/5 flood related damages occur in WPC High Risks, so pay attention to the
latest warning information and NEVER drive or walk into floodwaters.
Flooding aside, the same storms are also capable of producing a few
tornadoes, severe wind, and hail, with the Storm Prediction Center
maintaining an Enhanced Risk (level 3/5) of severe weather over much of
the same area today.
By tomorrow morning, the threat of significant flash flooding will spread
east into southern Mississippi and western Alabama as the aforementioned
warm front stalls out over the Southeast. Once again, a very moist and
unstable atmosphere appears primed to support bouts of prolific heavy
rainfall, with multiple rounds of storms expected as multiple disturbances
aloft traverse the area. When combined with saturated soils from recent
heavy rainfall, a Moderate Risk (level 3/4) is in effect tomorrow with
areal rainfall amounts upwards of 2-5" (locally up to 7") possible. It
should be noted that there is some uncertainty with where the heaviest
rain falls owing to how the current storms in Texas behave later today, so
stay tuned for any adjustments to the forecast. Once again, severe weather
will also be an issue south of the warm front across the Gulf States, with
a Slight Risk (level 2/5) in effect for few tornadoes, very large hail,
and damaging wind.
The same warm front driving the thunderstorms will also contribute to
sweltering heat in South Florida and Texas. Recent experimental NWS
HeatRisk guidance continues to suggest moderate to locally major heat
related impacts will continue across these areas at least through Saturday
due to the combination of heat indices eclipsing 100 degrees, with little
overnight relief expected.
Unsettled weather persists across the Northeast and Central U.S today...
...Hazardous heat possible across South Florida and South Texas this week
...
...Significant flash flooding possible across portions of East Texas into
the Gulf States tomorrow and Friday...
Several focused areas of stormy and unsettled weather can be expected
today across the central and eastern parts of the Lower 48 as a series of
frontal systems gradually migrate eastward. Along the Eastern Seaboard,
coastal low pressure located over the southern DelMarVa will maintain
locally heavy rainfall chances over Eastern Long Island and Coastal New
England through tomorrow morning, with 2-3" of rain and isolated flash
flooding possible as the storm wraps up offshore. Much of this activity in
the Northeast will remain steady stratiform rainfall, with the bulk of
robust thunderstorms being confined to parts of the Mid-Atlantic and
Southeast. Thunderstorm coverage will be more widespread across the Plains
states this afternoon as a very warm and moist Gulf of Mexico airmass is
drawn northward ahead of a weak cold front. Severe weather is the big
story there, as the Storm Prediction Center has an Enhanced Risk (level
3/5) of severe thunderstorms across the Texas Panhandle and Southern
Kansas.
The same Gulf airmass will set the stage for a bout of unusually early hot
weather in South Florida and Texas, with heat indices exceeding 100
degrees possible. Owing to the combination of oppressive heat indices and
forecast record warm overnight temperatures in these areas, major
heat-related impacts are possible with this round of hot weather through
the work week according to experimental NWS HeatRisk guidance.
The forecast remains on track for widespread heavy rainfall across
portions of East Texas and West Mississippi tomorrow as repeat
thunderstorm complexes track across the region, where a Moderate Risk
(level 3/4) is in effect. Areal averages of 3 to 5 inches of rainfall is
forecast for the Moderate Risk area, and locally higher amounts will be
possible, which suggests numerous instances of flash flooding are likely
as the region is very sensitive to any additional rainfall. The threat is
expected to roll into Friday with another Moderate Risk depicted over
southern Mississippi and Alabama, as the environment is ripe for continued
thunderstorm development.
Unsettled weather spreads into parts of the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic, and
Southeast today...
...Hazardous heat possible across South Florida and South Texas this week
...
...Significant flash flooding possible across portions of East Texas and
Louisiana on Thursday...
A fairly weak frontal system centered over the Missouri Bootheel continues
to drive wet and unsettled weather east of the Mississippi River today,
with several areas of shower and thunderstorm activity noted across the
eastern half of the Lower 48. Through tomorrow morning, the Storm
Prediction Center maintains a Slight Risk of severe weather across the
Tennessee Valley and over North-Central Florida as thunderstorms organize
and intensify this afternoon. Severe hail and wind remain the primary
concerns, although a tornado or two is also possible. Isolated flash
flooding also can not be ruled out with some of these storms along the
slow moving front, with localized rainfall of 1-3" possible.
Across South Florida, persistent southwesterly winds ahead of an
approaching mid-level ridge axis will set the stage for very warm weather
beginning tomorrow, with heat indices exceeding 100 degrees possible.
Localized Major heat-related impacts are possible with this round of hot
weather through the work week according to experimental NWS HeatRisk
guidance. Hazardous heat also will build into South Texas tomorrow and
Thursday as a warm front returns northward from the Gulf of Mexico,
ushering in a very warm and moist airmass into the region.
Heat aside, this returning warm front will also set the stage for
potentially significant heavy rainfall across East Texas and Louisiana on
Thursday as training thunderstorms focus along the frontal boundary. The
current forecast calls for areal rainfall totals of 3-4" (locally higher)
in this region, which has seen a near continuous stream of heavy rainfall
over the last two weeks and is particularly sensitive to any additional
rain. Accordingly, a Moderate Risk (level 3/4) is in effect on the Day 3
Excessive Rainfall Outlook, which suggests numerous instances of flash
flooding are likely Thursday into Friday.
Severe thunderstorms and flash flooding will impact portions of the
Gulf Coast tonight and the Southeast on Tuesday...
...Above-average temperatures expected for South Florida and the West...
A slow-moving frontal boundary extending along the Gulf Coast will remain
a focus for unsettled weather, with severe thunderstorms and heavy rain
expected to impact portions of the region through Tuesday. Ongoing
showers and storms are likely to continue through tonight, with severe
storms expected from south-central and southeast Texas across southern
Louisiana, as well as the Florida Panhandle. The Storm Prediction Center
(SPC) has highlighted these areas with an Enhanced Risk (level 3/5) for
severe weather, indicating the potential exists for multiple corridors of
damaging winds, very large hail, and a few tornadoes. In addition to the
severe weather threat, abundant moisture pooling along front will support
heavy rainfall and the potential for flooding. A Slight Risk (level 2/4)
for excessive rainfall extends along the Gulf Coast from southeast Texas
through the Florida Panhandle, with a Moderate Risk (level 3/4) from
southeast Louisiana to the Florida Panhandle.
Drier air will push through the western Gulf Coast, confining the threat
for severe storms and heavy rainfall to northern Florida and southern
Georgia on Tuesday. SPC is indicating a Slight Risk (level 2/5) for
severe weather and WPC is highlighting the area with a Slight Risk for
excessive rainfall.
Further to the north, a low pressure system will drift slowly east,
spreading showers and thunderstorms from the lower Missouri and mid
Mississippi valleys to the Ohio Valley tonight. Showers and storms will
continue across these areas on Tuesday while expanding east through the
Mid-Atlantic and the Northeast. Unsettled weather will persist across the
Mid-Atlantic and the Northeast through Wednesday. A brief window of drier
weather over the Mississippi Valley late Tuesday into early Wednesday will
be followed by the next round of showers and storms that will begin to
spread into the region by late Wednesday.
Before impacting the central U.S. on Wednesday, this previously noted
system will spread showers and storms followed by much cooler temperatures
from the northern Rockies into central Rockies and High Plains on Tuesday.
Temperatures will remain well above-normal, with near to record high
temperatures expected across South Florida Tuesday and Wednesday. While
not expected to be record-setting, temperatures will build across much of
the West, reaching well-above normal highs across the region by
Risk for numerous instances of flash flooding will shift from eastern
Texas/central Louisiana late Sunday to the central Gulf Coast Monday...
...Showers and storms expected ahead of a cold front across the Central
Plains into the Mississippi Valley Monday, spreading into the Ohio Valley
and Interior Northeast by Tuesday...
...Generally above average temperatures expected for the West...
A southern stream upper-level wave and associated surface frontal system
traversing the south-central U.S. this weekend/early next week will
continue to bring extremely heavy rainfall and the threat for flash
flooding, as well as severe weather, from the Southern Plains to the
Southeast. The threat Sunday evening into early Monday morning will be
focused on portions of eastern Texas into central Louisiana where a
Moderate Risk of Excessive Rainfall (level 3/4) remains in place. Here,
abundant moisture and strong CAPE will lead to very heavy downpours with
additional rounds of storms focusing along a slow moving warm front
leading to several inches of rain on top of wet antecedent conditions.
Scattered to numerous instances of flash flooding remain possible
overnight Sunday. The system will continue eastward Monday, with the
threat of very to extremely heavy rainfall extending along the warm front
through the central Gulf Coast. A Slight Risk of Excessive Rainfall (level
2/4) stretches from eastern Texas to the Florida Panhandle, with a more
concentrated Moderate Risk centered on southeastern Louisiana to the far
western Florida Panhandle where the greatest confidence in coverage of
repeated storms producing intense downpours exist. The prospect of several
inches of rain could lead to numerous additional instances of flash
flooding Monday. Additionally, storms will also have the potential to
become severe, with a Slight Risk of severe weather from the Storm
Prediction Center stretching from central Texas to southwest Georgia and
the Florida Panhandle for the threat of very large hail, damaging winds,
and a few tornadoes. The warm front will begin to lift further
northeastward on Tuesday, with showers and storms extending towards the
Atlantic coast of the Carolinas and Georgia. Another Slight Risk of
Excessive Rainfall exists across this region southwestward through the
Florida Panhandle where a few additional scattered instances of flash
flooding will be possible.
Heavy rainfall and severe thunderstorm chances extend from the southern
High Plains to the lower Mississippi Valley over the next few days...
...Wet and cool conditions forecast across the Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic,
and Northeast this weekend...
...Well above average temperatures expected throughout the West and
north-central United States...
After a brief lull, active weather is anticipated to return to the
southern Plains tonight before spreading into the central/western Gulf
Coast and lower Mississippi Valley through early next week. A closed
upper-low over the Southwest and lingering frontal boundary extending from
the Gulf of Mexico to the southern Rockies is expected to be the trigger
for developing thunderstorms this evening. Isolated strong storms may
occur from southeast New Mexico to West Texas, with the potential for
large hail, strong wind gusts, and localized flash flooding. Unsettled
weather is also forecast to stretch into the central Rockies and central
High Plains. By Sunday, the aforementioned upper low is forecast to slide
eastward into the central Plains and shift thunderstorm chances eastward
throughout much of Texas and the lower Mississippi Valley. However, the
greatest threat with these storms are likely to be associated with flash
flooding, particularly throughout parts of eastern and north-central
Texas. Saturated ground conditions and additional heavy rain may lead to
numerous instances of flash flooding, with Waco, Texas and points eastward
to near the Louisiana border under a Moderate Risk (level 3/4) of
Excessive Rainfall on Sunday. Showers and thunderstorms are then forecast
to shift toward the central/western Gulf Coast and lower Mississippi
Valley, producing additional chances for flash flooding and severe
weather. Meanwhile, the northern end of the precipitation shield is
forecast to push ahead of a low pressure system swinging from the southern
Plains to the mid-Mississippi Valley, with a few inches of rain possible
into Kansas and Missouri by the end of the weekend.
Unsettled weather may also dampen weekend plans from the Great Lakes to
the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, as well the northern Plains. A low
pressure system tracking from the lower Great Lakes this evening to the
Mid-Atlantic coastline Sunday afternoon will spread showers across the
region, while also keeping temperatures on the cooler side. Further west,
a lingering frontal boundary may spawn scattered thunderstorms across the
northern Plains on Sunday.
A taste of summer is expected to continue for some folks as well above
average temperatures stretch from the West to the Midwest on Mother's Day.
Highs in the 70s and 80s will be widespread (90s in the Southwest), with
above average temperatures also impacting southern Texas and Florida into
Monday.
Wet weekend in store for portions of the Central/Southern Plains and
adjacent Rockies...
A pair of frontal systems will bring shower and storm chances from the
Great Lakes to the Mid-Atlantic this weekend...
Above average temperatures will spread across the West and
north-central U.S. this weekend...
A wet weekend is in store for portions of the Central/Southern Plains and
adjacent Rockies as a cooler, moist airmass has settled in north of a
frontal boundary stalled out just south of the U.S.-Mexico border.
Scattered, lighter showers through Friday evening/early Saturday will
become more widespread and heavier through the day Saturday, with isolated
flash flooding possible. Higher elevations of the central Rockies will see
some snow, though accumulations should remain much lighter compared to the
past couple of days. Then, on Sunday, the boundary will lift back
northward through Texas and into the Lower Mississippi Valley as a warm
front, bringing deeper moisture, higher instability, and the potential for
more intense downpours. A Slight Risk of Excessive Rainfall (level 2/5)
has been issued for portions of central/eastern Texas into the Lower
Mississippi Valley for the risk of scattered flash flooding, particularly
where antecedent conditions remain wet due to recent heavy rainfall in
eastern Texas.
To the east, shower and thunderstorm chances will taper off along the East
Coast Friday evening as a cold front pushes offshore, lingering longest
across Florida. Another frontal system dropping southeast from Canada will
bring some scattered showers and thunderstorms to the Upper Midwest/Great
Lakes overnight Friday, then spreading into the Upper Ohio
Valley/Appalachians and Mid-Atlantic during the day Saturday. Storms will
diminish overnight Saturday as this system departs the East Coast as well.
Yet another system is forecast to follow in its wake, bringing some
renewed scattered storm chances to the Great Lakes Sunday. Other areas of
the country should remain mostly dry through the weekend.
An upper-level ridge building over the West Coast and eastward into the
north-central U.S. is expected to lead to widespread well-above average
temperatures across those regions this weekend. Forecast highs Saturday
from California northward into the Pacific Northwest will range in the 80s
to low 90s. The focus for warmer temperatures will shift more into the
Interior West/Great Basin Sunday. While not quite as warm, temperatures
through the northern Rockies into the northern Plains will still be well
above average, with highs in the 70s to low 80s expected. These warmer
temperatures will spread into the Midwest by Sunday. In contrast, cooler,
below average temperatures are expected most elsewhere across the eastern
and central U.S. following the frontal passage. Forecast highs range from
the 50s and 60s in New England and the Mid-Atlantic, the 70s to low 80s
across the Southeast, and 60s and 70s into the Central/Southern Plains.
Areas of south Texas and Florida will remain warmer, with 80s and some 90s
forecast.
Broad area of showers and thunderstorms with the potential for severe
weather and flash flooding continues Thursday evening across the
Southeast/Southern Plains.
Storm chances linger along the East Coast from the Mid-Atlantic through
Florida Friday.
Widespread showers and thunderstorms expected along the
central/southern High Plains, with snow for higher elevations of the
central Rockies.
Well above average high temperatures forecast for portions of
California and the Pacific Northwest heading into the weekend...
A broad area of showers and thunderstorms will continue Thursday evening
and into early Friday morning ahead of a frontal boundary pushing
southeastward through the Southeast, Lower Mississippi Valley, and
Southern Plains. A broad Enhanced Risk of severe weather (level 3/5) from
the the Storm Prediction Center is in place for the threat of damaging
winds and a few tornadoes, as well as very large hail for locations
further west across the eastern half of Texas. In addition, the
combination of multiple rounds of organized storms passing through the
Lower Mississippi Valley/Southeast, and the prospect of robust
thunderstorms with intense downpours over Texas, has prompted a Slight
Risk of Excessive Rainfall for the same region, with some scattered flash
flooding possible. Additional storms will also continue in the
post-frontal airmass further north across the Midwest/Ohio
Valley/Mid-Atlantic as an upper-level wave passes by. Some locally heavy
rainfall will be possible here as well. The front will continue
southeastward Friday morning, with the focus for showers and storms
shifting towards the East Coast from the Mid-Atlantic south to Florida.
The threat of some damaging winds will remain possible with storms across
southern Georgia and the northern Florida Peninsula/Big Bend Region, with
a Slight Risk (level 2/5) of severe weather continuing through Friday.
Storms should come to an end through Friday evening for most locations as
the front pushes eastward off the coast except for areas of South Florida.
Another upper-level wave/surface frontal system dropping southeastward
from Canada will bring another round of some light to moderate showers and
thunderstorms to the Upper Midwest Friday afternoon and Lower Great
Lakes/Ohio Valley Friday evening. Storm chances will spread into the
Mid-Atlantic by Saturday.
To the west, the frontal boundary responsible for the storms over the
Southeast/Southern Plains will also bring a continued chances of showers
and storms along the central/southern High Plains and into the adjacent
Rockies as the boundary lingers through the region. Most lower elevation
areas will see light to moderate rainfall, though some heavier showers
will be possible heading into later Saturday evening for portions of west
Texas, with some isolated flash flooding possible. Higher elevations of
the central Rockies in Colorado along and east of the Continental Divide
will see accumulating snowfall through Friday, with some locally heavier
totals of 6-12" possible. Precipitation chances should linger through at
least Saturday evening, the end of the current forecast period.
Unsurprisingly, temperatures will tend to be below average across much of
the eastern/central U.S. and into the central/southern Rockies following
the passage of the cold front. Forecast highs Friday-Saturday range from
the 50s and 60s in New England and the Mid-Atlantic west through the Great
Lakes, with 60s and 70s southwest through the Ohio Valley/Middle
Mississippi Valley and into the Southern Plains. Highs will remain warmer
ahead of the front across the Southeast/Lower Mississippi Valley into
southern Texas on Friday, with 80s generally expected, before temperature
drop for most locati
Severe thunderstorms and flash flooding are likely from parts of the
Ozarks to the Tennessee Valley tonight before the severe weather threat
shifts south on Thursday toward the Southern Plains and Southeast...
...Heavy mountain snow and and moderate lower elevation rain gradually
wanes across the Northern Rockies on Thursday...
...Above average temperatures remain across southern Texas and the
Southeast, while warmth also begins to build into the Northwest
late-week...
Active weather is ongoing and expected to continue through tonight across
parts of the middle/lower Mississippi valleys, Tennessee Valley, and into
the southern Appalachians. The atmospheric setup includes an upper low
over the Northern Plains with associated troughing extending into the
Southwest, allowing for moist southerly flow into the Mid-South. A
quasi-stationary boundary extending into the Ohio Valley and detached
outflow boundary in the Tennessee Valley will provide a focus for storms
to develop and track along. Numerous thunderstorms are expected to become
severe and possibly contain very large to giant hail, damaging wind gusts,
and some strong tornadoes possible. The Storm Prediction Center has issued
a Moderate Risk (level 4/5) of severe weather between south-central
Missouri to Middle Tennessee and south-central Kentucky. Additionally, as
storms overlap with saturated soil from earlier rainfall and train behind
one another, numerous instances of flash flooding are possible. The
greatest risk for flash flooding is across southwestern Kentucky and
Middle Tennessee, where a Moderate Risk (level 3/4) of Excessive Rainfall
is in effect. By Thursday, the overnight thunderstorm activity is
anticipated to sink southward and impact areas from the Southern Plains to
the Southeast. Very large hail appears probable across parts of central
Texas and into the ArkLaTex region, with a broader region of severe hail
and damaging wind potential extending through the lower Mississippi Valley
into the Southeast. Areas of flash flooding are also possible along this
corridor stretching between eastern Texas and central Georgia. As the
associated cold front continues to push south and east on Friday, the
scattered thunderstorms threat is expected to linger, but remain confined
to the Southeast.
A long duration heavy precipitation event is also ongoing throughout the
Northern Rockies and parts of the northern High Plains through at least
Thursday. The upper low over the Northern Plains continues to funnel
moisture into favorable upslope regions of Montana and Wyoming. Heavy snow
remains probable into tonight across the higher elevated ranges, with
moderate rainfall in the lower elevations. As the upper low weakens and
becomes more elongated, precipitation is also expected to weaken while
also sliding southward into the central/southern Rockies. Additionally,
the well below average temperatures are forecast to remain throughout the
Rockies with a warmer trend beginning by the end of the week.
Warm weather for the final few days of the workweek can be expected across
the Northwest, Southeast, Gulf Coast, and southern Texas. Locations in
these regions can anticipate highs around 10 to 15 degrees above average,
with a few daily record highs potentially being tied/broken. As far as
actual high temperatures go, southern Texas will be by far the hottest
with highs into the triple digits and upper 90s. Low-to-mid 90s are
forecast across Florida on Thursday, with 80s and 90s throughout the rest
of the Gulf Coast and Southeast. Meanwhile, the Pacific Northwest will
also need to break out the summer clothing and stay hydrated as highs soar
into the 80s by Friday, with low 90s possible in localized interior valley
locations from central Californ
Severe thunderstorm and flash flood threat forecast across much of the
Midwest, Tennessee and Lower Mississippi valleys, as well as into parts of
the Southern Plains over the next few days...
...Heavy snow to impact the Northern Rockies with well below average
temperatures throughout much of the Rockies and Intermountain West...
...Triple digit and potentially record-breaking heat over southern Texas
on Wednesday and Thursday...
A mature and vertically stacked low pressure system over the Northern
Plains, along with its attached frontal boundaries, are expected to be the
driving force behind much of the impactful weather to affect the Lower 48
over the next few days. This low is expected to begin weakening tonight
and slide eastward into the Ohio Valley by Thursday before approaching the
Mid-Atlantic by early Friday. As it eventually makes the trek eastward,
several chances for severe weather and heavy rain are possible from the
Midwest and Ohio Valley to the Southern Plains, Lower Mississippi and
Tennessee valleys. The threat this evening starts in the Midwest,
specifically over Indiana, western and central Ohio, and northern
Kentucky. A few storms in this region could produce large to very large
hail, damaging wind gusts, and a few (some strong) tornadoes.
Additionally, isolated flash flooding is possible from downpours
associated with the strong thunderstorms. By Wednesday, the severe weather
and heavy rain threat is expected to shift southward along a gradually
lifting warm front extending from the mid-Mississippi to the Ohio Valley.
The Storm Prediction Center has issued a rather expansive Enhanced Risk
(level 3/5) from northeast Texas to far western Virginia, which includes
much of the lower Ohio Valley, Tennessee Valley, and middle to lower
Mississippi Valley. Scattered to numerous thunderstorms appear likely in
this region, with all modes of severe weather possible. The greatest flash
flooding threat also overlaps with the risk of severe thunderstorms,
centered over Kentucky and Tennessee as well sections of neighboring
states. Residents and visitors are advised to have multiple ways of
receiving warnings and never drive across flooded roadways. As the cold
front shifts further south on Thursday the active weather will reposition
to the Southeast and Gulf Coast States, where additional rounds of
scattered severe thunderstorms and flash flooding are possible.
The active spring pattern continues across much of the Plains into the
Great Lakes/Ohio Valley...
...Severe weather threat Monday afternoon into Monday night from the
Central to Southern Plains into the Lower Missouri Valley, spreading into
the Ohio Valley Tuesday...
...Heavy rains and flooding possible across portions of the Northern High
Plains and eastern portions of the Central to Southern Plains...
...Elevated to Critical Fire weather conditions across the Southern High
Plains...
...Late season heavy snows for the Northern Rockies...
...Much below average temperatures expected across the Great Basin,
Central to Northern Rockies, while above average temperatures are forecast
across much of the Plains to the east coast...
There is no let up in sight for the active Spring time weather pattern
across large portions of the nation. The next strong frontal boundary is
forecast to push into much of the Plains tonight and into the Upper
Mississippi Valley, Great Lakes and Ohio Valley regions on Tuesday.
Thunderstorm activity currently beginning to develop across portions of
the Central Plains is expected to continue strengthen and expand across
portions of the Central to Southern Plains late this afternoon into Monday
night and spread eastward into the Lower Missouri Valley by early Tuesday.
There is a moderate to high risk of severe weather across portions of the
Central to Southern Plains with large hail, high winds and tornadoes
possible. Along with the severe weather threat, heavy rains are also
likely across eastern portions of the Central to Southern Plains from from
the eastern Dakotas, south through southwest Minnesota, much of Iowa,
western Missouri, eastern Nebraska, eastern Kansas and northeast Oklahoma.
Across these areas the expected heavy rains may lead to areas of flash
and river flooding. Heavy rains and flooding also possible across
portions of the Northern High Plains from eastern Montana into far
northeast Wyoming. This next batch of heavy rains will be falling well to
the north of portions of Texas that have seen very heavy amounts over the
past week.
The heavy rain, flooding and severe weather threat will be pushing farther
to the east during Tuesday with areas from the Ohio Valley, northward into
the Great Lakes having the potential for highly impactful weather. This
impactful weather will likely continue across the Ohio Valley region on
Wednesday and expand into the Tennessee Valley and Mid to Lower
Mississippi Valley as addition heavy rains, severe storms and flooding
develop ahead of the next strong system to push into the Mississippi
Valley by mid week.
No precipitation is expected over the next few days across the Southern
High Plains. This along with lower relative humidities and windy
conditions will support an elevated to critical fire weather threat over
the next several days from southeast Colorado, the Texas/Oklahoma
Panhandle region, south through much of New Mexico and far West to
Southwest Texas. Red Flag warnings are currently in effect across these
area for the extended period of fire weather danger.
A deep upper low will bring windy and much colder weather across a
large portion of the western U.S. as well as heavy mountain snow through
the next couple of days.
Heavy rain and possibly severe thunderstorms over southern Texas and
Mid-Mississippi Valley this evening will taper off as a higher threat of
heavy rain and severe thunderstorms quickly emerges over the north-central
Plains later on Monday.
Severe thunderstorms and heavy rain threats will shift east into the
Ohio Valley and the Great Lakes on Tuesday.
A rapidly intensifying cyclone will bring wind-swept rain across the
northern High Plains Monday into Tuesday with wet snow across the
high-elevations of the northern Rockies.
A rather vigorous and deep upper-level low continues to push farther into
the western U.S. bringing windy and much colder weather across a large
portion of the region. Heavy wet snow across the higher elevations of the
Great Basin and a good portion of the Pacific Northwest into the northern
Rockies will expand eastward into the central Rockies by tonight. This
system will also bring quite a bit of wind, especially as a potent cold
front passes through the Four Corners region to Wyoming this evening,
before spreading into the Rockies and much of the High Plains on Monday as
a cyclone is forecast to intensify rapidly over the northern High Plains.
An additional foot or more of heavy wet snow is expected to accumulate
along the Cascades in Oregon, as well as much of the northern and central
Rockies through Tuesday. In addition, severe thunderstorms are expected
to develop over the central Plains later on Monday ahead of a potent cold
front. These thunderstorms will tend to intensify and track toward the
north-northeast into the northern Plains and the upper Midwest Monday
night where the potent cold front and a warm front collide. Meanwhile,
the center of the deep cyclone will then track across the northern Plains
with wind-swept rain impacting the northern High Plains on Monday. The
cyclone center is forecast to meander over the northern Plains on Tuesday
with the threat of heavy rain and high winds continuing across
northern/eastern Montana while cold air wrapping around the deep cyclone
will support heavy wet snow over the northern Rockies.
Meanwhile across the eastern two-thirds of the country, the strong to
severe thunderstorms found over southern Texas into the mid-Mississippi
Valley are expected to gradually taper off into scattered showers and
thunderstorms later tonight as the associated upper-level disturbance
weakens. Farther east along the East Coast, some showers and embedded
thunderstorms over the Mid-Atlantic as well as a large swath of moderate
rainfall over New England are expected to slide off the coast by Monday
morning. Meanwhile, the scattered showers and some embedded thunderstorms
associated with the weakened upper-level disturbance will slide eastward
and bring unsettled weather across the Tennessee Valley into the Southeast
and up into the Mid-Atlantic states through Tuesday. Also on Tuesday, the
Ohio Valley, Midwest, into the Great Lakes will see more widespread
showers and possibly severe thunderstorms moving in as the lead frontal
systems from the northern Plains cyclone quickly arrive.
The cool and dreary weather from the Mid-Atlantic to New England will
gradually give way to warmer temperatures. In contrast, much cooler
weather will continue to penetrate the western U.S. with the
passage of the deep and vigorous upper trough/low along with windy and
inclement weather closer to the elongated cyclone. Finally, windy and dry
conditions are forecast to raise the danger of wild fires across the
southern Rockies through the next few days.
A deep upper low will bring heavy mountain snow and windy conditions
across a large portion of the western U.S. through the next couple of
days...
...A slight chance of severe thunderstorms across Texas and upper Midwest
into Sunday will shift into the central Plains by later on Monday...
...Critical fire danger is forecast for the southern Rockies...
A rather vigorous and deep upper-level low currently approaching the West
Coast will result in the next wave of active and stormy weather to quickly
sweep through the western U.S. and into the Great Plains during the next
couple of days. Moderate to heavy rain and high-elevation heavy wet snow
are already reaching into the West Coast in earnest, especially across
central to northern California. The precipitation will expand quickly
inland across the Great Basin and a good portion of the Pacific Northwest
through tonight, reaching into the northern Rockies on Sunday, followed by
the central Rockies on Monday. This system will bring quite a bit of
wind, especially across southern California and Nevada through tonight,
from the Four Corners region to Wyoming on Sunday before overspreading
much of the High Plains on Monday. Two feet or more of heavy wet snow is
expected to accumulate along the Cascades in Oregon, with a foot along the
Sierra Nevada, and a foot or more for portions of the northern Cascades,
Great Basin, as well as northern and central Rockies through Monday. In
addition, severe thunderstorms are expected to develop over the central
Plains later on Monday ahead of a potent cold front. Meanwhile, the
center of an elongated deep low pressure system is forecast to track
across the northern Plains with wind-swept rain impacting the northern
High Plains on Monday.
Heavy rain, significant flooding, and severe weather concerns remain
across parts of eastern Texas and the southern Plains through the
weekend...
Heavy mountain snow and gusty winds to enter much of the West, Great
Basin, and Rockies over the next few days...
Below average temperatures and showers impact the Mid-Atlantic and
Northeast into the end of the weekend...
Slow-moving thunderstorms containing intense rainfall rates are ongoing
this afternoon throughout parts of southeastern Texas just north of the
Houston metro area, which are leading to a continuing threat of flash
flooding. Ongoing significant to catastrophic flooding throughout parts of
eastern Texas from prior heavy rain will only exacerbate the flash, urban,
and river flooding threat from additional rainfall into this evening.
Newly formed thunderstorms developing off a southern High Plains dryline
could lead to isolated to scattered flash flooding across central Texas as
well tonight, but the main hazard associated with these storms are
forecast to be associated with giant hail, damaging wind gusts, and a few
tornadoes. Farther north, a potent cold front exiting the central High
Plains and progressing into the mid-Mississippi Valley by Saturday is also
expected to spark a line of showers and thunderstorms capable of producing
heavy rain and severe thunderstorms, mainly throughout parts of Kansas and
Nebraska.
By this weekend, the aforementioned cold front is expected to continue
progressing eastward through the Midwest and Ohio Valley. The tail end of
of this frontal boundary reaching westward to the southern Plains will be
the focus for additional thunderstorm activity and the potential for flash
flooding. A Slight Risk (level 2/4) of Excessive Rainfall has been issued
for central and north-central Texas on Saturday, with the threat area
shifting east on Sunday, extending from eastern Texas to southwest
Missouri and far southeast Kansas. Additionally, severe thunderstorms are
possible, with the greatest risk anticipated on Saturday in the Permian
Basin of West Texas. Several storms may produce large to giant hail and a
couple strong tornadoes.
An anomalously strong upper-level low entering northern California on
Saturday night is forecast to spread moderate to heavy precipitation and
gusty winds into the western U.S. and Great Basin this weekend. Heavy
mountain snow in the Sierra Nevada and Oregon Cascades is likely to add up
to over a foot (mainly above 6000 feet) on Saturday. As the system
continues to swing eastward, gusty southerly winds up to 60 to 80s mph are
possible in the central Great Basin and the Sierra Nevada, where High Wind
Warnings have been issued. The associated precipiation and gusty winds
will shift eastward as the upper-level low crosses the Intermountain West
on Sunday. Residents and visitors through are advised to check local
conditions before traveling, especially throughout exposed elevated
roadways.
Showers are also expected to dampen the first weekend in May throughout
much of the Great Lakes and eastern United States. Most precipitation
should remain scattered, with thunderstorm chances in the Southeast, Ohio
and Tennessee valleys. A backdoor cold front sinking through the
Mid-Atlantic today will allow for additional shower activity and below
average temperatures this weekend. Highs are only expected to reach the
50s and 60s as cloud cover and cool air streaming off the Atlantic keep
temperatures 10 to 20 degrees below average between the Mid-Atlantic and
New England when compared to climatology for the dates.
The active weather pattern to continue across the Central to Southern
Plains with potential for additional severe weather, heavy rains and flash
flooding...
...Wetter weather pattern for the Ohio Valley into the Mid-Atlantic, along
with cooler weather...
...Strong front to move into the Pacific Northwest and northern California
this weekend producing widespread heavy precipitation and late season
mountain snows...
The recent active spring weather pattern across large portions of the
central U.S. expected to continue over the next few days. A surface
frontal boundary currently stretching from the Southern Plains into the
Great Lakes and a second front forecast to sink southward from the Central
Plains into the Southern Plains will be the focus for the potential for
additional showers and thunderstorms. Severe weather is possible across
portions of the Central to Southern Plains near these fronts, along with
heavy rains and localized flash flooding. Flood watches are currently in
effect across portions of southern Oklahoma, eastern Texas into northwest
Louisiana. Moderate to major river flooding is occurring across these
area from recent heavy rains, with additional heavy rain potential
possibly exacerbating ongoing flooding conditions. While conditions have
been wet across the Central to Southern Plains toward the Mid to Lower
Mississippi Valley of late, drier conditions have persisted farther to the
east. Some relief from the recent dry weather across the east on tap over
the next few days with some much needed rains falling from the Ohio Valley
into the Mid-Atlantic. Cooler temperatures also expected for the late week
and into the weekend across portions of the Northeast into the
Mid-Atlantic. Record high temperatures across portions of the
Mid-Atlantic and Ohio Valley on Thursday will replaced with much cooler
temperatures from a combination of cloud cover, rainfall and winds blowing
off the still cool western Atlantic.
A strong cold front will be pushing inland into the Pacific Northwest late
Friday and into northern California on Saturday. This front will be
producing some late season heavy precipiation totals across much of
northern California, north through the Oregon Cascades, southern
Washington Cascades and from the Olympic Range of Washington, southward
along the Washington and Oregon coasts. Late season snows are possible
through the Oregon and Washington Cascades and the northern to Central
Sierra Range with accumulations in excess of a foot possible across the
northern Sierra. In addition to the heavy precipitation and late season
snows associated with this strong front, temperatures will be much below
average across much of the West coast on Saturday with highs 10 to 20
degrees colder than average. These colder than average temperatures are
expected to persist through Sunday while also spreading farther inland
into the Great Basin and portions of the Southwest.
Severe thunderstorm and flash flooding threat exists across parts of
the central/southern Plains tonight before expanding into the Mississippi
Valley on Thursday...
Critical Fire Weather potential over portions of the Southern High
Plains through this evening.
Cool and snowy in parts of the Northwest with above average and
potentially record breaking temperatures into the Ohio Valley and
Mid-Atlantic on Thursday
A very active start to May is underway throughout much of the central and
southern Plains as scattered to numerous thunderstorms developing this
afternoon are forecast to continue into the overnight hours. Low pressure
strengthening over the central High Plains and an attached warm front
extending through the mid-Mississippi Valley will help draw ample moisture
northward from the Gulf of Mexico. Meanwhile, convection forming off a
southern High Plains dryline should push eastward across parts of Oklahoma
and Texas, with several storms potentially containing very heavy rainfall
and training over similar regions. The flash flooding risk is highest
across parts of central and eastern Texas through tonight, where a
Moderate Risk (level 3/4) of Excessive Rainfall is in effect. Several
inches of rain falling over sensitive and previously saturated terrain
could lead to numerous flash floods, with a few significant flooding
events possible. Additionally, a Slight Risk (level 2/4) of Excessive
Rainfall extends northward into central Oklahoma and all of north-central
Texas, with a separate Slight Risk in effect from north-central Kansas to
western Iowa. These regions can also expect scattered thunderstorms
containing intense rainfall rates and possible instances of flash flooding
through early Thursday. These evening and overnight thunderstorms are also
expected to contain damaging wind gusts, large hail, and a few tornadoes
from West Texas to south-central Kansas. These regions fall within an
Enhanced Risk (level 3/5) of severe thunderstorms issued by the Storm
Prediction Center. As the low pressure system and attached cold front
gradually swings eastward into the Upper Midwest and Mississippi Valley on
Thursday, showers and thunderstorms are also expected to expand eastward.
Scattered severe thunderstorms and flash flooding are possible between a
large area stretching from the Midwest to southern Plains and Lower
Mississippi Valley, with the threat becoming more isolated across the
Plains and Deep South on Friday. Residents and visitors are reminded to
have multiple ways to receive warnings and never drive across flooding
roadways.
One additional hazard in the central U.S. due to the potent weather system
impacting the region will be the increased fire weather concerns over the
southern High Plains through this evening. Low relative humidity combined
with gusty winds and dry terrain could cause wildfires to develop easily
and spread rapidly. Red Flag Warnings are in effect and stretch from
eastern New Mexico to southeast Colorado, far west Oklahoma, and the
northwest Texas Panhandle.
Elsewhere, a weather pattern consisting of upper-level riding over the
East and troughing over the Northwest will support cooler weather in the
northern Rockies and Northwest with summer-like warmth spreading from
parts of the Midwest to the Mid-Atlantic. In addition to the below average
temperatures in the Northwest, snow is likely across the high terrain of
the northern Rockies through Friday. Meanwhile, the above average warmth
throughout the Midwest, Ohio Valley, and Mid-Atlantic could break daily
high temperature records on Thursday as highs reach into the upper 80s and
low 90s. Cooler in New England
Severe Weather and Excessive Rainfall concerns for parts of the
Upper/Middle Mississippi Valley and Great Plains through mid-week...
...Moderate Risk of Excessive Rainfall now in place for the Ark-La-Tex
Thursday...
...Critical Fire Weather potential over portions of the Southern High
Plains on Wednesday...
...Cool and snowy in the Northwest; above average conditions continue
across much of the Central and Eastern U.S....
Mean ridging over the eastern U.S. with an energetic upper-level trough
over the north-central/northwestern U.S. will keep most of the active
weather over the next few days over portions of the Upper/Middle
Mississippi Valley and Great Plains. Showers and thunderstorms will
continue into Tuesday evening as an upper-level wave/surface frontal
system over the Central Plains moves to the northeast through the
Upper/Middle Mississippi Valley. There is an Enhanced Risk (level 3/5) of
severe weather from the Storm Prediction Center through Tuesday evening
from central Iowa southwestward through northeastern Kansas for the threat
of very large hail, damaging winds, and a few tornadoes. Additional storms
further to the southwest along a trailing cold front will lead to a risk
for some locally heavy rainfall totals as storm motions stall in tandem
with the slowing cold front. Some scattered instances of flash flooding
will be possible from southeastern Kansas into northern Oklahoma with a
Slight Risk of Excessive Rainfall (level 2/4) in place.
As this system departs to the into the Great Lakes, another upper-level
wave approaching from the west over the Rockies will help to
reinforce/organize the trailing frontal system over the Central High
Plains. This will bring yet another round of showers and thunderstorms
across the Plains Wednesday. Severe storms are expected ahead of a dryline
over portions of the Central/Southern Plains. A broad Slight Risk is in
place for very large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes, with a localized
Enhanced Risk over southwest Kansas/northwestern Oklahoma. Dry, windy
conditions behind the dryline will also bring a heightened threat of
wildfires, with a Critical Risk of Fire Weather (level 2/3) issued by the
Storm Prediction Center for the Southern High Plains.
Storms are expected to cluster/expand in coverage into the evening hours
Wednesday as the frontal system lifts into the Middle Missouri Valley. A
southern stream upper-level wave will help lead to a second area of
enhanced convective development over portions of southern Oklahoma into
much of the eastern half of Texas. In both cases, plentiful moisture and a
strong low level jet will help foster locally intense rainfall, with
Slight Risks of Excessive Rainfall for the threat of scattered flash
flooding. Both areas of storms are forecast to continue into the day
Thursday with daytime heating bringing the potential for additional
development from the Upper-Mississippi Valley south-southwestward through
the Lower Missouri Valley and into the Ark-La-Tex. A broad Slight Risk of
Excessive Rainfall has been issued for the region, with a targeted
Moderate Risk (level 3/4) now in place for the Ark-La-Tex. Wet antecedent
conditions due to rainfall from any initial storms followed by the
prospects of additional development will continue the threat for flash
flooding.
Severe weather threat returns to the northern and central Plains on
Tuesday, followed by severe weather and heavy rain/flash flooding threats
farther down the central Plains on Wednesday...
...More high-elevation snows expected across the Pacific Northwest into
the northern and central Rockies for the next couple of days...
...Warmer than average temperatures across the southern tier states to the
Midwest and Mid-Atlantic but cold and windy across the Northwest...
The weather pattern that keeps sending fast-moving disturbances across the
western U.S. will continue to form new low pressure systems in quick
succession over the mid-section of the country through the next couple of
days. The latest low pressure system that brought severe weather and
flash flood emergencies over eastern Texas, together with widespread cold
rain across the northern U.S., to wet snow near the Canadian border, will
weaken as it tracks northeast across the Great Lakes into southern Canada
on Tuesday. Meanwhile, the heaviest thunderstorms and severe weather
associated with the trailing front had moved off the Louisiana coast.
Less intense showers and thunderstorms are expected to push eastward
across the Mid-South, Tennessee and Ohio Valleys toward the Appalachians
and New England on Tuesday, before becoming more widely scattered along
the Eastern Seaboard into Wednesday morning. Snowfall on the order of
6-12 inches are forecast to accumulate over parts of the Cascades and
northern Rockies increasing to nearly 2 feet over the higher elevations of
Glacier National Park.
As the surge of cold air pushes through the Northwest on Tuesday with the
leading cold front reaches the northern and central Plains, a couple of
low pressure systems are forecast to develop. The low pressure system
that will move across the upper Midwest will bring a threat of severe
thunderstorms across the northern and central Plains ahead of the trailing
cold front on Tuesday. Another low pressure system will develop over the
central Plains on Tuesday, this system will bring a higher threat of
severe weather and more widespread heavy rain threat farther south into
the central Plains later on Wednesday as the system intensifies.
Temperature-wise, fast-moving cold upper troughs propagating through the
Northwest and Northern Plains/Upper Midwest will keep things cooler than
average today. More cold air will push through the Pacific Northwest on
Wednesday. Meanwhile, a warming trend will send afternoon temperatures as
high as the lower 90s for the next couple of afternoons across the central
to southern High Plains. Temperatures will also be well above average
along the East Coast on Tuesday followed by a slight cool down on
Wednesday as a back-door cold front dips south from New England.
More rounds of excessive rainfall and severe weather expected to push
east and southeast toward the Lower Mississippi Valley through tonight
into Monday...
...High-elevation snow is forecast to overspread the Pacific Northwest
into the Northern Rockies Monday and Tuesday...
...Warmer than average temperatures spread from Midwest to Mid-Atlantic;
colder weather returns to the Northern Plains and the Pacific Northwest
with warming trend across the central/southern High Plains...
More active and unsettled weather is forecast to continue across the
mid-section of the country through the next couple of days as multiple
disturbances embedded within a slow-moving upper-level trough traverse the
western U.S. toward the Great Plains. The low pressure system responsible
for the latest outbreak of strong to severe thunderstorms across the
central to southern Plains today will continue to track northeast across
the upper Midwest on Monday. Another bout of strong to severe
thunderstorms can be expected to impact areas farther east across the
ArkLaTex region through tonight as the trailing cold front associated with
the low pressure system edges farther to the east. In addition, heavy
downpours associated with these storms will result in flooding concerns
across the region. By Monday, the highest threat of severe weather and
heavy rain will shift farther southeast toward to central Gulf Coast
region, mainly over Louisiana, as the front begins to weaken. A lower
risk of severe weather and heavy rain will extend farther northeast into
the Tennessee Valley on Monday.
Meanwhile, widespread cold rain is expected to continue through tonight
across the northern Plains, upper Midwest and toward the lower Great Lakes
ahead of the low pressure system and the associated warm front, with
embedded thunderstorms closer to the center of the low. Temperatures
could be cold enough to support wet snow Monday morning across portions of
the northern Plains into the upper Midwest. The rain will then shift
eastward into the western portion of New England, down across the Ohio
Valley toward the Appalachians on Tuesday as the low center moves into
southern Canada.
On the warm side of the low pressure system, strong southerly flow will
bring very warm air northward into the East Coast through the next couple
of days with high temperatures climbing well into the 80s and possibly
into the lower 90 degrees for the interior Mid-Atlantic. These
temperatures will be in contrast to the cool temperatures expected for the
Pacific Northwest by Monday as the next upper-level trough from the
Pacific is forecast to push inland. This trough will bring widespread
high-elevation snow and lower elevation rain across the Pacific Northwest
toward the northern Rockies on Monday with increasingly windy conditions
as a low pressure system begins to develop over the northern High Plains
into southern Canada. By Tuesday, the main front will move fairly quickly
across the northern and central Plains, with rapid development of showers
and thunderstorms expected across the upper Midwest in the afternoon ahead
of a warm front and a low pressure wave. Some thunderstorms may begin to
erput across the central Plains into Texas east of a dry line. Farther
west, warm downslope winds from the southern Rockies will set a warm trend
across the southern High Plains with high temperatures reaching into the
80s and lower 90s by Tuesday afternoon.
More rounds of excessive rainfall and severe weather expected to push
eastward across the southern Plains tonight reaching into lower
Mississippi Valley on Monday...
...Snow over central Colorado gradually tapers off tonight but
high-elevation snow is forecast to spread inland from the Pacific
Northwest into the northern Rockies on Monday...
...Critical Fire Weather Risk over portions of the Southern High Plains...
...Warmer than average temperatures spreads from Midwest into Mid-Atlantic
on Sunday while well below average temperatures shift from the Four
Corners and Rockies into the Northern Plains...
More active and unsettled weather is forecast to continue across the
mid-section of the country through the remainder of the weekend into
Monday. Multiple disturbances embedded within a slow-moving upper-level
trough responsible for the active weather are currently developing another
low pressure system over the central Plains. Showers and thunderstorms
are expected to erupt in the warm and unstable air ahead of the low
pressure system east of a dry line from northern Texas through central
Oklahoma into eastern Kansas. A moderate risk of severe weather is
forecast through tonight per the Storm Prediction Center with the
possibility of large hail, damaging winds and multiple tornadoes. In
addition to the severe weather, intense rainfall rates are expected to
accompany these thunderstorms at times, leading to a moderate to locally
high potential of flash flooding to occur in these areas through tonight.
By Sunday, the main area of thunderstorms will push farther eastward
toward the mid- and lower Mississippi Valley with a slightly lower threat
of severe weather. Meanwhile, the heaviest rains should push farther
southeast into the ArkLaTex region as the trailing cold front associated
with the low pressure system begins to weaken. The center of the low is
forecast to track northeast across the central Plains on Sunday, reaching
into the upper Midwest on Monday. Strong to locally severe thunderstorms
can be expected to extend northeast across these areas including the
Midwest ahead of a warm front to the east of the low pressure center.
Meanwhile, the threat of heavy rain will push farther southeast into the
lower to mid-Mississippi Valley as the cold front pushes eastward.
Meanwhile, snow on the backside of the low pressure system is forecast to
gradually taper off tonight over central Colorado, and so will the areas
of mixed rain/snow extending into the Four-Corners as the system moves
farther away into the central Plains. Meanwhile, another low pressure
system will begin to move away from the Great Lakes into Canada with
scattered showers ending over the upper Great Lakes but continuing from
the lower Great Lakes into New England. Strong southerly flow behind a
high pressure system will bring very warm air northward into the East
Coast through the next couple of days with high temperatures climbing well
into the 80s to possibly near 90 degrees for the interior Mid-Atlantic.
These temperatures will be in contrast to the cool temperatures expected
for the Pacific Northwest by Monday as the next upper-level trough from
the Pacific is forecast to push inland. This trough will bring widespread
high-elevation snow and lower elevation rain across the Pacific Northwest
toward the northern Rockies on Monday with increasingly windy conditions
as a low pressure system begins to develop over the northern High Plains
into southern Canada. Meanwhile, dry and warm winds sinking down the
southern Rockies will continue to keep a critical fire weather risk over
the southern High Plains.
There is a Moderate Risk of excessive rainfall over parts of the
Central/Southern Plains on Saturday...
...Heavy snow over the Central Rockies...
...There is an Enhanced Risk of severe thunderstorms over parts of the
Middle/Lower Mississippi Valley and Central/Southern Plains...
Low pressure over Central Plains will move northeastward into East-Central
Canada by Sunday morning. A second low develops over the Southern High
Plains by Saturday morning and likewise, move northeastward to the Middle
Mississippi Valley by Sunday. Showers and severe thunderstorms will
develop east of the dryline. Therefore, the SPC has issued an Enhanced
Risk (level 3/5) of severe thunderstorms over the Middle/Lower Mississippi
Valley and Central/Southern Plains through Saturday morning. The hazards
associated with these thunderstorms are frequent lightning, severe
thunderstorm wind gusts, hail, and a few tornadoes. In addition, there is
an increased threat of EF2- EF5 tornados and hail greater than two inches
over the Region.
Moreover, heavy rain will be associated with these storms. Therefore, the
WPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/4) of excessive rainfall over the
Middle/Lower Mississippi Valley and Southern Plains through Saturday
morning. The associated heavy rain will create mainly localized areas of
flash flooding, with urban areas, roads, small streams, and low-lying
areas the most vulnerable. Heavy snow will develop over the higher
elevations of the Central Rockies overnight Friday into Saturday.
On Saturday, the threat of severe thunderstorms continues, while the
threat of excessive rainfall increases over parts of southeastern Kansas,
southwestern Missouri, Oklahoma, and northeast-central Texas. Therefore,
the SPC has issued an Enhanced Risk (level 3/5) of severe thunderstorms
over the Middle Mississippi Valley and Central/Southern Plains from
Saturday into Sunday morning. The hazards associated with these
thunderstorms are frequent lightning, severe thunderstorm wind gusts,
hail, and a few tornadoes. In addition, there is an increased threat of
EF2- EF5 tornados and hail greater than two inches over the Region.
Furthermore, heavy rain will be associated with these storms. Therefore,
the WPC has issued a Moderate Risk (level 3/4) of excessive rainfall over
parts of the Middle Mississippi Valley and Central/Southern Plains. The
associated heavy rain will create numerous areas of flash flooding.
Furthermore, many streams may flood, potentially affecting larger rivers.
On Sunday, the threat of excessive rainfall decreases slightly. Therefore,
the WPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/4) of excessive rainfall over
the Middle/Lower Mississippi Valley and Southern Plains on Sunday. The
associated heavy rain will create mainly localized areas of flash
flooding, with urban areas, roads, small streams, and low-lying areas the
most vulnerable.
Similarly, the threat of severe thunderstorms decreases slightly on
Sunday, too. Therefore, the SPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/5) of
severe thunderstorms over parts of the Middle/Lower Mississippi Valley and
Central/Southern Plains on Sunday. The hazards associated with these
thunderstorms are frequent lightning, severe thunderstorm wind gusts,
hail, and a few tornadoes.
Meanwhile, upper-level troughing over the western third of the country and
onshore flow will produce rain and high elevation snow over parts of
Pacific Northwest, California, Great Basin, Northern Intermountain Region,
and Southwest through Saturday morning. The low elevation rain and higher
elevation snow continues over parts of the Northern/Central Rockies
through late Saturday night. On Sunday, the rain and higher elevation snow
returns to the Pacific Northwest.
An active weather pattern for much of the Plains into the Mid to Upper
Mississippi Valley regions...
...Thunderstorms to bring heavy rains, localized flash flooding and severe
weather to portions of the Plains...
...An elevated to critical fire weather threat across the Southern High
Plains...
..Cooler than average temperatures expected from the Rockies to the West
coast and from the Mid-Atlantic to the Northeast, while much above average
temperatures spread from the Southern Plains to the Great Lakes...
An active weather pattern expected across the mid section of the nation
from the Plains into the Mid to Upper Mississippi Valley. Two strong
storms expected to produce a variety of spring time weather over the next
several days across these regions. Thunderstorm activity occurring across
portions of the Central Plains, Lower Arkansas and Lower Missouri Valleys
Thursday afternoon will be expanding northward into the Northern
Plains/Upper Mississippi Valley region and southward into the Southern
Plains as the first of two strong lows to affect these regions begins to
deepen across the Central High Plains and move northeastward. There is
the likelihood of severe weather across much of the Central to Southern
High Plains from Thursday afternoon into Thursday night/early Friday along
and ahead of a strengthening frontal zone. This severe weather threat
will then push farther to the east during the day on Friday into eastern
portions of the Central to Southern Plains, Lower Missouri and Lower
Arkansas River Valleys as the strong cold front also pushes eastward. In
addition, heavy rains from the expected thunderstorm activity poses the
threat of localized flooding from this afternoon through Friday,
especially across the eastern portions of the Central to Southern Plains
into the into Lower Missouri and Lower Arkansas River Valleys. In the
wake of the first strong storm pushing northeastward into the Northern
Plains/Upper Mississippi Valley on Saturday, where it will produce
potential for moderate to heavy rainfall amounts, a second storm will
begin to deepen across the Central High Plains. Another round of
thunderstorms, heavy rains, flash flooding and severe weather is again
possible across the Southern Plains beginning Saturday afternoon and
continuing into Sunday.
In contrast to the wet, stormy weather across large portions of the mid
section of the nation, windy and dry conditions are expected across the
Southern High Plains from southeast Colorado, the Texas-Oklahoma Panhandle
region, southward through West to Southwest Texas and eastern to
southeastern New Mexico. The combination of the windy conditions and low
relative humidities will support a prolonged period of elevated to
critical fire weather conditions from Thursday through the weekend.
A frontal boundary moving off the northeast Pacific into the Pacific
Northwest this evening will keep conditions wet across the Pacific
Northwest and Northern Rockies tonight. This wet weather and high
elevation snows are then expected to spread into the Great Basin and
Central Rockies on Friday.
Temperatures are expected to be below average across most areas from the
Rockies to the West coast over the next few days. Much above average
temperatures Thursday across the Central and Northern High Plains will be
replaced by much cooler temps by the beginning of the weekend. Much above
average temperatures expected from the Southern Plains, northeast the
Mississippi Valley, Ohio Valley and into the Great Lakes over the next two
days, while cooler,slightly below average temperatures expected from the
Mid-Atlantic into the Northeast.
Unsettled weather and severe thunderstorm chances will continue to
expand across much of the central United States over the next several
days...
...Active fire weather pattern to emerge over the southern High Plains on
Thursday...
...Above average temperatures shift from the Great Basin to the Plains,
while the West and East remain cool through the end of the week...
An increasingly active weather pattern is beginning to unfold across the
mid-section of the country as an upper-level trough from the subtropical
eastern Pacific continues to head toward Baja California and the
Southwest. This trough is expected to interact with warm and moist air
returning from the Gulf of Mexico and produce an expanding area of showers
and thunderstorms gradually lifting northward of a warm front. The
initial stages of rain/thunderstorm formation are setting up across
Oklahoma into western Kansas this afternoon. Combined with a southern
High Plains dryline, a few developing thunderstorms could turn severe
tonight from West Texas to central Oklahoma, in addition to the chances
for isolated flash flooding. A greater severe weather threat is expected
to expand across the central Plains on Thursday as a surface cyclone
rapidly deepens in response to the approaching upper level trough. The
aforementioned warm front is expected to continue lifting northward while
the High Plains dryline pushes east. This environment is anticipated to
produce numerous thunderstorms across the central and southern Plains,
with scattered storms turning severe. The Storm Prediction Center has
issued an Enhanced Risk (level 3/5) for severe weather across parts of
southwest/south-central Kansas and western Oklahoma into the eastern Texas
Panhandle. Very large hail, severe wind gusts, and a couple strong
tornadoes will all be possible. Multiple rounds of heavy rain could also
lead to scattered flash flooding, which has prompted a Slight Risk (level
2/4) of Excessive Rainfall across parts of northeast Oklahoma, eastern
Kansas, western Missouri, and northwest Arkansas. By Friday, the low
pressure system is forecast to deepen and slide east across the central
Plains while shower and thunderstorm chances also push eastward into the
upper Midwest, mid- and lower Mississippi Valley, as well as the southern
Plains. Gusty winds will also expand across the central U.S. as the low
pressure system intensifies.
Behind the dryline across the southern High Plains, the combination of
very low relative humidity and gusty winds are expected to raise fire
danger to critical level on Thursday and Friday. Any fires that develop
will likely spread rapidly. Outdoor burning is not recommended.
Additionally, gusty winds up to 55 mph could lead to areas of blowing dust.
The Pacific Northwest should be the wettest region across the West through
the next couple of days as a Pacific low pressure system moves onshore.
The Coastal Ranges as well as the Cascades could receive a couple of
inches of rainfall with heavy wet snow possible across the higher
elevations.
A shower or two North Jersey, NYC and Eastern Pa ..... Fair Atlant... Showers and T-storms DFW
Unsettled weather and severe thunderstorm chances gradually expand
across parts of the central and southern Plains over the next couple of
days...
...Above average temperatures across much of the western half of the
country while cooler than normal weather prevails in eastern half...
The relatively benign weather pattern lately across the country is
expected to gradually become more active in the course of the next couple
of days as a low pressure system is forecast to develop and intensify over
the central Plains. The upper-level trough responsible for developing the
low pressure system is currently located over the subtropical eastern
Pacific, moving toward Baja California. This upper trough is forecast to
reach the southern Rockies on Thursday as the low pressure system
intensifies more rapidly over the central Plains later that day. Showers
and thunderstorms associated with the leading warm front across Oklahoma
Wednesday night is forecast to expand northward across the central Plains
during the day on Thursday and reach into the northern Plains by evening.
The thunderstorm activities will likely get stronger later in the
afternoon on Thursday over the central Plains ahead of a dry line. Winds
will also strengthen throughout the central Plains on Thursday as the low
pressure system intensifies.
In the meantime, a weak low pressure wave and a pair of cold fronts will
spark showers and embedded thunderstorms into tonight across the Great
Plains and parts of the Midwest. Some stronger thunderstorms may develop
over western Texas this evening associated with a cold front. By
later tonight, the Midwest should begin to clear out from the showers and
storms as they move into the Ohio Valley. Wednesday will see these storms
settling south across Oklahoma into the Tennessee Valley and into portions
of the Mid-Atlantic. Meanwhile, rapidly falling temperatures behind the
second cold front are expected to end the rain as a period of wet snow
across northern New England during the day on Wednesday. Meanwhile, the
trailing cold front entering the southern Plains will be the focus for
thunderstorms across the southern Plains on Wednesday, and they will
expand northward as the aforementioned low pressure system intensifies.
Elsewhere, unsettled weather is also in the forecast throughout parts of
the Great Basin and eventually the Pacific Northwest by Thursday as
initial upper ridging and well above average temperatures gradually erode.
Much of the rainfall is expected to be mostly beneficial outside of any
lightning potential with thunderstorms over the central Great Basin. Highs
throughout the southwest are anticipated to reach the 80s and 90s through
Wednesday, with 60s and 70s for much of the Intermountain West.
Cooler weather is in store for the Great Lakes and much of the eastern
U.S. behind the cold fronts. The cooler temperatures are forecast to
reach into the Carolinas on Thursday. Meanwhile, above average
temperatures will prevail across much of the western U.S. before the upper
trough brings cooler temperature as temperatures reach well up into the
80s to near 90 over the southern High Plains by Thursday afternoon.
Sunny 68 New York City and Philly Dry but Chilly Boston, Showers in Chicago
Above than average temperatures across West and Central U.S; Great
Lakes experience below average temperatures mid-week.
A quieter than normal period of weather is underway across the CONUS and
is forecast to continue until Thursday. Tonight, scattered showers and
thunderstorms will develop along a pair of cold fronts propagating through
the Northern/Central Plains and Upper Midwest. Some rain showers may also
occur along the SoCal coast as well. More scattered to isolated rain
showers and thunderstorms will spread into the Southern Plains, Lower
Mississippi Valley, Midwest and Great Lakes on Tuesday. Two low pressure
systems will consolidate and spread showers and thunderstorms across the
Northeast and Mid-Atlantic on Wednesday. Storms are also forecast to
develop over parts of the Southern Plains and Lower Mississippi Valley
Wednesday and continue into that evening.
An amplifying pattern over the eastern Pacific and Western CONUS will
influence temperatures over the next couple of days. Strong southerly flow
into the West/Southwest will support above average temperatures through
Wednesday. Temperatures will be above average over the High Plains as well
during this period. An upper trough moving through the Great Lakes on
Wednesday will support below average temperatures into the Northeast
through Thursday.
Temperatures will be above average over the Southwest; temperatures
will be below average from the Northeast to the Southeast, then to the
Southern Plains...
A front extending across the Florida Peninsula Coast will slowly move
southward of the Florida by Monday afternoon. Showers with strong to
severe thunderstorms will develop along the boundary. Therefore, the SPC
has issued a Marginal Risk (level 1/5) of severe thunderstorms over parts
of the Florida Peninsula through Monday morning. The hazards associated
with these thunderstorms are frequent lightning, severe thunderstorm wind
gusts, hail, and a minimal threat of tornadoes.
On Monday, the front moves south of Florida by afternoon. Showers with
strong to severe thunderstorms will develop over parts of the Florida
Peninsula until the boundary moves offshore. Therefore, the SPC has issued
a Marginal Risk (level 1/5) of severe thunderstorms over parts of the
Florida Peninsula through Monday afternoon. The hazards associated with
these thunderstorms are frequent lightning, severe thunderstorm wind
gusts, hail, and a few tornadoes.
Meanwhile, high pressure over the Middle Mississippi Valley/Southern
Plains will gradually shift eastward, reaching off the Southeast Coast by
Tuesday evening. Clear skies and light wind will help allow temperatures
to be 5 to 15 degrees below average from the Northeast to the Southeast
and then to the Southern Plains, which will experience a slight warming
trend by Tuesday afternoon. In contrast, temperatures will be 5 to 15
degrees above average over parts of the Southwest through Tuesday evening.
A second front over the Northern Rockies to the Great Basin will also move
eastward to the Great Lakes to the Southern Plains by Tuesday. On Monday,
as the boundary moves onto the Plains, a weak plume of moisture flows from
the Western Gulf of Mexico to the Upper Midwest, aiding in the development
of rain over parts of the Northern Plains and the Upper Mississippi Valley
overnight Monday into Tuesday. On Tuesday, the rain moves into the Great
Lakes. By Tuesday evening, the rain will extend from the Lower Great Lakes
southwestward to the Middle Mississippi Valley. Cold high pressure over
Hudson Bay will stream cold air over Lake Superior, developing light snow
over the southern shore of Lake Superior.
There is a Slight Risk of excessive rainfall over parts of the Southern
Plains/Lower Mississippi Valley...
Light snow over parts of the Cascades on Saturday night into Sunday.
Strong to severe thunderstorms from the southern Mid-Atlantic,
Southeast to the Southern Plains
A front extending from the Southeast westward to the Western Gulf Coast
will slowly move southward of the Florida Peninsula by Monday evening.
Showers with strong to severe thunderstorms will develop along the
boundary. Therefore, the SPC has issued a Marginal Risk (level 1/5) of
severe thunderstorms over parts of the Mid-Atlantic to the Central Gulf
Coast through Sunday morning. The hazards associated with these
thunderstorms are frequent lightning, severe thunderstorm wind gusts,
hail, and a minimal threat of tornadoes.
Additionally, a second area of showers with strong to severe thunderstorms
will develop over parts of the Southern Plains. Therefore, the SPC has
issued a Marginal Risk (level 1/5) of severe thunderstorms over parts of
the Southern Plains through Sunday morning. The hazards associated with
these thunderstorms are frequent lightning, severe thunderstorm wind
gusts, hail, and a few tornadoes.
The showers and thunderstorms will also produce heavy rain over parts of
the Southern Plains/Lower Mississippi Valley. Therefore, the WPC has
issued a Slight Risk (level 2/4) of excessive rainfall with these
thunderstorms through Sunday morning. The associated heavy rain will
create mainly localized areas of flash flooding, with urban areas, roads,
small streams, and low-lying areas the most vulnerable.
On Sunday, the strong to severe thunderstorm threat and the excessive
rainfall threat have come to an end. However, showers and thunderstorms
will continue over parts of the Southeast to the Central Gulf Coast.
Meanwhile, a front over the Pacific Northwest/Northern Intermountain
Region will move eastward to the Upper Mississippi Valley to the Central
Plains and then to the Great Basin by Monday evening. The system will
produce rain over parts of the Pacific Northwest Coast through Sunday
evening. Furthermore, overnight Saturday, light snow will develop over the
Cascades and parts of the Northern Intermountain Region by early Sunday
morning, ending overnight Sunday.
On Monday, as the boundary moves onto the Plains, a weak plum of moisture
flows from the Western Gulf of Mexico to the Upper Midwest, aiding in the
development of rain over parts of the Northern Plains and the Upper
Mississippi Valley. Elsewhere, a front moving across Florida will produce
showers with strong to severe thunderstorms.
There is a Slight Risk of excessive rainfall over parts of the Southern
Plains/Lower Mississippi Valley on Saturday.
Light to moderate snow over parts of the Central Rockies and Central
High Plains overnight Friday into Saturday and a second area of light snow
over the Cascades and Northern Intermountain Region on Sunday.
Strong to severe thunderstorms from the southern Mid-Atlantic,
Southeast to the Southern Plains on Friday and Saturday.
A front extending from Upstate New York southward to the Mid-Atlantic and
then westward to the Western Gulf Coast will move off the Northeast and
Mid-Atlantic Coast by Saturday afternoon. The boundary lingers along the
Gulf of Mexico Coast through Sunday evening. As the front moves into the
southern Mid-Atlantic/Southeast, showers with strong to severe
thunderstorms will develop over the area. Therefore, the SPC has issued a
Marginal Risk (level 1/5) of severe thunderstorms over parts of the
Mid-Atlantic/Southeast through Saturday morning. The hazards associated
with these thunderstorms are frequent lightning, severe thunderstorm wind
gusts, hail, and a minimal threat of tornadoes. The area of showers and
thunderstorms will extend into parts of the Lower Mississippi Valley and
the Southern Plains through Friday night. Moreover, rain will develop over
parts of the Northeast Friday night into Saturday as light snow showers
develop over parts of the Upper Great Lakes, ending by Saturday afternoon.
Overnight Friday into Saturday, upper-level energy and upslope flow
associated with strong high pressure over the Northern High Plains will
help produce light to moderate snow over parts of the Central Rockies and
Central High Plains.
On Saturday, as the front settles over the Gulf Coast, showers with strong
to severe thunderstorms will develop over parts of the Southern Plains and
Southeast. Therefore, the SPC has issued a Marginal Risk (level 1/5) of
severe thunderstorms over two areas, the Southern Plains/Western Gulf
Coast and the second area over the Southeast from Saturday into Sunday
morning. The hazards associated with these thunderstorms are frequent
lightning, severe thunderstorm wind gusts, hail, and a minimal threat of
tornadoes. The showers and thunderstorms will also produce heavy rain over
parts of the Southern Plains/Lower Mississippi Valley. Therefore, the WPC
has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/4) of excessive rainfall with these
thunderstorms. The associated heavy rain will create mainly localized
areas of flash flooding, with urban areas, roads, and small streams the
most vulnerable. On Sunday, the strong to severe thunderstorm threat has
come to an end.
However, showers and thunderstorms will continue over parts of the
Southeast to the Southern Plains. Meanwhile, a front will come onshore
over the Pacific Northwest Saturday afternoon and move eastward to the
Northern High Plains and Great Basin by Sunday evening. The system will
produce rain over parts of the Pacific Northwest Coast through Sunday
evening. Furthermore, overnight Saturday, light snow will develop over the
Cascades and parts of the Northern Intermountain Region by early Sunday
morning, continuing into Sunday evening.
Severe weather and isolated flash flooding mostly likely over the
Midwest into the Ohio Valley in early Friday with thunderstorms extending
southwest into Texas.
Wet snow and wintry mix over the central High Plains on Saturday as
heavy rain threat develops and expands over Texas.
Unseasonably warm across much of the South and Southwest as cold air
from Canada pours south into the Great Plains.
A relatively progressive weather pattern is forecast to establish across
the nation as we head into the weekend. This progressive pattern will
kick a relatively slow-moving low pressure system further out into the
Atlantic while allowing a cold air mass from Canada to pour southward into
the Great Plains. A low pressure wave currently developing along the
boundary of the cold air mass over the Midwest will bring an enhanced
threat of severe thunderstorms across the Midwest tonight, moving into the
Ohio Valley early on Friday. A slight chance of severe thunderstorms is
forecast to extend farther southwest into central Texas near the trailing
portion of the cold front. In addition to the severe weather threat, the
heavy rain associated with the thunderstorms may result in flash flooding
concerns at some places for aforementioned areas.
By Friday, the cold front is forecast to move steadily east toward the
East Coast. Showers and thunderstorms will likewise move farther east out
of the Ohio Valley and into the Appalachians, reaching into the interior
Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, and New England by Friday evening. The severe
weather threat is expected to be not as high on Friday for these areas.
Saturday will see these showers and storms steadily exiting the East Coast
as the cold front pushes off the coast into the Atlantic. However,
interior New England will see the showers linger due to the arrival of a
reinforcing cold front from Canada.
As a large dome of high pressure system associated with the Canadian cold
air mass settles into the Great Plains, the upslope dynamics will set up
the opportunity for wet snow to develop over the central High Plains on
Saturday, mixing with rain during the day. Meanwhile, as an upper trough
moves farther east into northern Mexico on Saturday, the associated
dynamics will support an expanding area of rain over the southern Plains
as the trough interacts with moist air returning from the Gulf of Mexico.
It appears that the threat of heavy rain threat will expand through
eastern Texas by the end of the forecast period on Saturday evening.
Much of the western U.S. will remain dry through the next couple of days
but the next Pacific system will likely break the drought later on
Saturday as rain reaches the Pacific Northwest. Forecast high
temperatures will remain rather warm across southern and southwestern
portions of the country through Saturday but the cold front will dispel
some of the warmth across the Mid-South, Midwest, Great Lakes, and
eventually the Northeast with the passage of the cold front. In contrast,
cold air will gradually push southward through the Great Plains reaching
into central Texas by Friday.
.Severe weather and isolated flash flooding for the Great Lakes/Ohio
Valley last evening; threat shifts to the Ohio and middle Mississippi
valleys and Southern Plains Thursday...
...Warm to hot temperatures across the southern U.S.; chillier weather
spreading southeast from the northern Rockies/Plains...
Showers and thunderstorms will continue to develop into the evening along
and ahead of a cold front now advancing eastward across Lower Michigan and
the Ohio Valley. Some of these storms may become strong to severe,
producing damaging winds, large hail, and a few tornadoes. In addition to
severe weather, locally heavy rainfall and isolated flash flooding are
concerns as well.
Later this evening, storms are forecast to develop from the central Plains
into the lower Missouri Valley. These storms too may become strong to
severe, with damaging hail expected to be the primary threat.
As the system in Plains moves further east, storms are likely to redevelop
from the Ohio Valley into the southern Plains on Thursday. Severe weather
will once again become a concern, especially across portions of the mid
Mississippi into the lower Ohio valleys. The Storm Prediction Center has
issued an Enhanced Risk (level 3/5) for portions of the region, noting
that strong to severe storms capable of damaging winds, and possibly a few
tornadoes, are likely tomorrow. While widespread heavy rains are not
expected, locally heavy accumulations resulting in isolated flash flooding
are possible.
Temperatures across the southern U.S. will remain warm through the period,
with highs in the upper 80s and 90s common from the Southwest to the
Southeast over the next couple of days. Much cooler temperatures now
centered over the northern Rockies and Plains will spread southeastward,
lowering temperatures across much of the Midwest and Ohio Valley by Friday.
A storm system over the central Plains this evening will continue
northeastward into the Great Lakes region by tomorrow afternoon, with an
area of rain and some thunderstorms along its path across the Corn Belt
southward to the Ozarks tonight into early Wednesday. By tomorrow, the
front will continue eastward and afternoon thunderstorms are again
possible ahead of the cold front over parts of the Midwest. Temperatures
will be mild ahead of the cold front across the Ohio Valley, reaching into
the 70s (north) to 80s farther south across the Lower Mississippi Valley.
Lighter rain is expected farther north toward the Canadian border, amidst
cooler temperatures in the 50s/60s, as well as into the Mid-Atlantic and
Northeast as the system starts to weaken.
Farther west, colder temperatures behind another cold front moving out of
eastern Montana will support snow over much of the northern Rockies and
into the foothill locations, especially over northern Wyoming. Snow will
continue across western Montana tonight and slowly taper off on Wednesday
as the system exits the mountains, but will start to bring some rain to
the central Plains starting early Thursday. For the Southwest, warmer
temperatures into the 80s/90s will be common tomorrow under fair
conditions. Into south Texas, temperatures may again climb well into the
90s to near 100F as the southern end of the frontal boundary starts to
The severe weather threat shifts into the Mississippi Valley, while snow
develops over the Northwest on Tuesday. Scattered showers and
thunderstorms are expected to propagate into the Upper/Middle Mississippi
Valley Tuesday morning and then over the Lower Mississippi Valley Tuesday
afternoon. SPC has another Enhanced Risk of Severe Thunderstorms out over
parts of southeast Iowa, northern Missouri and west-central Illinois with
a broader Slight Risk (level 2/5) area extending from northern Iowa down
to the ArkLaTex on Tuesday. Scattered severe storms capable of producing
significant/severe hail and tornadoes is forecast where the Enhanced Risk
is currently in effect. Excessive Rainfall threats remain marginal over
the same areas with the possibility of a targeted Slight Risk area being
issued as we get closer to the event.
Snow will likely develop on the backside of a pair of cold fronts pushing
through the Northwest on Tuesday/Tuesday night, while thunderstorms move
farther into the Upper Mississippi Valley and Midwest. Snow accumulations
of around 6-12 inches are likely over the ranges of northwestern Wyoming
into southern Montana, while 8-18 inches with isolated higher amounts
possible over the Bighorn Mountains. Showers and thunderstorms move into
the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast on Wednesday with a Slight Risk of Severe
Storms over parts of the Lower Ohio Valley into the Mid-South according to
the SPC. Mid to upper-level troughing over the northern tier will support
generally average to below average temperatures across that area over the
next couple of days while ridging over the southern tier will support
above average temps.
.Intensifying storm system to bring the threat of severe weather over
the Plains on Monday followed by the Mississippi Valley on Tuesday.
.Well above average temperatures across the Central/Eastern U.S;
Critical Risk of Fire Weather for the Central/Southern High Plains
Monday..
A low pressure system responsible for producing heavy snow over the
mountains of California on Saturday will move into the Intermountain West
tonight and bring with it some scattered rain/snow showers. In the Ohio
Valley/Northeast, scattered showers and thunderstorms may turn severe
early this evening as a low pressure system moves across the region. The
Storm Prediction Center issued an Enhanced Risk (level 3/5) of Severe
Thunderstorms for eastern Ohio into western and northern Pennsylvania.
Severe storms storms will track southeastward across the region this
afternoon/evening with the potential for damaging winds being the main
threat. Severe hail and a couple of tornadoes are also possible tonight.
An emerging area of low pressure over the Front Range/High Plains on
Monday will quickly intensify into a significant mid-latitude cyclone by
that evening. Showers and thunderstorms will develop across the Great
Plains on Monday afternoon. The severe weather threat begins Monday night
when scattered to severe thunderstorms are likely to initiate across the
Southern to Central Great Plains, according to SPC. Thus, they have issued
an Enhanced Risk of severe storms in western Oklahoma and parts of
northwest Texas, due in part to the threat of large to very large hail,
damaging wind gusts and a few tornadoes. A broader Slight Risk (level 2/5)
is in effect across the Great Plains. Severe weather threats shift
eastward on Tuesday. Showers and thunderstorms expand into the Mississippi
Valley within the warm sector of the deep Great Plains storm. SPC issued
another Enhanced Risk area for portions of southern Iowa into northern
Missouri where scattered severe thunderstorms are likely Tuesday into
Tuesday night from the Corn Belt to the Ark-La-Tex. Significant severe
hail and tornadoes are forecast over the Enhanced Risk area.
Meanwhile, as the Plains storm intensifies on Monday, so will winds over
the Central/Southern High Plains. Dry air will work it's way into the
region accompanied by strong winds. These factors will contribute to a
Critical Risk of Fire weather over portions of eastern Colorado, western
Kansas, western Texas and eastern New Mexico. Dust storms are also
possible over portions of southern New Mexico where winds gusts will peak
around 55-65 mph on Monday. High Wind Warnings are also in effect for this
area. Red Flag Warnings are in effect for the Central/Southern High Plains
on Monday due to the fire threat. Strong southerly flow out ahead of the
Plains storm will promote well above average temperatures across the
Central and Eastern U.S. over the next couple of days, but tomorrow in
particular. High temperatures in the 80s in the Northern/Central Plains
will represent a 20-30 degree departure from normal on Monday.
Temperatures moderate a bit but remain above average in those areas on
Tuesday. Highs will be well below average over the Southwest and
Intermountain West on Monday.
Heavy mountain snow in California through Sunday...
...Severe thunderstorms possible over interior portions of the Northeast
on Sunday...
...Well above average temperatures across the Central U.S....
A potent mid-level cut-off low will propagate through interior portions of
the West and influence impactful weather through early next week. Heavy
snow will develop over the Sierra Nevada and Shasta Siskiyous tonight and
continue through Sunday afternoon as the upper trough moves ashore.
Snowfall totals between 6-12 inches are likely to accumulate over the next
24 hours for the California mountain ranges, with locally higher amounts
possible at the highest elevations. Light rain/snow showers will come to
an end over interior New England tonight. Snow and rain impacts will come
to an end over California on Sunday as the upper trough shifts into the
Four Corners region.
Energy circulating around the southern periphery of an upper trough
stationed over northern Quebec will influence potentially impactful severe
weather across parts of the Northeast on Sunday. A fast moving surface low
pressure system will swing through the region during the day and promote
scattered to isolated showers and thunderstorms from the Ohio Valley into
the Northeast. The Storm Prediction Center issued an Enhanced Risk of
Severe Thunderstorms over parts of Pennsylvania for Sunday with the
primary threat being damaging winds with a tornado or two and large hail
also possible. Things should clear up in the Northeast by Monday.
Amplified troughing in the West will support below average temperatures
across California, Nevada and into the Four Corners region through Monday.
Downstream of this, southerly flow beneath an upper ridge and will allow
for anomalous warmth to expand across the central U.S. and eastern parts
of the country. High temperature anomalies in those places are expected to
be between 15-25 degrees above average over the next couple of days. A
serious severe weather event is likely to unfold over parts of the
Central/Southern Plains on Monday night.
Powerful low pressure system to continue producing gusty winds and
heavy rain across parts of the Great Lakes, Ohio Valley, Northeast, and
Appalachians through tonight
Lower elevation rain and mountain snow to enter California on
Saturday.
Well above average temperatures forecast to surge into the
northern/central Plains this weekend.
A deep low pressure system churning over southeast Ontario, Canada this
afternoon is responsible for widespread shower activity extending from the
Great Lakes and upper Ohio Valley to New England. Additional heavy rain is
possible through tonight across New England and parts of Upstate New York.
Isolated instances of flash flooding are possible, especially where recent
snowmelt has led to elevated river levels and saturated soil. Flood
Watches and Warnings are in effect for parts of northern New Hampshire and
western/central Maine. Additionally, a few thunderstorms are possible and
could turn severe over eastern New York and western New England. A tight
pressure gradient is also producing gusty winds surrounding the storm
system. Wind Advisories are in effect for parts of the Great Lakes, Ohio
Valley, and Appalachians due to the potential for wind gusts up to 50 mph.
As the system exits deeper into Canada on Saturday, rain could change to
snow over parts of northern Pennsylvania and New York, with winds
gradually waning.
For the West Coast, an approaching storm system is expected to spread
lower elevation rain and high elevation snow to California beginning
tonight. Rain could be heavy enough at times along the central and
southern coastal ranges to produce isolated flooding concerns. The Sierra
Nevada and northern California mountain ranges could see upwards of 6 to
12 inches of snowfall. Meanwhile, gusty winds are forecast to develop over
the high desert regions of eastern California and Nevada on Saturday,
where High Wind Warnings, Watches, and Wind Advisories are in effect. As
the system weakens and pushes inland across the Intermountain West on
Sunday, showers and thunderstorms are possible across the northern Great
Basin.
Outside of areas experiencing rain showers (West Coast and Northeast)
early this weekend, well above average temperatures are forecast to
dominate the second weekend of April. High temperatures 20 to 30 degrees
above average are anticipated across much of the Plains and Upper Midwest,
with the highest anomalies centered over the north-central United States.
This equates to widespread afternoon highs into the upper 70s and 80s. Low
90s could also be felt throughout parts of the central and southern Plains
by Sunday.
Powerful low pressure system to produce gusty winds, heavy rain, and
the potential for severe thunderstorms across parts of the Great Lakes,
Ohio Valley, and eastern United States through Friday...
...Lower elevation rain and mountain snow to enter California on
Saturday...
...Well above average temperatures forecast to surge into the
northern/central Plains this weekend...
A large, deepening low pressure system currently over the Ohio/Tennessee
valleys this afternoon will be the driving force behind active weather
throughout the eastern United States until early this weekend. Widespread
shower and thunderstorm activity is forecast to continue through tonight
across the lower Great Lakes, Ohio Valley, Appalachians, Mid-Atlantic, and
Northeast. Rainfall could be heavy enough at times to create instances of
flash flooding over the Ohio Valley and central Appalachians, where a
Slight Risk (level 2/4) of Excessive Rainfall is in effect. Additionally,
severe thunderstorms are possible throughout a similar region and could
contain a few tornadoes, scattered damaging winds, and isolated severe
hail. This severe threat also includes the central Florida Peninsula into
this evening, but thunderstorm activity should drastically diminish across
the eastern U.S. by Friday. Heavy rain will continue to be a hazard on
Friday throughout northern New England due to the combination of rainfall
and recent snowmelt. Flood Watches remain in effect between northern New
Hampshire and central Maine as antecedent conditions support the threat of
flash and river flooding. Wind will be another aspect of this storm worth
monitoring as the large low pressure system develops a strong pressure
gradient. The East Coast can expect strong southerly flow ahead of the
system through early Friday and the potential for coastal flood hazards.
Meanwhile, on the backside of the system gusty northwesterly winds are
expected to impact the Great Lakes and Appalachians on Friday and Saturday.
Unsettled weather will enter California on Saturday as low pressure churns
just off the coast and an associated frontal boundary pushes inland.
Locally heavy rain is possible along coastal regions, with moderate to
heavy snow in the high terrain of the Sierra Nevada. Rainfall is also
expected to expand northward into parts of southern Oregon, but is
anticipated to be mostly beneficial.
After a cooler Thursday throughout the Great Plains underneath high
pressure, much warmer weather is on the way by Saturday. Highs are
expected to surge upwards of 20 to 30 degrees above average through the
north-central United States. This equates to widespread highs into the 70s
and 80s from the Great Plains and Upper Midwest to the northern Great
Basin.
Heavy rain, flash flooding and severe weather threat associated with a
strengthening storm system to continue this afternoon and tonight in the
Southeast...
...Powerful storm system to foster heavy rain and high wind potential over
much of the eastern U.S. on Thursday; severe weather and flash flood
threats forecast in parts of the Southeast and upper Ohio Valley...
...High winds along with widespread moderate to heavy rain expected to
impact the entire Eastern Seaboard into the Great Lakes Thursday night
into Friday; warming up in the West...
The second half of the work-week features an impressive early-mid April
storm system, currently tracking through the Deep South, that will head
northeast through the Lower Mississippi Valley this evening and head for
both the Tennessee and Ohio Valleys come Thursday morning. The central
Gulf Coast is the focus for the most dangerous weather this afternoon and
evening as organized thunderstorms track east through the region. The
Storm Prediction Center and Weather Prediction Center both issued Moderate
Risks for severe storms and Excessive Rainfall respectively, implying that
not only is flash flooding anticipated for parts of the central Gulf
Coast, but so are severe thunderstorms capable of producing tornadoes,
damaging wind gusts, and large hail. Meanwhile, periods of rain will be
common from the ArkLaTex and Ozarks this afternoon to the Ohio Valley and
Lower Great Lakes overnight.
By Thursday morning this strengthening storm system will direct its shield
of rain north into the eastern Great Lakes and Mid-Atlantic, then finally
into the Northeast by Thursday afternoon. Numerous showers are also still
expected in parts of the Lower Mississippi Valley and for much of the Ohio
and Tennessee Valleys. In terms of severe weather the upper Ohio Valley is
most at-risk, as evident with an expansive Slight Risk area and a smaller
Enhanced Risk area that is focused in eastern Ohio and western West
Virginia. Tornadoes and damaging winds are the primary modes of severe
weather of greatest concern through Thursday afternoon. Farther south, the
storm's cold front will act as a trigger for severe storms from the
Mid-Atlantic on south to northern Florida. SPC has a Slight Risk that
stretches from southern South Carolina on south to the Tampa, FL metro
area. There is also the threat for Excessive Rainfall and resulting flash
flooding from the Upper Ohio Valley on east through the northern
Mid-Atlantic. WPC has a large Slight Risk area in place for portions of
these regions, with metro areas such as Pittsburgh, Washington D.C.,
Baltimore, and Philadelphia all within the Slight Risk zone. In addition
to the rain and thunderstorms, gusty winds will be felt across much of the
eastern half of the U.S., especially in the central Appalachians and parts
of the Southeast where Wind Advisories are in place for tomorrow. By
Friday, while the severe threat backs down, there is a Slight Risk for
Excessive Rainfall in portions of northern New Hampshire and western
Maine. Gusty winds, as well as widespread showers are anticipated in the
Great Lakes and Mid-Atlantic during the day Friday.
In the West, a tranquil weather pattern this afternoon and through
Thursday along the West Coast will conclude as the next Pacific storm
system delivers showers and mountain snow to the Pacific Northwest by
Thursday night. The storm system dive south along the West Coast and a
frontal boundary will set up over the Northern Rockies. This will lead to
hit-or-miss showers from the Sierra Nevada and Oregon Cascades on east
through most of the northern Rockies Friday afternoon. Temperature-wise,
an expansive swath of unusually warm temperatures for mid-April will grow
east from the West Coast and the
Heavy rain, flash flooding and severe weather threat will expand into
the central Gulf Coast States, Tennessee Valley and parts of the Southeast
on Wednesday, reaching into the Midwest, Ohio Valley and the East Coast by
Thursday.
Critical fire danger remains over the Texas Big Bend and Rio Grande
Valley through this evening.
A very active weather pattern is currently unfolding throughout much of
the southern Plains and lower Mississippi Valley as numerous showers and
thunderstorms impact the region, with several modes of hazardous weather
possible. Ample atmospheric moisture content, nearby frontal boundaries,
and a supportive upper level environment are expected to continue the
threat of severe weather and flash flooding over the next few days.
Through tonight, the bulk of the impactful weather is forecast to remain
across the southern Plains and lower Mississippi Valley, where many
locations have already been dealing with soaking rain and intense
thunderstorms over the last 12 hours or so. With more heavy rain on the
way, numerous instances of flash flooding are likely overnight from
east-central Texas to parts of western Mississippi. A Moderate Risk (level
3/4) of Excessive Rainfall remains in effect, as well as Flood Watches
extending from Texas to Alabama. Additionally, thunderstorms will be
capable of producing a few tornadoes, large to very large hail, and severe
wind gusts.
The disruptive weather is anticipated to expand eastward on Wednesday
throughout the central Gulf Coast States, Tennessee Valley, and Southeast.
Multiple rounds of strong thunderstorms could dump around 2 to 4 inches of
rainfall over a relatively short time period from northeast Louisiana to
southwest Georgia and the Florida Panhandle. This has prompted the
Moderate Risk of Excessive Rainfall to be extended into these regions on
Wednesday. A Moderate Risk (level 4/5) for severe thunderstorms also
exists on Wednesday from east-central Louisiana to southwest Mississippi,
where the potential exists for several tornadoes (a few of which could be
strong), and widespread damaging wind gusts. Residents and visitors are
advised to have multiple ways to receive warnings and never drive through
flooded roadways.
This storm system is forecast to become better organized by the latter
part of Wednesday and continue on a northeastward progression over the
lower Great Lakes by Thursday night. Showers and thunderstorms will shift
into the Ohio Valley, Southeast, and Mid-Atlantic, but should become more
progressive in nature. The greatest threat for damaging wind gusts
associated with strong thunderstorms on Thursday extends from the
Carolinas to northern Florida, as well as the Ohio Valley. Heavy rain may
also lead to scattered instances of flash flooding from the
southern/central Appalachians to the northern Mid-Atlantic. Lastly, strong
southerly flow along the East Coast could lead to gusty winds and coastal
hazards from the Southeast to the Mid-Atlantic on Thursday.
Mostly tranquil weather is forecast elsewhere throughout the Nation as
upper ridging builds over the Intermountain West. Rain and snow showers
are expected to swing from the Northwest to the northern High Plains
tonight as a frontal system quickly moves east and over the northern
Plains on Wednesday. Otherwise, gusty winds and low relative humidity will
continue to create Critical Fire Weather over the Texas Big Bend and Rio
Grande Valley into tonight, with Elevated Fire Weather continuing into
Wednesday.
Heavy rain, flash flooding and severe weather threat emerging across
the Southern Plains into the Lower Mississippi Valley through
Tuesday & Wednesday.
Critical fire danger shifts into Texas Big Bend by Tuesday.
Tuesday will fair little better across the Southern Plains as the
upper-level low brings cooling aloft and with continued warm, moist air
off the Gulf and dry air from the Mexican Plateau in the low to
mid-levels; very unstable weather conditions will exist again across much
of Texas; though the axis of concern will shift ever so southward, from
the Permian Basin/Edwards Plateau across to the Piney Woods of E Texas and
into Louisiana. Low level wind profiles become a bit more conducive for
tornadoes with similar wind and hail risks. SPC has an Enhanced Risk (3
of 5) across central Texas to west-central Louisiana which also aligns
with the hatched area indicating an increased potential for strong
tornadoes. Similarly, with an overlap of additional round and increased
overall moisture to the area, WPC has a Moderate Risk of Excessive
Rainfall (3 of 4) is up for downstream areas of far E Texas, northern
half of Louisiana, southern Arkansas into western Mississippi indicating
broader areal coverage for potential flash flooding conditions.
Northern New England remains the best location for clear viewing of the
total solar eclipse this afternoon...
...Lingering wet snow across the Northern Plains expected to taper off
later today while locally moderate rain moves across the Upper Midwest...
...Heavy rain, flash flooding and severe weather threat emerging across
the Southern Plains to the lower Mississippi Valley on Tuesday...
...Critical fire danger shifts southward into western Texas by Tuesday...
As the long-anticipated total solar eclipse scheduled to take place this
afternoon, the weather pattern across the U.S. is entering a transition
period from one that consists of a winter storm across the North to heavy
rain and severe thunderstorms across the South. The low pressure system
that has brought snow, high winds, and severe weather to various locations
across the northern and central U.S. will continue to weaken and track
northeast across the upper Midwest today, and then move into southern
Canada on Tuesday. Lingering wet snow across the Northern Plains is
expected to taper off later today while locally moderate rain moves across
the Upper Midwest.
Monday morning will feature showers and embedded thunderstorms across the
Great Lakes down into the Ohio Valley, Tennessee Valley and the lower
Mississippi Valley well in advance of the low pressure system and near the
trailing cold front. Meanwhile, moisture from the Gulf of Mexico is
beginning to return to the western Gulf states. Southern Texas will
likely wake up to fair conditions this morning but will likely followed by
a rapid untimely increase of clouds this morning into the afternoon prior
to the arrival of the solar eclipse. In contrast, northern New England
remains to be the region where cloud cover will likely be minimized along
the path of totality this afternoon as the nor'easter moves farther out
into the Atlantic. It appears that other locations in between will have a
fair chance of cloud covers at various levels, although locations across
Arkansas to the Midwest could see breaks in the clouds or high thin clouds
during the time of totality.
Monday night into Tuesday will likely see the threat of heavy rain
blossoming across the South from eastern Texas/eastern Oklahoma expanding
eastward into the lower Mississippi Valley in response to a potent upper
trough approaching from the southern Rockies that will interact with the
influx of Gulf moisture. A few inches of rain will likely be common from
northern Louisiana into southern Arkansas through Wednesday morning with
this setup. In addition, severe thunderstorms are also expected to
develop within the heavy rain area from Tuesday morning onward into
Wednesday morning when a low pressure system is forecast to develop over
Texas. The heaviest rains and severe storms should begin to head farther
east by Wednesday morning into the Mid-South as the low pressure system
intensifies and tracks toward the east-northeast.
Wet snow and high winds across the northern High Plains today are
expected to gradually become less intense by tonight
Mixed rain and wet snow spread east across the northern Plains into
tonight as showers and thunderstorms move across the Midwest, Mid-South,
Great Lakes toward the central Appalachians Monday morning.
Threat of heavy rain quickly emerges across the western Gulf states
later on Monday and then expands further into the Mid-South by Tuesday
morning.
Critical to Extreme Fire Weather Risk continues over portions of the
central/southern High Plains today with improvements on Monday.
An intense low pressure system, likely reaching peak intensity early this
Sunday morning, has continued to impact much of the High Plains and nearby
Rockies with winds locally gusting over hurricane force. The cold air
mass behind this intense storm is supporting wet snow across the northern
High Plains into the northern Rockies. The combination of wet snow in the
midst of the high winds has resulted in blizzard conditions locally over
western Nebraska. Meanwhile, plenty of warm air is wrapping around the
eastern side of the storm with bands of showers and thunderstorms sweeping
through the northern and central Plains. The intense storm is expected to
gradually weaken today as it moves generally toward the upper Midwest.
Mixed rain and wet snow are expected across the northern Plains by tonight
as showers and embedded thunderstorms move into the Great Lakes and down
the Mississippi Valley by early on Monday. The rain/snow over the
northern Plains is expected to taper off by Monday night when the low
pressure system weakens further and heads toward southern Canada by
Tuesday morning.
Meanwhile, the huge circulation associated with the weakening nor'easter
has been slow to exit New England, with some wet snow and rain still
affecting Maine and the Cape Cod area early Sunday morning. The
precipitation is expected to taper off this morning as the huge storm
begins to move out into the Atlantic. Colder air wrapping around the huge
storm will lead to below freezing temperatures as far south as the
southern Appalachians early this morning before the April sun and the
arrival warm air from the intense storm over the Plains send temperatures
well up into the 60s to near 70 by this afternoon.
For the total solar eclipse that is scheduled to take place on Monday, it
appears that southern Texas will wake up to considerable clouds Monday
morning with a resurgence of warm and moist air from the Gulf of Mexico.
In contrast, New England will likely wake up to clearing skies with cold
temperatures into the 20s Monday morning under a fresh snow cover from the
recent nor'easter. There will probably be some breaks in the clouds from
northern Arkansas to central Ohio behind a front, and mostly cloudy
farther northeast from eastern Ohio to western portions of New York.
Cloud cover percentages from South texas to northern Vermont and So Canada
In the meantime, Weather wise
Severe Thunderstorms possible over parts of the Great Plains and
Mississippi Valley this weekend.
Winter Storm to develop over the Front Range; High Winds impact Four
Corners tonight into Great Plains this weekend.
Critical Fire Weather Risk over Central/Southern High Plains.
Warm weekend ahead for Central U.S.; East and West Coasts remain below
average.
An omega pattern aloft will support impactful weather across the Central
U.S. this weekend. Tonight, snow showers are expected to continue from the
Central Appalachians up through the Lower Great Lakes and interior
Northeast/New England. Additional snow accumulations of 3-6 inches are
possible for those areas before the surface low departs from Downeast
Maine and things begin to clear up Saturday evening. High temperatures
will remain below average across the East Coast thanks to the cloudiness,
but should begin to rebound by early next week.
Out West, general troughing will keep temperatures below average this
weekend and into early next week. High winds will continue over the Four
Corners region tonight before spreading into the Great Plains on Saturday.
High Wind Watches and Warnings are in effect for portions of the
aforementioned areas through Sunday. A pronounced ridge will support
warmer than average temperatures across the Great Plains and Mississippi
Valley this weekend.
Heavy Snow winds down over New England and Sierra Nevada.
High Winds likely for Central Great Basin and Four
Corners/Intermountain West.
Critical Fire Risk for Central/Southern High Plains this weekend.
A very strong and impactful low pressure system, which has already brought
heavy snow to the Sierra Nevada, will spread rain and snow into the
interior West over the next couple of days. Tonight, heavy snow over the
Sierra Nevada will weaken as the focus for snow, rain and wind shift
eastward. Over the next 24 hours, between 6-12 inches of snow is expected
to accumulate over the Sierra Nevada; ranges of northeastern California,
northern Nevada, Sawtooth; and the Blue Mountains. High winds will
accompany this system, particularly over parts of the Great Basin and
Intermountain West, where sustained winds of 35-45 mph and gusts up to 60
mph are possible. High Wind Warnings and Watches are in effect for those
areas as a result. Snow showers spread into the Northern/Central Rockies
Friday night into Saturday, with 4-8 inches possible over those areas.
This system will reorganize and quickly intensify as it emerges over the
Front Range this weekend. High winds, warm weather and low dew points will
support a Critical Risk of Fire Weather over parts of the Central and
Southern High Plains beginning Friday and continuing through at least
Sunday. Scattered rain showers and thunderstorms will develop over the
Central/Southern Plains on Saturday night, while snow continues over the
Northern Rockies/High Plains.
Meanwhile, in the East, a deep upper-level trough will slowly move off the
Northeast Coast over the coming days. The associated low pressure system,
which has already dumped several inches of snow over parts of the
Northeast and New England, will linger around Downeast Maine over the next
couple of days, spreading snow showers across the state and surrounding
areas. Tonight, the heaviest snowfall will come to an end, but between 4-8
inches may still accumulate as the parent low lingers nearby. Snow showers
continue over the Allegheny Mountains tonight, producing around 4-8 inches
of snow. An omega block upper-level pattern will support below average
temperatures across the West and East and above average temps in the
Central U.S. over the next couple of
Winter Storm impacts begin over much of the interior Northeast and
parts of central New England tonight...
Excessive Rainfall possible over coastal Northeast tonight
Heavy Snow over the Sierra Nevada on Thursday; High Winds from the
Great Basin to Four Corners region on Thursday and Friday.
A powerful mid-level low will continue to power a dynamic low pressure
system moving from the Midwest into East Coast over the next couple of
days. Showers and thunderstorms will spread across parts of the
Mid-Atlantic/Northeast Coasts tonight. Some intense storms may develop
around a triple point low propagating from the New Jersey Coast up through
the southern New England coast tonight. Therefore, a corresponding Slight
Risk (at least 15%) of Excessive Rainfall leading to Flash Flooding is in
effect from northern New Jersey through New York City and into southern
Connecticut. Heavy Snow will develop over parts of the interior Northeast
and central New England tonight and will continue into Thursday before
weakening into snow showers on Friday beneath a meandering mid-level low
around Downeast Maine. Widespread snowfall accumulations of over a foot
are likely across portions of northern upstate New York and
central/northern New England, with isolated amounts exceeding 2 feet
possible over parts of southern Maine and eastern New Hampshire by Friday
evening. Meanwhile, snow showers will occur over the Central Appalachians
with accumulations between 6-12 inches possible over the next two days.
Another deep mid-level trough will support unsettled weather across much
of the West over the next couple of days. Heavy Snow will develop over
parts of the Northern Rockies tonight and then the Sierra Nevada Thursday
afternoon through that evening. Anywhere between 1-2 feet of snow may
accumulate over those areas by Friday night. This system will also
generate strong winds over the Central Great Basin Thursday afternoon
which will expand into the Four Corners region on Friday.
Major early Spring storm to bring numerous weather hazards from the
Great Lakes, across the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys, the South, Southeast
and the Northeast...
...Heavy snows likely across much of Wisconsin, the U.P. of Michigan,
Northern New York State into central to northern New England...
...Strong cold front to bring much cooler weather Wednesday from the Ohio
Valley into the Lower Mississippi Valley and South...
...A strong front to move off the Pacific, bringing much cooler temps to
the Pacific Northwest Wednesday, southward into all of California by
Thursday...
An active early Spring weather pattern on both coasts over the next few
days resulting in numerous weather hazards and dropping temperatures. An
area of low pressure across the Mid-West Tuesday afternoon is expected to
strengthen rapidly today into Tuesday evening as it pushes north into the
Great Lakes. This will be followed by another area of low pressure
developing across the Mid-Atlantic Wednesday and pushing northeast into
eastern New England on Thursday. The combination of these two areas of
low pressure will produce numerous weather hazards over the next 2 days.
Heavy snows are forecast to develop to the north of the Mid-West low this
afternoon and continue into Tuesday night and Wednesday across portions of
the Upper Mississippi Valley and Upper Great Lakes. Snowfall accumulation
of 6-12"+ expected across central to eastern Wisconsin into the central to
eastern portions of the U.P. of Michigan. Winter Storm warnings are in
effect across these areas, along with Blizzard warnings across the central
U.P. of Michigan.
Heavy Spring snows also likely to develop Wednesday afternoon across
northern New York State and spread into central to northern New England as
the second area of low pressure deepens along the Mid-Atlantic and New
England coasts. Snowfall totals of 6-18" expected across northern New
York state, much of Vermont, New Hampshire, much of Maine and portions of
northern Massachusetts.
To the south of the areas of heavy snows, heavy rains are expected along
and ahead of the strong cold front forecast to sweep eastward tonight
through the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys and across much of the Eastern
Seaboard from the Mid-Atlantic to Florida during Wednesday. The heaviest
rain totals are expected from the Upper Ohio Valley into the Central
Appalachians and into the Mid-Atlantic. Widespread Flood watches are
currently in effect across these areas. In addition to the heavy rain and
flooding threat, severe weather is also possible across portions of the
Ohio and Tennessee Valleys and much of the South Tuesday afternoon and
Tuesday night, and into the Southeastern U.S. on Wednesday.
Much cooler temperatures are expected in the wake of this strong front as
it pushes eastward. Much above average temperatures are expected to
stretch from the Lower Mississippi Valley, eastward into the
Ohio/Tennessee Valleys, South and Southeast on Tuesday, being replaced by
below average temperatures Wednesday and Thursday behind the strong cold
front.
Major spring storm to bring numerous weather threats from the
Southern-Central Plains, northeast into the Mid Mississippi , Ohio Valley,
Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic and NortheasT

Heavy Snows to develop Tuesday and continue through Wednesday across
much of Wisconsin, the U.P. of Michigan the northern portions of the L.P.
of Michigan
Much above average temperatures to continue across the South Tuesday,
cooling significantly on Wednesday
Elevated to Critical Fire Weather Threat for West and Southwest Texas
A highly impactful, major Spring storm will produce numerous hazards over
the next few days as it strengthens over the Southern Plains Monday night
and pushes northeastward Tuesday across the Mid Mississippi Valley, Ohio
Valley and into the Lower Lakes, becoming nearly stationary over the Lower
Lakes on Wednesday. Severe weather likely to develop across portions of
the Southern to Central Plains late Monday afternoon/evening and spread
northeastward quickly across the Lower Missouri Valley, Mid Mississippi
Valley Monday night into early Tuesday. This severe weather threat will
then spread into portions of the Ohio Valley, Tennessee Valley and
Southeast on Tuesday. Large hail, high winds and tornadoes are all
possible with this severe weather over the next two days.
In addition to the severe weather threat, heavy rains and flash flooding
will also be possible late Monday into Tuesday from the Lower Missouri
Valley, across the Mid Mississippi Valley, Ohio Valley and into the
Central Appalachians. Flood watches currently stretch from central
Illinois, across large portions of Indiana, Ohio, northeast Kentucky, much
of West Virginia, far southwest Pennsylvania and far western Maryland.
As this storm deepens on Tuesday across the Mid Mississippi Valley/Lower
Lakes region, precipitation will change to snow on the northwest side of
the system from northern Illinois, across much of Wisconsin, the U.P. of
Michigan and the northern L.P. of Michigan. Early Spring heavy snowfall
totals of 4-8"+ possible across these areas, with regions from eastern
Wisconsin into the Upper Peninsula of Michigan having the greatest chances
of heavy snowfall. By late Wednesday afternoon another area of low
pressure is forecast to begin to deepen along the Mid-Atlantic coast.
Heavy snows are forecast to begin to develop late late Wednesday afternoon
and continue into Thursday to the north of this low across portions of
Upstate and Northern New York into much of central to northern New
England.
Widespread showers/ storms will bring the threat of severe weather
and flash flooding from the Southern Plains eastward through the Middle
Mississippi/Ohio Valleys Monday...
Another Critical Risk of Fire Weather for the Southern High Plains
Monday.Advancing storm system will bring increasing showers and storm chances
to much of the eastern U.S. Tuesday, with another risk of severe weather
in the Ohio/Tennessee Valleys and Mid-Atlantic.Unsettled weather in the West, with lower elevation rain and higherelevation snow, continues Sunday night but will taper off through the dayMonday.
A storm system passing through the central and eastern U.S. will bring the
threat of severe weather and flash flooding as well a risk of fire weather
over the next couple of days. A deep, energetic upper-level trough over
the West will begin to shift eastward over the Plains Sunday night into
Monday. Increased height falls will help to deepen/organize an area of low
pressure in the lee of the Rockies over the Central Plains, with increased
flow helping to reinforce a quasi-stationary frontal boundary extending
eastward through the Middle Mississippi/Ohio Valleys and a dryline
extending southward through the Southern Plains, with a cold front
approaching from the west through the Southern Rockies/High Plains.
Showers and storms will first expand in coverage Sunday night along the
quasi-stationary boundary through the Middle Mississippi Valley eastward
into the Ohio Valley and Mid-Atlantic as moisture advecting northward from
the gulf continues to pool along the boundary. Enough shear will be
present that a few storms may produce some large hail from northern
Missouri eastward through central Illinois/Indiana through Sunday evening,
with a Slight Risk of Severe Weather (level 2/5) in place from the Storm
Prediction Center. An isolated threat for flash flooding will exist here
as well, extending eastward into the Upper Ohio Valley, as heavy rain may
have the tendency to repeat over areas as storms run parallel to the
boundary.
Another day of return flow from the Gulf as well as the arrival of the
upper-level trough from the west on Monday will bring a much broader area
of showers and thunderstorms along the east-west boundary as well as
southward along the dryline through the Central/Southern Plains. Some
supercells are expected to develop along the boundary from southern
Missouri west through southeastern Kansas and southward along the dryline
into central Oklahoma by late afternoon/early evening in the presence of
increasing buoyancy and upper-level shear. The Storm Prediction Center has
issued an Enhanced Risk (level 3/5) of severe weather for the chance of
very large hail as well as damaging winds and a few tornadoes. Some more
isolated storms will be possible further south into northern Texas, with a
Slight Risk in place. A Slight Risk also extends eastward through the Ohio
Valley where some isolated daytime storms and the arrival of storms
growing upscale upstream over the Middle Mississippi Valley/Plains will
bring the threat of damaging winds, as well as large hail and a few
tornadoes. By evening, increasing storm coverage and the potential for
upscale growth into an organized complex of storms, as well as the
tendency for storms to move parallel to the frontal boundary, will lead to
a higher chance of locally heavy rainfall totals and some scattered flash
flooding, with a Slight Risk of Excessive Rainfall (level 2/4) in place.
In addition to the threat of severe weather and flash flooding, very
strong winds upwards of 40 to 50 mph, with gusts as high as 75 mph,
combined with very dry conditions behind the dryline over portions of the
Southern High Plains have prompted another Critical Risk of Fire Weather
(level 2/3) .
Unsettled weather continues across the West Sunday with some locally
heavy rainfall and isolated flood risk for Southern California and
Arizona...
Risk for severe weather and flash flooding from the Middle Mississippi
Valley southwestward into the Southern Plains on Monday.
Showers and storms with some severe weather and flash flooding threat
for portions of the Midwest/Ohio Valley Sunday into Monday.
Unsettled weather will continue across the West as a deep upper-trough and
accompanying surface frontal system push inland across the region.
Widespread showers and storms will continue this evening in Southern
California but should decrease in coverage/intensity as the cold front
pushes eastward, reducing the influx of moisture. A Slight Risk of
Excessive Rainfall (level 2/4) remains in effect for the LA Basin/eastern
Transverse Ranges south through the Peninsular Ranges through Sunday
morning where the additional rainfall may lead to some instances of
flooding given the wet antecedent conditions from the prior days'
rainfall. Some more isolated instances may also continue into the day
Sunday before the rain fully tapers off. Additional locally heavy rainfall
with an isolated flood risk will stretch into the Lower Colorado River
Valley through Sunday morning, and into portions of southern Arizona
Sunday. Otherwise, lower elevation rain showers/thunderstorms and higher
elevation mountain snow are expected more broadly across the Great Basin,
Southwest, and Rockies Sunday. Locally heavy snow is forecast for some of
the regional mountain ranges, particularly from the Sierra eastward
through the Great Basin/Four Corners region into the central Rockies, with
some Winter Storm Warnings/Winter Weather Advisories in place. Some snow
may mix in at lower elevations in the Great Basin and into the Rockies as
temperatures remain cooler following a cold front passage, though any
accumulations should remain light. Precipiation chances should come down
through the day Monday as the frontal system pushes eastward into the
Plains.
As the upper-trough shifts east, lee cyclogenesis will help to
strengthen/consolidate an area of low pressure over the Central Plains
along a wavy, quasi-stationary boundary extending eastward through the
Middle-Mississippi Valley and into the Mid-Atlantic. This boundary will
become the focus for areas of widespread showers and thunderstorms over
the next couple of days. The Central/Southern Plains will remain mostly
dry Sunday, with precipitation limited to a wintry mix to the north of the
boundary over portions of the Northern Plains in the presence of moist,
upslope flow. Some light to moderate snow accumulations are expected,
particularly in vicinity of the Black Hills. Then, on Monday, the focus
shifts southeastward to the frontal boundary through the Middle
Mississippi Valley southwestward along a dry line and approaching cold
front through the Southern Plains. Increasing moisture/buoyancy as well as
strengthening deep and low-level shear will lead to the threat of numerous
thunderstorms with the potential for severe weather. The Storm Prediction
Center has outlined an Enhanced Risk (level 3/5) from central Missouri
southwestward into eastern Oklahoma where an increasing potential for very
large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes exists. A broader Slight Risk
extends southward into north Texas. In addition, the expectation for
repeated storms with increasing coverage as flow runs parallel to the
approaching cold front has prompted an overlapping Slight Risk of
Excessive Rainfall from central Missouri southwestward into northeastern
Oklahoma.
Heavy rains, isolated flash flooding for portions of central to
southern California, while heavy snows likely in the Sierra.
Record low maximum temperatures possible across Southern California and
the Southwest this weekend.
Heavy snows possible Friday night into early Saturday across northern
Maine.
Wintry weather to spread eastward this weekend from the Northern
Rockies into the Northern Plains.
Much above average temperatures for the Easter weekend from the Central
to Southern Plains, east across the Mid to Lower Mississippi Valley, Ohio
Valley and into the Southeast...
A cold and wet weather pattern on tap for the Easter weekend across much
of California into the Southwest. An area of low pressure currently off
the northern California coast will be sinking slowly southeastward along
the central to southern California coast over the next two days. This low
will produce the potential for widespread heavy rains along the central to
southern California coastal regions, along with the potential for isolated
flash flooding. Flood watches are currently in effect across portions of
coastal southern California from north and east of San Diego, northward
through the LA metro region, including the Transverse range. While heavy
rains occur along the coastal areas of central to southern California,
heavy snows are likely through much of the Sierra where 1 to 2 feet are
possible. Locally heavy snows will also be likely farther inland from the
Mogollon Rim of Arizona, into the Wasatch of Utah, the Rockies of Wyoming
and across the higher terrain of the Nevada Great Basin as this system
pushes eastward this weekend. In addition to the wet weather across
southern California, high temperatures are expected to be much below
average both Saturday and Sunday, with the potential for record low
maximum temperatures across the Los Angeles to San Diego metro areas.
Much below average temperatures also expected across much of the Great
Basin, Southwest and Northern Plains this weekend.
Warmer more spring like temperatures are on tap from the Southern to
Central Plains, eastward across the Middle to Lower Mississippi Valley,
Ohio Valley and the Southeast. Across these regions, high temperatures
are expected to be 10 to 20 degrees above average.
Winter weather will be hanging on across portions of northern Maine late
Friday into early Saturday as a strong low moves slowly northward to the
east of Maine across the Canadian maritimes. Early Spring heavy snows are
possible across northern Maine with accumulation in the 4 to 6 inch range
forecast. A fast moving area of low pressure moving west to east from
Iowa into the L.P. of Michigan Friday night into Saturday will produce an
area of 2-4" snows well to its north from the Arrowhead of Minnesota into
the U.P. of Michigan.
An expanding area of wintry weather is also expected to push eastward from
the Northern Rockies Saturday and into the Northern Plains on Sunday. The
heaviest snow accumulations are expected over portions of the Northern
Rockies with generally light totals pushing east into the High Plains.
Unsettled weather for the West, with a late season Atmospheric River
impacting California into the weekend...
Precipiation chances continue for New England Friday.
Warming trend for portions of the central/eastern U.S. into the
weekend.
Higher elevation/mountain snow showers and lower elevation coastal/valley
rain will continue across the West Thursday evening and into the day
Friday as a frontal system moves through the region, eventually stalling,
and underneath energetic upper-level flow aloft. Precipitation amounts,
especially further inland, should remain mostly light to moderate except
in the vicinity of the boundary across the Great Basin and into the
central Rockies were some higher snow accumulations and more widespread
lower elevation showers are expected. Then, along the West Coast, an
amplifying upper-level trough/deepening closed low and the approach of a
stronger Pacific system will help usher in a late season influx of higher
moisture/Atmospheric River into central and southern California beginning
by late Friday. The best overlap of moisture and onshore/upslope flow will
initially be along the Transverse Ranges, where a Slight Risk of Excessive
Rainfall (level 2/4) is in place through Saturday morning. A few inches of
rainfall may lead to some flooding concerns, especially along terrain
sensitive areas. The threat will continue into the day Saturday, expanding
southward along the Peninsular Ranges, with another Slight Risk in effect
as additional rainfall, on top of increasingly saturated conditions, will
bring the threat for more instances of flooding. Some heavier rainfall is
expected over portions of central California, and spreading into the Lower
Colorado Basin by Saturday, but the flood threat looks to remain lower for
these regions for now. Some heavier snow is also forecast for higher
elevations of the Sierra Friday and into the weekend.
In the East, showers along the Coast should begin to come to an end from
south to north in the Carolinas/Mid-Atlantic Thursday evening as a cold
front pushes away from the coast. Rain, heavy at times, will linger into
Friday for coastal New England as an area of low pressure intensifies
offshore and continues to advect additional moisture in. While the rain
will not be particularly intense, instances of flooding will remain a
concern with some higher water levels due to additional snowmelt/runoff
expected. The greatest risk will be through Friday morning, with a Slight
Risk in effect, though some threat may linger into Saturday for Downeast
Maine. Further inland, some snow will mix in, with some light
accumulations possible through northern Maine. Precipiation should taper
off through the day Saturday as the low pressure system moves away. An
upper-level shortwave and accompanying surface frontal system passing
through the Northern Plains will bring a wintry mix Friday, with some
increasing chances for accumulating snowfall along the Canadian border
from North Dakota into the Upper Midwest/Great Lakes. As the wave moves
further east, shower and thunderstorm chances will increase Saturday along
a quasi-stationary frontal boundary through portions of the Great
Lakes/Midwest. Increasingly moist southerly flow may bring some more
moderate to heavy showers as well as some thunderstorm chances by Saturday
evening.
An expanding area of warmer, above average temperatures is expected for
portions of the central U.S. Thursday, from the Southern Plains
northeastward into the Middle Mississippi/Lower Ohio Valley, as
upper-level heights rise across the region. Some chilly morning lows into
the 30s are forecast for the Tennessee Valley into the Southern
Appalachians Thursday morning, with Frost Advisories in place for portions
of the regi
Rainy, stormy weather continues along the East Coast through Thursday,
lingering in New England Friday...
...Unsettled weather for the West, with a late season Atmospheric River
impacting California Friday...
...Warming trend begins over Central U.S. on Thursday...
Showers and storms will continue along the East Coast Thursday as a pair
of slow moving cold fronts pass through the region. Locally heavy rainfall
is expected over portions of eastern North Carolina and southeastern
Virginia where a wave of low pressure will help to enhance convergence and
storm converge/intensity. A Slight Risk of Excessive Rainfall (level 2/4)
will continue through the overnight hours Wednesday into the day Thursday
with some scattered instances of flash flooding possible. Storms will
begin to clear the coast from south to north through the day Thursday as
the lead front pushes into the Atlantic, lingering longest in New England.
Here, an intensifying area of low pressure off the coast will keep moist
onshore flow into the region through Friday. Some of the rain may be heavy
at times Thursday along the coast, leading to some areal flood concerns
when combined with snowmelt. Precipitation is expected to change over to
snow for interior locations of the region by Friday night, with some light
to moderate accumulating snowfall possible. Winds will also become a bit
gusty Friday as the low deepens offshore.
Areas of lower elevation coastal/valley rain and higher elevation/mountain
snow will continue across the West Thursday and Friday, generally
spreading further southward and eastward as a frontal system moves through
the region. Some locally heavier snow totals will be possible for regional
mountain ranges from the Pacific Northwest southward into northern/central
California, as well as for the eastern Great Basin into the
northern/central Rockies. The greatest impacts are expected in the
northern Sierra through Thursday morning where a Winter Storm Warning is
in place. A more intense system over the Pacific will approach California
on Friday, bringing an enhanced onshore flow of anomalously high
moisture/Atmospheric River directed at portions of central and southern
California. Rainfall will pick up Friday into Friday night/Saturday
morning along upslope portions of the Transverse Ranges, where a Slight
Risk of Excessive Rainfall is in place, as a few inches of rainfall may
lead to flooding, especially for terrain sensitive areas. This threat will
continue into the weekend beyond the current forecast period.
Elsewhere, some snow showers will linger Thursday for portions of the
Upper Midwest/Great Lakes, particularly close to the Canadian border, as a
low pressure system departs the region into Canada. A shortwave following
this system will bring some additional light rain/snow showers to the
Northern Plains into the Upper Midwest on Friday. Temperature-wise, some
chilly morning lows dropping into the low to mid-30s are forecast Thursday
across portions of the Mid-South into the Tennessee Valley following a
cold front passage, with Frost/Freeze-related advisories and warnings in
place for newly greening sensitive vegetation. Increasing upper-level
ridging following the system over the East Coast and ahead of troughing
over the West will bring warmer, above average temperatures broadly across
portions of the High Plains Thursday, and into the Plains/Mississippi
Valley/Midwest on Friday. Highs will remain either around or below average
along the East Coast and across most of the West with the upper-level
troughing in place.
Severe Weather potential over parts of the Upper Great Lakes tonight...
Heavy to Excessive Rainfall possible over portions of the Southeast and
Mid-Atlantic.
Unsettled weather returns to the Northwest on Wednesday.
Heavy snow and blizzard conditions associated with a deep mid-latitude
cyclone that impacted the Northern/Central Plains and Upper Midwest the
past few days has ended, but some lingering mainly light snows may
continue into tonight across parts of the Upper Great Lakes. Behind the
associated cold front, a chilly airmass will continue to spread across the
Great Plains and Midwest into Wednesday. The greatest anomalies on
Wednesday will be across the Northern Plains/Upper Midwest where daytime
highs 15-25 degrees below average are possible, with temperatures
moderating thereafter.
Widespread showers and thunderstorms are expected to accompany the above
mentioned cold front through Thursday as it slowly progresses through the
Midwest and East Coast states. Into this evening, the Storm Prediction
Center highlights portions of southern Michigan into Indiana and Ohio
within a slight risk (level 2/5) of Severe Thunderstorms. On Wednesday,
the heaviest rains are expected across parts of north Florida and into the
Southeast as additional moisture gets pulled northward due to a second
wavy front and developing surface low where WPC has a slight risk for
excessive rainfall. Showers and storms will continue across the Northeast
into Thursday, though heaviest rainfall should be confined across portions
of the Carolinas and the DelMarVa, and up the Northeast Coast posing a
mainly localized flash flood threat.
Unsettled weather will continue across the Northwest during the short
range, with low elevation rain and mountain snows. Favorable upslope
regions may have the greatest threat for heavy to excessive rainfall,
particularly across southwest Oregon/northwest California on Wednesday.
Accumulating snowfall is possible particularly across the highest
elevations of the Cascades, Sierra Nevada, and into the northern Rockies.
Major Winter Storm through Tuesday over the Central Plains into the
Upper Mississippi Valley...
The major winter storm continues through Tuesday over the Central Plains
into the Upper Mississippi Valley. Snow and strong winds will continue
from the Central Plains to northern Minnesota through Monday night, along
with sleet and freezing rain in parts of the Upper Mississippi Valley.
In addition, hazardous impacts will be snow, icing, and wind. Blowing and
falling snow will significantly reduce visibility, and blizzard conditions
will persist into Tuesday across portions of the Plains and northern
Minnesota. Travel may be very difficult or impossible at times. Power
outages and tree damage are possible in some areas due to heavy snow,
icing, and strong winds. Also, plan on slippery roads.
Meanwhile, the front associated with the storm extends from the Middle
Mississippi Valley/Southern Plains and moves eastward to the lower Great
Lakes into the Central Gulf Coast by Wednesday evening.
The system will create showers and severe thunderstorms over the Lower
Mississippi Valley. Therefore, the SPC has issued an Enhanced Risk (level
3/5) of severe thunderstorms over parts of the Lower Mississippi Valley
through Tuesday morning. The hazards associated with these thunderstorms
are frequent lightning, severe thunderstorm wind gusts, hail, and a few
tornadoes. Additionally, there is an increased threat of EF2 to EF5
tornados over the area.
In addition, the showers and thunderstorms will produce heavy rain over
parts of the Middle/Lower Mississippi and Tennessee Valleys. Therefore,
the WPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/4) of excessive rainfall over
parts of the Middle/Lower Mississippi and Tennessee Valleys through
Tuesday morning. The associated heavy rain will create mainly localized
areas of flash flooding, with urban areas, roads, and small streams the
most vulnerable.
By Tuesday, the threat of severe thunderstorms decreases slightly to a
Marginal Risk over parts of the Great Lakes/Ohio Valley, with a Slight
Risk of severe thunderstorms over parts of the Central Gulf Coast.
Therefore, the SPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/5) of severe
thunderstorms over parts of the Central Gulf Coast from Tuesday through
Wednesday morning. The hazards associated with these thunderstorms are
frequent lightning, severe thunderstorm wind gusts, a few tornadoes, and a
minimal threat of hail.
Similarly, the showers and thunderstorms will create heavy rain over parts
of the Central/Eastern Gulf Coast. Therefore, the WPC has issued a Slight
Risk (level 2/4) of excessive rainfall over parts of the Central/Eastern
Gulf Coast on Tuesday through Wednesday morning. The associated heavy rain
will create mainly localized areas of flash flooding, with urban areas,
roads, and small streams the most vulnerable.
On Wednesday, the threat of severe thunderstorms ends. However, the threat
of excessive rainfall continues over parts of the Eastern Gulf Coast and
Southeast. Therefore, the WPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/4) of
excessive rainfall over parts of the Eastern Gulf Coast and Southeast on
Wednesday. The associated heavy rain will create mainly localized areas of
flash flooding, with urban areas, roads, and small streams the most
vulnerable.
Elsewhere, from Tuesday evening into Wednesday, moisture from the Atlantic
will move onshore over New England, bringing warmer temperatures and
trapping cold air in the interior of Northern New England. The warm, moist
air will create rain/freezing rain over parts of Northern New England from
Tuesday evening into Wednesday.
Significant Winter Storm across parts of the Northern Plains and Upper
Midwest
There is a Sight Risk of excessive rainfall over parts of the
Middle/Lower Mississippi and Tennessee Valleys on Monday and over parts of
the Central Gulf Coast on Tuesday.
There is an Enhanced Risk of severe thunderstorms over parts of the
Central/Southern Plains on Sunday and the Lower Mississippi Valley on
Monday.
A Significant Winter Storm will develop over the Northern/Central Plains,
Upper Mississippi Valley, and Upper Great Lakes from Sunday evening into
Tuesday. The winter storm will be high-impact and an extensive system
producing widespread heavy snow and gusty winds that will persist
throughout the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest through Tuesday. Heavy
snow will spread across much of the Northern Plains/Upper Midwest on
Sunday and continue into Monday. There is a high chance (greater than 70%)
of at least eight inches of snow extending from northern Nebraska and
central South Dakota northeastward to northeastern Minnesota and
northwestern Wisconsin.
In addition, the storm will create hazardous impacts from heavy snow, snow
load, and wind. Moreover, heavy snow and gusty wind will produce areas of
blowing/drifting snow and possible blizzard conditions on Sunday into
Monday. Likewise, hazardous travel and road closures are expected late
Sunday into Monday. Strong winds and heavy, wet snow on trees and power
lines may damage trees and cause power outages. Also, there will be a
broad area of light rain/freezing rain over parts of the Central Plains
into the Upper Great Lakes.
Furthermore, strong wind gusts over 50 mph on Sunday may result in power
outages, blowing dust with reduced visibility, difficult travel, and
property damage as High Wind Watches and Warnings are over the
Central/Southern Plains. Further, with the high wind, critical fire
weather conditions are forecast for Sunday over the Southern High Plains.
On Monday, the front moves into the Lower Mississippi Valley, creating
showers and severe thunderstorms. Therefore, the SPC has issued an
Enhanced Risk (level 3/5) of severe thunderstorms over parts of the Lower
Mississippi Valley from Monday into Tuesday morning. The hazards
associated with these thunderstorms are frequent lightning, severe
thunderstorm wind gusts, hail, and a few tornadoes. Additionally, there is
an increased threat of EF2 to EF5 tornados over the area.
In addition, the showers and thunderstorms will produce heavy rain over
parts of the Central/Lower Mississippi and Tennessee Valleys. Therefore,
the WPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/4) of excessive rainfall over
parts of the Central/Lower Mississippi and Tennessee Valleys from Monday
into Tuesday morning. The associated heavy rain will create mainly
localized areas of flash flooding, with urban areas, roads, and small
streams the most vulnerable.
A surge of energy moving into the Northwest will aid in producing
rain and higher-elevation snow over parts of Northern California on Monday
afternoon into late evening. The energy will also create coastal rain and
higher�elevation snow over parts of the Pacific Northwest through
Tuesday afternoon. Moreover, higher-elevation snow will continue from the
Northern Intermountain Region, Great Basin, Southwest, and Southern
Rockies through Tuesday evening.
Heavy Snow over portions of Northern New England; Significant Winter
Storm likely across parts of the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest...
There is a Sight Risk of excessive rainfall over parts of the Northern
Mid-Atlantic to Southern New England.
There is a Slight Risk of severe thunderstorms over parts of the
Central/Southern Plains on Sunday.
A Significant Winter Storm will develop over the Northern High Plains and
move into the Northern Plains, upper Mississippi Valley, and Upper Great
Lakes from Saturday evening into Monday. The winter storm will be
high-impact and an extensive system producing widespread heavy snow and
gusty winds that will persist over parts of the Northern Plains and Upper
Midwest through Monday. Widespread heavy snow will spread across much of
central and eastern Montana by Saturday night, expand into the Northern
Plains/Upper Midwest on Sunday, and continue into Monday. There is a high
chance (greater than 70%) of at least eight inches of snow extending from
central South Dakota northeastward to northeastern Minnesota and
northwestern Wisconsin.
In addition, the storm will create hazardous impacts from heavy snow, snow
load, and wind. Moreover, heavy snow and gusty wind will produce areas of
blowing/drifting snow and possible blizzard conditions on Sunday into
Monday. Hazardous travel and road closures are expected late Saturday into
Monday. Strong winds and heavy, wet snow on trees and power lines may
damage trees and cause power outages.
Furthermore, strong wind gusts over 50 mph on Sunday may result in power
outages, blowing dust with reduced visibility, difficult travel, and
property damage as High Wind Watches and Warnings are over the
Central/Southern Plains.
Meanwhile, low pressure over Southern New England moves northeastward into
the Canadian Maritimes by Sunday. The storm will aid in producing heavy
snow over parts of Northern New England through late Sunday morning.
Additionally, heavy rain will develop over parts of the northern
Mid-Atlantic and Southern New England through late Saturday night.
Therefore, the WPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/4) of excessive
rainfall over the northern Mid-Atlantic/Southern New England through
Sunday morning. The associated heavy rain will create mainly localized
areas of flash flooding, with urban areas, roads, and small streams the
most vulnerable. On Sunday, the threat of excessive rainfall ends over the
Northeast. The snow will continue through late Sunday morning over
Northern New England.
Moreover, a front over the Great Basin/Southwest moves inland to the
Central/Southern High Plains by Sunday afternoon and continues eastward to
the Middle/Lower Mississippi Valley by Monday evening. The energy
associated with the boundary will create higher-elevation snow and
lower-elevation rain over parts of the Pacific Northwest, California,
Great Basin, Southwest, and central/Southern Rockies through Monday
morning.
Further, as the front and dryline move out of the Rockies on Sunday,
showers and severe thunderstorms will develop over the Central/Southern
Plains. Therefore, the SPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/5) of severe
thunderstorms over parts of the Central/Southern Plains from Sunday into
Monday morning. The hazards associated with these thunderstorms are
frequent lightning, severe thunderstorm wind gusts, hail, and a few
tornadoes.
On Monday, the front moves into the Lower Mississippi Valley, creating
showers and severe thunderstorms. Therefore, the SPC has issued a Slight
Risk (level 2/5) of severe thunderstorms over parts of the Lower
Mississippi Valley on Monday morning. The hazards associated with these
thunderstorms are frequent lightning, severe thunderstorm wind gusts,
Heavy snow likely across northern New York northern New England on
Saturday.
A wet weekend ahead for the East and West Coasts.
A significant winter storm is in store for the northern Plains by
Saturday night into Sunday morning.
Quite an active weather pattern is quickly emerging across the country as
we head into the weekend. A high pressure system from Canada will set the
stage for sustaining the cold air that is already in place across the
northern tier states. Meanwhile, a trough of low pressure currently
sliding eastward into the western Gulf Coast region at the upper levels
will be instrumental in developing a low pressure system that will
gradually intensify and track up the East Coast during the weekend. In
the near term however, the upper trough will mutually interact with a
mesoscale front and plenty of warm/moist air in the Gulf of Mexico to
bring a round of heavy rain mainly across southern Florida through
tonight. The heavy downpours are expected to be accompanied with strong
to severe thunderstorms and possibly squalls as the core of the system
passes through. By Saturday, the heavy rain will likely taper off to
scattered showers behind a cold front across Florida. Meanwhile, the
heavy rain is expected to overspread much of the Eastern Seaboard on
Saturday where widespread 1-3 inches of rainfall will likely result in
flooding concerns along the I-95 corridor as a low pressure wave is
forecast to track up the East Coast along a sharp coastal front.
Farther north, the low pressure system will interact with the cold air
mass in place across the northern tier states to bring a round of heavy
snow from northern New York across northern New England on Saturday where
one foot to locally 20 inches of new snow is anticipated. It appears that
there will be a narrow zone of transition across central New England to
coastal Maine where heavy freezing rain and sleet can be expected Saturday
night as the low pressure wave approaches. The precipitation will then
rapidly change over to snow before ending early Sunday morning as the
system exits into the Canadian Maritimes.
Meanwhile, another upper trough and surface low pressure system from the
eastern Pacific are heading toward the West Coast. This system will bring
widespread mountain snow and lower-elevation rain into the Pacific
Northwest and California on Saturday where a couple inches of rain is
possible near the coast, and up to a couple of feet of heavy snow for the
Sierra Nevada. The system will reach into the Great Basin, the
Intermountain region and into the northern Rockies Saturday night. From
Saturday night into early Sunday, a low pressure system is forecast to
develop and intensify over the central High Plains. This system will then
interact with the cold air mass already in place across the northern tier
states to deliver a significant winter storm across the northern Plains by
Sunday morning.
Early Spring heavy snows expected from the Upper Mississippi Valley
into the Great Lakes, northern NY State into Northern New England.
Widespread wet weather expected from East Texas, across the South, much
of Florida and the Eastern Seaboard.
The beginning of a wet pattern for the Pacific Northwest, south into
northern to central California.
Winter weather will continue to dominate the northern tier of the nation
during this first week of spring 2024. In the wake of heavy snows that
have fallen across portions of northern New England over the past 24
hours, additional heavy snow is expected to spread eastward Thursday night
into Friday from the Northern Plains, across the Upper Mississippi Valley
and into the Lower Great Lakes. This heavy snow will then push eastward
into Northern NY State and Northern New England on Saturday. Across these
areas, snowfall accumulations of 8 to 12 inches are possible. During the
day on Saturday, yet another round of wintry weather with accumulating
snows will begin to develop across the Northern High Plains and spread
eastward through the remainder of the Northern Plains Sunday and into the
early part of next week. In addition to the potential series of snow
events across the northern tier, temperatures will remain well below
average for the end of the work week and into the weekend.
At the same time that snows spread eastward across the northern tier of
the nation, a widespread rain event will continue to expand from the
western Gulf coast Thursday afternoon, eastward across large portions of
the South and Florida Thursday night into Friday. This widespread heavy
rain will then push northward along much of the Eastern Seaboard Friday
into Saturday. Some of the heaviest rainfall totals are expected across
South Florida Friday afternoon into early Saturday, with the potential for
urbanized flash flooding, especially along the southeast coastal areas of
the state. Localized flash flooding also possible along the Mid-Atlantic
coast, including the urban corridor from DC to Boston where rainfall
totals of 2 to 3 inches are possible.
An active wet weather pattern will also to begin along large portions of
the West coast from the Pacific Northwest, south into northern to central
California. Precipitation will begin to push inland on Friday across
these areas, with rounds of additional precipitation expected into the
weekend, with heavy snows in the 1 to 3 foot range expected through the
Sierra. While there may be a break to the wet west coast pattern early
next week, the overall wet winter pattern that has affected the west coast
will continue later next week as additional storm systems push inland.
Snow showers forecast throughout the Northeast over the next few days;
accumulating snowfall forecast in portions of New England.
Light to moderate snow spreads from the northern Plains to the Great
Lakes by Friday; strong winter storm expected this weekend.
Shower and thunderstorm chances return to the Southern Plains and Gulf
Coast
The forecast remains on track for a low pressure system to deepen this
evening across the Interior Northeast and New England, producing periods
of snowfall while also reinforcing lake enhanced snow showers in its wake.
Minor to locally Moderate potential winter storm impacts can be expected
with this round of snowfall through tomorrow afternoon focused over
portions of northern New Hampshire and Maine, where high probabilities
(80-90%) of at least 4 inches of snow are noted.
Meanwhile, a separate winter storm is anticipated to produce a swath of
snow beginning tonight between the northern Plains and Great Lakes through
the end of the work week as a precipitation shield develops along an
emerging frontal wave, which shifts eastward by tomorrow night. High
probabilities for at least 4 inches of snow remain across northwest
Montana, with medium to high probabilities (40-80%) extending from
north-central Montana to central Minnesota, including southern South
Dakota, where a swath of Winter Weather Advisories are in effect. Greater
chances for moderate to heavy snow shifts to the Upper Midwest and Great
Lakes by Friday, where there is the potential for up to 10-12 inches of
snow. Beyond this first round of Northern Tier snowfall, the pattern will
remain quite active looking into this weekend as confidence is increasing
that a large storm system will produce a swath of heavy snow, freezing
rain, and sleet across portions of the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest
into early next week. Residents should remain weather aware and up to date
with the latest forecast as details change with these next two dynamic
snowfall events.
Elsewhere, unsettled weather is set to return to the southern Plains, Gulf
Coast, and parts of the West Coast. An uptick in shower and thunderstorm
activity is expected tonight and tomorrow over portions of Oklahoma and
Texas as a stubborn upper-low ejects into the Southern Plains tonight. By
tomorrow, rain could become heavy enough along the western Gulf Coast and
southeast Texas to produce isolated flooding concerns. This system is
forecast to progress eastward into the Gulf of Mexico on Friday, spreading
showers and thunderstorms along the entire Gulf Coast, as well as
eventually Florida and the Southeast by late Friday. However, both the
severe and flooding threat associated with this system remain marginal.
For the West Coast, light to moderate rain is expected to move inland
across northern California and the coastal Midwest on Friday. As the axis
of precipitation along a frontal boundary intersects the Sierra on Friday
night, heavy snow is possible throughout the mountainous terrain.
Lake effect snow continues downwind of Lake Ontario, before a
developing low pressure system spreads snowfall east into northern New
England tomorrow...
Light to moderate snow enters the northern Plains midweek and pushes
into the Upper Midwest on Thursday.
Shower and thunderstorm chances return to the Southern Plains and
western Gulf Coast.
Cool and breezy weather remains entrenched across the eastern half of the
country as a secondary cold front over the Midwest reinforces the chilly
airmass overhead. One consequence of the renewed northwest flow crossing
over relatively warm lake waters will be additional lake effect snow
showers focused downwind of Lake Ontario in New York, which will be
further enhanced as a low pressure system crosses from southern Ontario,
Canada towards Maine through early Thursday. The forecast continues to
highlight Medium probabilities (40-70%) for at least 6 inches of snow
through Thursday across portions of the Interior Northeast and New
England. Gusty winds and below average temperatures are forecast in the
system's wake, with highs only expected to reach into the 30s and 40s
throughout the Great Lakes, Ohio Valley, and Northeast by the end of the
work week.
Over the nation's Heartland, snow potential will return to the Northern
Plains and Rockies tomorrow morning as a stalling cold front interacts
with favorable jet stream dynamics. Northwest Montana maintains the
highest chances of seeing over 4 inches of snowfall (80%), although
portions of the Northern Plains and Midwest could locally exceed 4 inches
by Friday as a low pressure wave spins up along the aforementioned
stationary front. Uncertainty remains on exactly where the heaviest
snowbands may set up, but residents should remain weather aware and
prepare for potentially difficult travel across the Upper Midwest between
Thursday night and Friday morning.
In the warm sector of the font, rain and thunderstorm chances return on
Wednesday as an upper low lingering over the Southwest finally ejects
eastward. A few isolated thunderstorms could turn severe over western
Oklahoma and the Texas Panhandle, as well as south-central Texas. By
Thursday, heavy rain may develop along the Texas and Louisiana Gulf Coast,
which could lead to isolated flooding concerns.
As far as the temperature highlights for the short term time period,
lingering frost concerns remain across portions of the Southeast through
tomorrow morning, although this cold snap is forecast to be short-lived as
temperatures warm to near average by Thursday across the South. Meanwhile,
above average temperatures are expected today across the central Plains
and Northwest. A few daily temperature records remain possible today
across the northern Great Basin and Pacific Northwest as thermometer
readings soar into the 70s.
Heavy lake-effect snow downwind from Lakes Erie and Ontario; moderate
to heavy lake-effect snow over the eastern U.P. of Michigan.
Light to moderate snow over parts of the Northern High Plains on
Wednesday.
There is a Marginal Risk of severe thunderstorms over parts of
Florida.
A front moving off of Florida will create showers and strong to severe
thunderstorms over Florida. Therefore, the SPC has issued a Marginal Risk
(level 1/5) of severe thunderstorms over parts of Florida through Tuesday
morning. The hazards associated with these thunderstorms are frequent
lightning, severe thunderstorm wind gusts, hail, and a few tornadoes. By
Tuesday, the showers and thunderstorms move off the southern tip of
Florida as the front moves offshore.
Meanwhile, upper-level energy over the Ohio Valley into the Northeast will
move off the Northeast Coast by Tuesday morning. Additionally, upper-level
energy will move over the Great Lakes into the Northeast on Tuesday.
Furthermore, a second front moving south and eastward from Central Canada
will move over parts of the Northern Plains/Upper Mississippi Valley on
Monday evening, moving to the Great Lakes by Tuesday and to the Northeast
Coast by Wednesday. The energy, and later the front, will aid in creating
lake-effect snow downwind from the Great Lakes through Wednesday. With the
front, moderate to heavy snow will develop over the eastern U.P. of
Michigan Tuesday evening into Wednesday. Additionally, heavy lake-effect
snow develops downwind from Lakes Erie and Ontario. Further, moderate snow
will develop over the higher elevations of the Northeast through Wednesday
evening and snow showers over parts of the Ohio Valley and the Central
Appalachians through Tuesday afternoon.
Along the western end of the front moving out of Canada, snow will develop
over parts of the Northern Rockies/Northern High Plains overnight Tuesday
into Wednesday.
Moreover, an upper-level low over the Southern California/Southwest will
slowly move eastward to the Southern High Plains by Wednesday evening. The
energy will produce snow and lower-elevation rain over parts of the
Southwest and Southern Rockies, lingering through Wednesday afternoon. As
the energy moves out of the Rockies, showers and thunderstorms will
develop over parts of the Southern Plains. Farther north, a dissipating
front moves near the Pacific Northwest on Wednesday into Wednesday
afternoon and will produce rain over parts of the Northwest.
Heavy lake-effect snow downwind from Lakes Erie and Ontario; snow over
the Southwest/Southern Rockies.
There is a Slight Risk of excessive rainfall over parts of the Central
Gulf Coast
There is a Marginal Risk of severe thunderstorms over parts of the
Central Gulf Coast and Florida.
A front extending from Maine over the Western Atlantic, coming back
onshore over the Southeast, and stretching across the Gulf Coast on Sunday
will slowly move southward across Florida by Monday evening. A wave of low
pressure on the boundary over the Central Gulf Coast moves eastward to the
Southeast by Monday. The circulation around the low will pull moisture off
the Gulf of Mexico, aiding in the production of showers and thunderstorms
with heavy rain over parts of the Central Gulf Coast. Therefore, the WPC
has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/4) of excessive rainfall over parts of
the Central Gulf Coast through Monday morning. The associated heavy rain
will create mainly localized areas of flash flooding, with urban areas,
roads, and small streams the most vulnerable.
In addition, the thunderstorms will be strong to severe along parts of the
Central/Eastern Gulf Coast. Therefore, the SPC has issued a Marginal Risk
(level 1/5) of severe thunderstorms over parts of the Central/Eastern Gulf
Coast through Monday morning. The hazards associated with these
thunderstorms are frequent lightning, severe thunderstorm wind gusts, and
a minimal threat of tornadoes and hail.
On Monday, the threat of excessive rainfall ends over the Gulf Coast.
However, the threat of showers and strong to severe thunderstorms moves
over Florida. Therefore, the SPC has issued a Marginal Risk (level 1/5) of
severe thunderstorms over parts of Florida from Monday into Tuesday
morning. The hazards associated with these thunderstorms are frequent
lightning, severe thunderstorm wind gusts, and hail, with a minimal threat
of tornadoes. By Tuesday, the showers and thunderstorms move off the
southern tip of Florida as the front moves offshore.
Meanwhile, upper-level energy over the Upper Midwest into the Northeast
will aid in creating lake-effect snow downwind from the Great Lakes, with
moderate to heavy snow downwind from Lakes Erie and Ontario through
Tuesday evening. Additionally, moderate snow will develop over the higher
elevations of the Northeast, with snow showers over parts of the Ohio
Valley and the Central Appalachians through Tuesday afternoon.
Moreover, an upper-level low over the Four Corners Region will produce
snow and lower-elevation rain over parts of the Southwest and Southern
Rockies, lingering through Tuesday.
Furthermore, a second front moving south and eastward from Central Canada
will move over parts of the Northern Plains/Upper Mississippi Valley on
Monday afternoon, moving to the Great Lakes by Tuesday. The system will
produce light snow over parts of the Upper Mississippi Valley overnight
Monday and of the Upper Great Lakes on Tuesday.
Heavy lake-effect snow over parts of the western U.P. of Michigan and
lake-effect snow downwind from the Great Lakes; moderate to heavy snow
over the Southern Rockies.
There is a Slight Risk of excessive rainfall over parts of the Southern
Plains and Western/Central Gulf Coast.
There is a Slight Risk of severe thunderstorms over parts of southern
Texas.
A front extending from the Great Lakes to the Central Plains will move off
the Northeast Coast by Sunday evening. In the wake of the front,
upper-level energy moves across the Great Lakes and the Northeast through
Monday evening. The upper-level energy will create lake-effect snow
downwind from the Great Lakes. The heaviest lake-effect snow will be over
the western portion of the U.P. of Michigan from Saturday evening into
Sunday evening. A second area of heavy lake-effect snow will develop
downwind from Lake Ontario Sunday night into Monday. In addition, snow
will develop over parts of the Central Appalachians and the higher
elevations of the Northeast, likewise, from Sunday evening into Monday.
Moreover, an upper-level low over the Four Corners Region will produce
moderate to heavy snow over parts of the Central/Southern Rockies through
Sunday evening. The energy will also create snow and lower-elevation rain
over parts of the Great Basin, Southwest, and Southern Rockies through
Monday.
Meanwhile, a second front extending from the Southeast to southern Texas
will move off the Gulf Coast on Monday. With favorable upper-level flow,
showers and severe thunderstorms develop over parts of southern Texas.
Therefore, the SPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/5) of severe
thunderstorms over parts of southern Texas through Sunday morning.
The hazards associated with these thunderstorms are frequent lightning,
severe thunderstorm wind gusts, hail, and a few tornadoes. Further, there
is an increased threat of hail, two inches or greater, over South-Central
Texas.
Furthermore, the showers and thunderstorms will also have heavy rain over
parts of the Southern Plains/Western Gulf Coast. Therefore, the WPC has
issued a Slight Risk (level 2/4) of excessive rainfall over parts of the
Southern Plains/Western Gulf Coast through Sunday morning. The associated
heavy rain will create mainly localized areas of flash flooding, with
urban areas, roads, and small streams the most vulnerable.
On Sunday, the severe thunderstorm threat decreases slightly to a Marginal
Risk (level 1/5) along the Western/Central Gulf Coast through Monday
morning. Moreover, the showers and thunderstorms will produce heavy rain
over the Central Gulf Coast. Therefore, the WPC has issued a Slight Risk
(level 2/4) of excessive rainfall over parts of the Central Gulf Coast
from Sunday into Monday morning. The associated heavy rain will create
mainly localized areas of flash flooding, with urban areas, roads, and
small streams the most vulnerable. The threat of excessive rainfall ends
by Monday. However, showers and thunderstorms will develop over parts of
Florida through Monday evening.
Heavy mountain snow expands across Four Corners and Southern Rockies
this weekend.
Severe Thunderstorm and Excessive Rainfall chances shift south into the
Southeast and Gulf Coast States.
Mild weather continues across the Pacific Northwest and East Coast.
A closed upper low will continue spinning over the Southwest this weekend,
while an upper ridge builds over the Northwest and a deep trough descends
into the Great Lakes/Midwest. Shortwave energy will round the base of the
closed low in the Southwest and accelerate through Texas and the Gulf
Coast leading to heightened Severe Weather and Excessive Rainfall threats
this weekend. At the surface, a slow moving cold front will eventually
stall out along the Gulf Coast and be the focus for thunderstorms and
heavy rainfall. Tonight, scattered to isolated thunderstorms (some severe)
will develop along the cold front extending from the Edwards Plateau into
south-central Texas. An Enhanced Risk (level 3/5) of Severe Thunderstorms
is in effect for those areas tonight, while a Slight Risk (level 2/5)
extends from there out across the central Gulf Coast and into the Florida
panhandle, where very large hail and isolated damaging winds are expected.
In addition to that, a Slight Risk of Excessive Rainfall (at least 15%) is
in effect for those same areas where 3-4 inches of rainfall may
accumulate. The Slight Severe Weather and Excessive Rainfall Risks
continue over southern Texas on Saturday where the cold front will stall
out. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue across the central
Gulf Coast as well.
While heavy snow diminishes later today across the central Rockies, heavy
snow will expand and intensify across the Four Corners this weekend and is
likely to redevelop over the Southern Rockies on Sunday. For the higher
elevations of the Southwest and Four Corners region, including portions of
the Mogollon Rim north into the southern Wasatch and the San Juans, snow
probabilities for amounts of at least 12 inches are moderate to high
(50-90%). Localized totals up to 2 feet are possible. By Sunday, the
heaviest snowfall is expected to transition to the Sangre de Cristo and
Jemez Mountains. Heavy snow rates of up to 2"/hr and gusty winds exceeding
35mph (locally higher to 50mph) will cause blowing snow and reduced
visibility, especially across the mountain roads and passes. This will
create difficult to at times impossible travel, with road closures likely.
Disruptions to infrastructure due to power outages are possible as well.
Elsewhere, an upper ridge will promote increasing heights and above
average temperatures for the Northwest this weekend. High temperatures in
the 60s and 70s will be 15-25 degrees above average for this time of year.
Meanwhile, a deep upper level trough will supply ample southerly flow into
the East Coast through Sunday after which a cold front will sweep through
and return temperatures to seasonal averages. This weekend though, highs
should be 5-15 degrees above average up and down the coast.
Heavy snow continues into tonight for the Central Rockies and adjacent
foothills/High Plains before gradually tapering off through Friday.
A long-duration event of mountain snow and lower-elevation rain
expected over the Four Corners region into the weekend.
Severe thunderstorms and excessive rainfall expected to push
southeastward from the Southern Plains/Mississippi Valley Thursday evening
further into Texas and the Southeast region on Friday, continuing in Texas
Saturday
Mild weather continues from the central to the eastern U.S. going into
the weekend
An amplifying upper-level trough/closed low continues to dig southward
into the western U.S. with a cold airmass settling in across the region.
Moisture flowing in ahead of the trough continues to lead to very heavy
snow over portions of the Central Rockies into the adjacent High Plains,
particularly along the Front Range. Snow rates upwards of 2"/hr will bring
several more inches of snow through tonight with storm total snowfall of
1-2 feet, locally as much as 2-4 feet. Gusty winds leading to blowing snow
will make travel very dangerous to impossible, with many of the local
interstates already closed. The snow should begin to gradually taper off
Thursday night and into Friday morning. Snowfall will then shift a bit to
the southwest over the Four Corners region as the upper-low settles in
overhead for the next couple of days. Waves of heavy snow will bring 12"+
of snowfall to the higher elevations of the regional mountain ranges into
this weekend. Lower elevations of the Four Corners will see a mix of rain
and snow, though any accumulations should remain limited, with rain also
spreading to the Desert Southwest. Some thunderstorms will also be
possible. Precipitation chances should continue at least through Saturday
evening.
To the east, widespread showers and thunderstorms will continue along and
head of a wavy cold front stretching from the Great Lakes/Midwest
southwestward through the Middle Mississippi Valley and into the Southern
Plains. The Storm Prediction Center has outlined an Enhanced Risk of
severe weather (level 3/5) from north Texas northeastward into eastern
Oklahoma, northwestern Arkansas, and southern Missouri through tonight
where the best combination of strong buoyancy and both low-level and
deep-layer wind shear are expected to lead to some supercell storms.
Storms will likely begin to cluster into the evening bringing more of a
large hail and damaging wind threat, though a few tornadoes will remain
possible with any remaining discrete/semi-discrete storms, including the
potential for a strong tornado. A broader Slight Risk (level 2/5) is in
place from the Southern Plains northeastward through the Middle
Mississippi Valley/Mid-South and into the Ohio Valley where some more
isolated instances of large hail, damaging winds, and a few tornadoes are
possible. In addition, a southerly influx of deep moisture from the Gulf
of Mexico along with storms clustering/motions increasingly parallel to
the frontal boundary will bring the threat of some very heavy downpours
and the risk of scattered instances of flash flooding, with a Slight Risk
of Excessive Rainfall (level 2/4) overlapping the Enhanced severe risk,
and continuing downstream into the Mid-South as storms move eastward
overnight.
Elsewhere, a clipper system dropping southeastward from Canada into the
Upper Midwest/Great Lakes by Friday evening will bring some light to
moderate rain/snow shower chances into Saturday. Temperature-wise, above
average highs will continue to bring an early taste of Spring to most of
the central and eastern U.S. heading into the weekend.
A long-duration event of mountain snow and lower-elevation rain
expected over the Four Corners region into the weekend.
Severe thunderstorms and excessive rainfall expected to push
southeastward from the Southern Plains/Mississippi Valley Thursday evening
further into Texas and the Southeast region on Friday, continuing in Texas
Saturday.
Mild weather continues from the central to the eastern U.S. going into
the weekend.
An amplifying upper-level trough/closed low continues to dig southward
into the western U.S. with a cold airmass settling in across the region.
Moisture flowing in ahead of the trough continues to lead to very heavy
snow over portions of the Central Rockies into the adjacent High Plains,
particularly along the Front Range. Snow rates upwards of 2"/hr will bring
several more inches of snow through tonight with storm total snowfall of
1-2 feet, locally as much as 2-4 feet. Gusty winds leading to blowing snow
will make travel very dangerous to impossible, with many of the local
interstates already closed. The snow should begin to gradually taper off
Thursday night and into Friday morning. Snowfall will then shift a bit to
the southwest over the Four Corners region as the upper-low settles in
overhead for the next couple of days. Waves of heavy snow will bring 12"+
of snowfall to the higher elevations of the regional mountain ranges into
this weekend. Lower elevations of the Four Corners will see a mix of rain
and snow, though any accumulations should remain limited, with rain also
spreading to the Desert Southwest. Some thunderstorms will also be
possible. Precipitation chances should continue at least through Saturday
evening.
To the east, widespread showers and thunderstorms will continue along and
head of a wavy cold front stretching from the Great Lakes/Midwest
southwestward through the Middle Mississippi Valley and into the Southern
Plains. The Storm Prediction Center has outlined an Enhanced Risk of
severe weather (level 3/5) from north Texas northeastward into eastern
Oklahoma, northwestern Arkansas, and southern Missouri through tonight
where the best combination of strong buoyancy and both low-level and
deep-layer wind shear are expected to lead to some supercell storms.
Storms will likely begin to cluster into the evening bringing more of a
large hail and damaging wind threat, though a few tornadoes will remain
possible with any remaining discrete/semi-discrete storms, including the
potential for a strong tornado. A broader Slight Risk (level 2/5) is in
place from the Southern Plains northeastward through the Middle
Mississippi Valley/Mid-South and into the Ohio Valley where some more
isolated instances of large hail, damaging winds, and a few tornadoes are
possible. In addition, a southerly influx of deep moisture from the Gulf
of Mexico along with storms clustering/motions increasingly parallel to
the frontal boundary will bring the threat of some very heavy downpours
and the risk of scattered instances of flash flooding, with a Slight Risk
of Excessive Rainfall (level 2/4) overlapping the Enhanced severe risk,
and continuing downstream into the Mid-South as storms move eastward
overnight.
Heavy snow over parts of Central Rockies Wednesday night into
Thursday.
There is a Slight Risk of severe thunderstorms over the Plains and
Mississippi Valley from Wednesday to Thursday,
There is a Slight Risk of excessive rainfall over parts of the Southern
Plains/Lower Mississippi Valley on Thursday.
A front extending from the Northern High Plains to the Great Basin will
merge with a front extending from the Upper Great Lakes to the Southern
High Plains overnight Wednesday, moving to the Southern Plains and
Southwest by Thursday evening. The western boundary will produce coastal
rain with embedded thunderstorms and snow over the Cascades through
Wednesday morning. Snow will also develop over parts of the Northern
Intermountain Region, Great Basin, and Northern Rockies Through Wednesday
morning. On Wednesday, an upper-level low will develop over the Great
Basin. The upper-level low will draw moisture northwestward from the Gulf
of Mexico. Heavy snow will begin to develop over parts of the Central
Rockies Wednesday afternoon into evening.
Furthermore, the significant and long-duration winter storm will develop
across the Central and Southern Rockies beginning Wednesday, followed by a
round of heavy snow for the Southern Rockies and Four Corners region
Thursday night.
Further, snow probabilities are high (greater than 70% chance) for at
least 1 foot for most of the Colorado Rockies, the Front Range Mountains,
the Foothills, and the Palmer Divide. Localized higher amounts are
expected and could exceed 2 feet across the Front Range Mountains (30-50%
chance). Confidence is also increasing for a significant snowfall for the
I-25 corridor and snow probabilities for at least 8 inches are high
(greater than 70% chance).
A second phase of the winter storm will impact the Four Corners Region
beginning Thursday night. Waves of heavy snow will impact the terrain
areas north of the Mogollon Rim and northeast toward the San Juans and
southern Colorado Rockies. Snow probabilities for 8 inches are moderate to
high (greater than 50%). Localized totals above a foot are possible for
the higher terrain.
Hazardous to very difficult travel is expected as heavy snow and intense
snow rates at times (1-2 inches plus per hour) will lead to deteriorating
travel conditions beginning Wednesday and Wednesday night across the
Central/Southern Rockies and beginning across the Four Corners region
Thursday night.
Moreover, on Wednesday evening, as the front begins to merge with the
Eastern Front, showers and severe thunderstorms will develop over parts of
the Central Plains/Middle Mississippi Valley. Therefore, the SPC has
issued a Slight Risk (level 2/5) of severe thunderstorms over parts of the
Central Plains/Middle Mississippi Valley from Wednesday through Thursday
morning. The hazards associated with these thunderstorms are frequent
lightning, severe thunderstorm wind gusts, hail, and a few tornadoes.
Additionally, there is an increased threat of hail two inches or greater
over parts of the area.
Furthermore, overnight Wednesday, showers and thunderstorms will expand
along the front from the Central Plains/Middle Mississippi Valley into the
Ohio Valley/Great Lakes and extend into parts of the Southern Plains/Lower
Mississippi Valley.
On Thursday, showers and severe thunderstorms will extend from the Middle
Mississippi Valley to the Southern Plains/Lower Mississippi Valley.
Therefore, the SPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/5) of severe
thunderstorms over parts of the Middle Mississippi Valley to the Southern
Plains/Lower Mississippi Valley on Thursday. The hazards associated with
these thunderstorms are frequent lightning, severe thunderstorm wind
gusts, hail, and a few torna
Great Weather for Spring Break all this week in South Florida.
Unsettled weather is expected from the Pacific Northwest and northern
California into the central Rockies with lower-elevation rain and higher
elevation snow through mid-week.
An increased risk of wildfires will shift southward from the central
Plains today into the southern High Plains for Tuesday and Wednesday.
Anomalously warm temperatures to expand eastward from the Upper Midwest
into the Ohio Valley, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast through Wednesday.
An upper level disturbance over the western U.S. today will weaken as it
translates eastward, to be followed by a stronger impulse to reach the
West Coast this evening. A Pacific front will move across the western U.S.
through Wednesday, bringing mountain snow and lower elevation rain, along
with cooler than average temperatures. Snowfall totals of 6-12 inches are
expected into the higher terrain with totals over a foot likely for the
highest elevations across the West into the northern and central Rockies.
Rain or a rain/snow mix can be expected for the lower elevations as the
storm system advances south and east.
Low relative humidity and gusty winds have prompted Critical Risk fire
weather concerns across a good portion of central Plains into the Texas
Panhandle and a portion of eastern Wyoming through the rest of Monday. A
surface low will develop across the central High Plains on Tuesday,
advancing eastward with time. Dry conditions with gusty winds will shift
fire weather concerns into the southern High Plains for Tuesday and
Wednesday while precipitation develops northward during the day on
Wednesday.
The departure of a strong surface low near Nova Scotia into the western
Atlantic will allow for a gradual lowering of gusty winds across the
northern Mid-Atlantic and Northeast through Tuesday. Breezy conditions are
likely to remain for northern New England into Tuesday night, but overall
improvement is expected. High pressure over the southern U.S. will slide
eastward over the next couple of days, allowing winds to return from the
south, bringing warmer temperatures northward. The greatest departures
from normal highs will remain over the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes
region on Tuesday which may cause a few record daily maximum temperatures
to be broken, but the magnitude of the anomalous warmth is likely to be
lower on Tuesday compared to Monday. High temperatures in the 60s to lower
70s will expand eastward through Wednesday across the Ohio Valley and
portions of the northern Mid-Atlantic into the Northeast, roughly 15 to 25
degrees above mid-March averages. With the warmer weather will come the
threat for thunderstorms across portions of the central U.S. Some severe
thunderstorms will be possible ahead of a dryline from eastern
Oklahoma/Kansas into western Missouri on Tuesday with a broader risk
across some of these same areas on Wednesday.
Colder temperatures and strong gusty winds to impact the Northeast into
Monday as snow continues to impact the northern Appalachians and portions
of the lower Great Lakes.
Unsettled weather is expected to persist across the Pacific Northwest
and into the northern Rockies with multiple rounds of lower-elevation rain
and higher elevation snow.
Fire danger to increase across the central and southern High Plains
from very dry conditions, gusty winds, and warm temperatures.
A strong area of low pressure will continue to impact the Northeast going
through tonight and early Monday with areas of locally heavy snow
continuing across portions of the northern Appalachians and especially the
higher terrain from the Adirondacks of New York up across the Green and
White Mountains of Vermont and New Hampshire respectively. A combination
of moisture wrapping around the deep low center and much colder air
pouring southeast from Canada will result in locally an additional 6 to 12
inches of snow before the snow begins to taper off by later Monday.
Meanwhile, the cold air pouring southeast over the lower Great Lakes will
yield a continuation of locally heavy lake-effect snow shower activity and
squalls. Portions of northwest Pennsylvania, western New York, and the
higher terrain of the central Appalachians are expected to see a few more
inches of snow this evening and overnight before the activity begins to
taper off early Monday.
In the wake of the gradually departing low center over the Northeast,
temperatures to start off the new week will be generally below normal
across the Eastern Seaboard and most of the Gulf Coast region. High
pressure will settle down across the region going through Tuesday before
then gradually advancing offshore. Temperatures are expected to begin
rebounding rather quickly for much of the East and the South by later
Tuesday as milder air from the Plains and Midwest advances east and
couples with warm air beginning to return north from the Gulf of Mexico.
Temperatures over the next couple of days will be well above normal across
especially the central and northern Plains and the Midwest which will then
gradually advance into the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley. High temperatures
across portions of eastern South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, and Wisconsin
are forecast to be as much as 30 to 40 degrees above normal on Monday and
Tuesday with temperatures approaching or locally exceeding 70 degrees.
Some cities will likely be warm enough to see their daily high temperature
records either tied or broken.
Very warm temperatures over the central and southern High Plains are
expected going through the first half of the week, and this coupled with
increasingly gusty winds and low relative humidity will promote an
increased risk of wildfire activity. In fact, the Storm Prediction Center
has highlighted large areas of the central and southern High Plains in an
elevated to critical fire danger area. This will include the panhandles of
Texas and Oklahoma where devastating fires occurred a couple weeks ago.
Meanwhile across the Pacific Northwest, multiple low pressure systems
arriving from the Pacific will bring frequent rounds of precipitation
onshore and then farther inland into the northern Rockies early this week.
Moderate to locally heavy rain is expected for the coastal ranges with
heavy snow over the higher elevations of the Cascades, northern Sierra
Nevada, and the Sawtooth, Bitterroot, and Teton ranges of the northern
Rockies. As much as 1 to 2 feet of new snow can be expected, with
generally the heaviest totals expected over the Washington Cascades.
Locally heavy rains and strong winds are expected for portions of the
northern Mid-Atlantic and southern New England through tonight
Heavy wet snow and strong winds are expected across portions of the
northern Appalachians tonight through Sunday followed by lake-effect snows
across the lower Great Lakes into Monday morning.
Unsettled weather is expected across the Pacific Northwest and into the
northern Rockies as multiple rounds of lower-elevation rain and higher
elevation snow arrives.
Multiple consolidating areas of low pressure along with the arrival of a
couple of cold fronts along the Eastern Seaboard will yield areas of heavy
precipitation overnight, and particularly from parts of the northern
Mid-Atlantic and into the Northeast. This will include locally heavy rain
for portions of eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey up across southeast
New York and into southern New England. As a consolidated area of
deepening low pressure approaches and crosses through southern and eastern
New England, locally strong winds, especially for New England can be
expected as well.
Sufficient cold air is expected to filter south into the northern
Appalachians to allow for the rain overspreading areas of northern New
York and northern New England to change over to snow later tonight into
Sunday, and as much as 6 to 12 inches of heavy wet snow can be expected
along with strong gusty winds as low pressure lifts northeast across the
region. Locally heavier snowfall totals can be expected over the higher
peaks of especially Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. On the back side of
the departing area of low pressure, colder air will be surging southeast
across the Great Lakes and into much of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast,
and this will gradually favor areas of heavy lake-enhanced snow showers
and squalls. Portions of the lower Great Lakes and even the central
Appalachians are expected to see locally over 6 inches of snow from the
lake effect potential.
Elsewhere, unsettled weather will impact the Pacific Northwest and the
northern Rockies as multiple fronts and surges of Pacific moisture arrive
across the terrain going into early next week. Moderate to locally heavy
rain is expected for the coastal ranges with heavy snow over the higher
elevations of the Cascades, northern Sierra Nevada, and the Sawtooth and
Bitterroot range of the northern Rockies. The heaviest snows should be
over the Washington Cascades going through Monday where 1 to 2 feet of new
snow can be expected.
Temperatures will generally be cooler than normal across the Mid-Atlantic
and Northeast for the end of the weekend and early next week, but will be
much warmer than normal across much of the central and northern U.S.
otherwise. Near normal temperatures are expected over much of the West.
Snow gradually tapering off over the central High Plains as well as
central/southern Rockies.
Threat of flash flooding and severe weather expected to sweep across
the Deep South to the Southeast the next couple of days.
An intensifying low pressure system will bring locally heavy rain and
strong winds from the Ohio Valley to New England late Saturday into
Sunday.
Wet snow expected across the Great Lakes to northern New England late
Saturday to Sunday as next round of rain and mountain snow reaches the
Pacific Northwest.
The mid-section of the country will be in an unsettled pattern with active
to locally severe weather into the weekend as upper-level Pacific moisture
in association with a subtropical jet stream will interacts with a cold
air mass dipping into the center of the country. Meanwhile lower-level
moisture from the Gulf of Mexico will be ingested into the system as well.
These complex interactions will result in an axis of heavy rain and
possibly severe weather to develop over the Lower Mississippi Valley
spreading across the Gulf states and into the Southeast by Saturday. The
Storm Prediction Center has Slight Risks in effect for sever weather
through Sunday morning for parts of the Deep South and Southeast. The
Weather Prediction Center has Moderate an Slight Risks in effect for much
of the same region for excessive rainfall and flooding concerns.
Meanwhile to the north, a low-level disturbance that has been sustaining
locally heavy snow over the central High Plains is forecast to weaken and
allow the snow there, as well as the snow over the central to southern
Rockies, to gradually taper off into this evening. By Saturday, a low
pressure center is forecast to consolidate over the Ohio Valley when the
system intensifies more rapidly and tracks northeastward into the lower
Great Lakes Saturday night. This will lead to areas of locally heavy rain
along with increasingly strong and gusty winds to develop from the Ohio
Valley to New England late Saturday into Sunday. Colder air wrapping
around the low pressure center is expected to change the rain to wet snow
from across the Great Lakes to portions of northern New England especially
for the higher elevations.
In the wake of these systems high pressure will build in over the central
U.S. and will promote drying out Saturday. The dry weather will extend
into much of the western U.S. However, moisture associated with the next
Pacific system is forecast to reach the Olympic Peninsula later today with
rain for the lower elevations and snow for rather high elevations. The
rain and mountain snow will expand southward across Oregon and into
northern California on Saturday into Saturday night. The Cascades will
see snow picking up intensity on Saturday as the next batch of moisture
gets ready to reach the coastline of the Pacific Northwest by early on
Sunday.
Scattered heavy snow over parts of Central/Southern Rockies...
There is a threat of flash flooding and severe weather that moves
eastward each day from the Southern Plains to the Southeast from Thursday
to Saturday.
here is a Moderate Risk of excessive rainfall over parts of the
Southeast on Friday.
A front extending from the Upper Great Lakes to the Southern High Plains
on Thursday evening moves eastward to the Lower Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic,
and Central Gulf Coast by Saturday evening. Moisture pooling along the
front will aid in developing showers and severe thunderstorms over parts
of the Central/Southern Plains and Middle Mississippi Valley. Therefore,
the SPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/5) of severe thunderstorms over
parts of the Southern Plains through Friday morning. The hazards
associated with these thunderstorms are frequent lightning, severe
thunderstorm wind gusts, hail, and a few tornadoes. Additionally, there is
an increased threat of hail two inches or greater over parts of the area.
Moreover, the front will create heavy rain over parts of the Southern
Plains. Therefore, the WPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/4) of
excessive rainfall over parts of the Southern Plains through Friday
morning. The associated heavy rain will create mainly localized areas of
flash flooding, with urban areas, roads, and small streams the most
vulnerable.
In addition, the associated upper-level energy will produce scattered
heavy snow over parts of the Central/Southern Rockies through overnight
Friday. Further, the same upper-level energy will also create rain and
higher-elevation snow over parts of Central/Southern California, the Great
Basin, and the Southwest from Thursday evening into Friday evening.
On Friday, as the system moves eastward, showers and thunderstorms will
expand into the Ohio, Middle/Lower Mississippi, and Tennessee Valleys,
along with the Southeast and Central/Southern Appalachians. The threat of
excessive rainfall increases over parts of the Southeast. Therefore, the
WPC has issued a Moderate Risk (level 3/4) of excessive rainfall over the
Southeast from Friday into Saturday morning. The associated heavy rain
will create numerous areas of flash flooding. Furthermore, many streams
may flood, potentially affecting larger rivers.
Additionally, showers and severe thunderstorms will develop over parts of
the Southern Plains to Southeast. Therefore, the SPC has issued a Slight
Risk (level 2/5) of severe thunderstorms over parts of the Southern Plains
to the Southeast from Friday into Saturday morning. The hazards associated
with these thunderstorms are frequent lightning, severe thunderstorm wind
gusts, hail, and a few tornadoes. Additionally, there is an increased
threat of hail two inches or greater over parts of the Southern
Plains/Lower Mississippi Valley.
Moreover, the system will produce light to moderate snow over parts of the
Upper Great Lakes on Friday, extending into the Great Lakes on Saturday.
Rain will develop South of the snow in parts of the Great Lakes, mainly
changing over the snow by Saturday evening.
On Saturday, the threat of excessive rainfall and severe thunderstorms
move east into the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast. Therefore, the WPC has
issued a Slight Risk (level 2/4) of excessive rainfall over parts of the
southern mid-Atlantic on Saturday. The associated heavy rain will create
mainly localized areas of flash flooding, with urban areas, roads, and
small streams the most vulnerable.
Heavy snow over parts of Central Rockies Thursday night into Friday and
snow over northern Maine.
There is a Slight Risk of excessive rainfall over parts of Southern New
England and northern Mid-Atlantic through Thursday morning.
There is a Slight Risk of excessive rainfall over parts of the Lower
Mississippi Valley/Southeast/Southern Appalachians on Friday.
There is a Slight Risk of severe thunderstorms over parts of the
Southern Plains into the Lower Mississippi Valley Thursday into Friday.
A front extending southward along the East Coast moves eastward off the
East Coast by Thursday evening. Moisture pooling along the front will aid
in developing heavy rain over parts of the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic.
Therefore, through Thursday morning, the WPC has issued a Slight Risk
(level 2/4) of excessive rainfall over parts of Southern New
England/northern Mid-Atlantic. The associated heavy rain will create
mainly localized areas of flash flooding, with urban areas, roads, and
small streams the most vulnerable. Rain will continue over parts of New
England into the Mid-Atlantic Coast on Thursday evening. Snow will also
develop over northern Maine and patches of rain/freezing rain over parts
of northeastern New York State into parts of Northern New England.
Moreover, a second front extending from the Upper Midwest to Southern
California will move eastward to the Great Lakes to the Southern Plains by
Friday evening. The system will produce snow from the Upper Mississippi
Valley to the Central High Plains and a broader region of snow over parts
of the Great Basin/Southwest/Central Rockies and Northern Intermountain
Region through Thursday evening. Additionally, rain will develop over
parts of California through Thursday evening.
Furthermore, a wave of low pressure over Southern California on Wednesday
evening moves eastward to the Central/Southern Rockies by Thursday
evening. The circulation around the low will aid in creating heavy snow
over the Central Rockies through Friday evening. Additionally, snow will
develop over parts of the higher elevations of the Southwest and Southern
Rockies.
By Thursday evening, the front will move into parts of the Southern
Plains, producing showers and severe thunderstorms. Therefore, the SPC has
issued a Slight Risk (level 2/5) of severe thunderstorms over parts of the
Southern Plains on Thursday into Friday morning. The hazards associated
with these thunderstorms are frequent lightning, severe thunderstorm wind
gusts, hail, and a few tornadoes.
On Friday, the associated front moves to the Middle Mississippi Valley
into the Southern Plains. Moisture will pool along the boundary, producing
heavy rain over parts of the Lower Mississippi/Tennessee Valleys,
Southeast, and Southern Appalachians. Therefore, the WPC has issued a
Slight Risk (level 2/4) of excessive rainfall over parts of the Lower
Mississippi/Tennessee Valleys, Southeast, and Southern Appalachians on
Friday. The associated heavy rain will create mainly localized areas of
flash flooding, with urban areas, roads, and small streams the most
vulnerable.
Also, on Friday, the front will create showers and severe thunderstorms
over parts of the Southern Plains, Lower Mississippi Valley, and Central
Gulf Coast. Therefore, the SPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/5) of
severe thunderstorms over parts of the Southern Plains, Lower Mississippi
Valley, and Central Gulf Coast on Friday. The hazards associated with
these thunderstorms are frequent lightning, severe thunderstorm wind
gusts, hail, and a few tornadoes.
Elsewhere, on Friday, an approaching front will create rain over parts of
the Pacific Northwest Coast.
Heavy snow over parts of Northern/Central Rockies.
There is a Slight Risk of excessive rainfall over parts of Southern New
England/northern Mid-Atlantic on Wednesday.
There is a Slight Risk of severe thunderstorms over parts of the
Southern Plains on Thursday.
Low pressure along the northern Mid-Atlantic Coast will move northeastward
into Southeast Canada by Wednesday morning. The low will develop light
rain over New England through Wednesday morning.
Additionally, a front extending from the Lower Great Lakes to the Southern
Plains will move eastward off the East Coast by Thursday evening. Moisture
pooling along the front will aid in developing showers and thunderstorms
over parts of the Lower Mississippi Valley northeastward to the Lower
Great Lakes through late Tuesday evening. Overnight Tuesday, the showers
and thunderstorms will be over parts of the Central Gulf Coast and
Southeast. The showers and thunderstorms will move off the Southeast Coast
overnight Wednesday. Further, light rain will develop over parts of the
Ohio Valley into parts of the Northeast by Wednesday morning.
On Wednesday, the system will produce rain over parts of the Northeast and
Mid-Atlantic. The rain over Southern New England/northern Mid-Atlantic
will be heavy. Therefore, the WPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/4) of
excessive rainfall over parts of Southern New England/northern
Mid-Atlantic from Wednesday through Thursday morning. The associated heavy
rain will create mainly localized areas of flash flooding, with urban
areas, roads, and small streams the most vulnerable. On Thursday, rain
will continue over parts of New England, with snow over northern Maine.
Moreover, a wave of low pressure along a front over the Northern/Central
Rockies will produce heavy snow over parts of the area through Wednesday.
The associated boundary will linger through late Wednesday afternoon,
producing light snow at the higher elevations. In addition, weak onshore
flow will aid in creating light rain over parts of Northern California
through late Wednesday night.
Overnight Tuesday, the onshore flow will move southward, producing rain
over parts of Central California through early Thursday morning. Moreover,
the onshore flow will move southward over Southern California, creating
light rain through Thursday evening.
Furthermore, the wave of low pressure moves eastward into the Northern
Plains by Wednesday morning and into Central Canada by Thursday. On
Wednesday, the low will produce light to moderate snow over parts of the
Northern Plains and the Upper Mississippi Valley.
The associated front will move southeastward over the Central Plains into
the Southern Plains by Thursday. On Thursday, the boundary will create
showers and severe thunderstorms over parts of the Southern plains.
Therefore, the SPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/5) of severe
thunderstorms over parts of the Southern Plains on Thursday. The hazards
associated with these thunderstorms are frequent lightning, severe
thunderstorm wind gusts, hail, and a few tornadoes.
.nother storm to bring additional heavy snows to northern California
and southern Oregon.
A wet weather pattern for large areas to the east of the Mississippi
River.
Much above average temperatures expected for much of the lower 48 to the
east of the Rockies over the next few days.
Record high early morning lows possible from the Lower Lakes/Ohio
Valley into the Northeast.
An area of low pressure off the northern California/Pacific Northwest
coast will be moving slowly southeastward Tuesday and Wednesday to a
position off the central to southern California coast. This storm will be
spreading additional moderate to heavy precipitation amounts into northern
California and southwestern Oregon over the next two days, with the
potential for additional snowfall totals of 1 to 2 feet from the southern
Oregon Cascades into the northern Sierra. While these totals will be much
less than the previous more long lasting storm, travel will remain
difficult and the additional heavy snows will exacerbate recovery from the
first storm. Winter storm warnings are in effect for the northern
Sierra, northern California Coast Range and into southern Oregon for
additional heavy snow amounts. The good news for this area of the country
is that after the next round of heavy snows, more tranquil weather is
expected for the remainder of the week.
A wet weather pattern is in store for large areas of the lower 48 to the
east of the Mississippi River over the next few days. This will be along
and to the east of a slow moving frontal boundary stretching southwest to
northeast from the Southern Plains into the Mid Mississippi Valley, Ohio
Valley and into the Northeast and ahead of two areas of low pressure
moving from the central Gulf coast up along the east coast. Moisture
values expected to be much above average along and to the east of this
front and ahead of the two areas of low pressure moving along the east
coast, supporting the potential for widespread regions of precipitation.
The heaviest rainfall totals expected from the central Gulf coast, across
portions of the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic where the two areas of low
pressure are expected to move across. The lead area of low pressure will
spread rains across the Mid-Atlantic Monday night and into the Northeast
on Tuesday. This will be followed by another low moving from the central
Gulf coast Tuesday night, into the Southeast Wednesday and the
Mid-Atlantic Wednesday night. Rainfall totals of 1 to 2 inches possible
across these regions, with isolated areas of flash flooding possible,
especially in urbanized areas of the central Gulf coast.
Much above average, spring like temperatures will persist for much of the
week for areas to the east of the Rockies. Many areas will see high
temperatures Tuesday and Wednesday 15 to 25+ degrees above average. The
warmest temperatures are expected across the Southern Plains into the
Lower Mississippi Valley where widespread highs in the 70s and 80s are
forecast. There are not expected to be any record high temperatures across
these areas over the few days, however, there is potential for widespread
record high morning low temperatures from the Lower Great Lakes into the
Northeast where the above mentioned much above average moisture values
will keep temperatures from cooling at night. Below to much below average
temperatures are expected from the Northern High Plains, Northern Rockies,
Pacific Northwest and northern California. Across these regions, high
temperatures are expected to be approximately 10 to 20 degrees colder than
average on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Snowy weather pattern continues in the interior mountains of
northwestern U.S. and down into the Sierra Nevada as the next round of
enhanced rainfall reaches northwestern California and southwestern Oregon
on Tuesday.
Accumulating snowfall near the Canadian border of the Northern Plains
expected to taper off early on Monday.
Another coastal storm is forecast to bring new round of rain up the
Atlantic coast from later Monday through Tuesday as some threat of heavy
rain emerges along the central Gulf Coast.
Much above average, Spring-like temperatures shifting from the
Plains/Midwest into the Northeast as Critical Fire Weather threat persists
through tonight in the central/southern High Plains.
As the main energy associated with the latest winter storm that impacted
the western U.S. moves off into the northern Plains, the intensity of the
snow and high winds along the Sierra Nevada as well as across the
Intermountain West will gradually wane through Monday. However,
reinforcing upper-level energies arriving from the Pacific with keep the
unstable cold air mass in place across a large section of the western
U.S., with frequent rounds of mountain snows continuing and reaching as
far east as the central Rockies through the next couple of days. From
later on Monday into Tuesday, another influx of moisture from the next
Pacific frontal system is expected to bring a renewed round of enhanced
rainfall from northwestern California to southwestern Oregon where some
locally heavy rainfall may occur. Some embedded thunderstorms could also
reach farther north along the coast of the Pacific Northwest and northern
California on Monday as added instability associated with a surface trough
edges toward the coast. The moisture will then penetrate inland, reaching
into the northern Rockies as a round of moderate to locally heavy mountain
snows on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, an intensifying low pressure system is bringing a round of
accumulating snowfall near the Canadian border of North Dakota with a
wintry mix farther east across northern Minnesota on Sunday. The
precipitation will taper off later tonight as the storm moves farther away
into southern Canada. To the south and east, the recent dry spell will
initially limit rainfall amounts along a wavy front trailing southwest
toward a developing low pressure system over the central High Plains.
However, persistent southerly flow from the Gulf of Mexico will eventually
direct moisture northward to expand an area of rain from the Midwest to
the Great Lakes later on Monday into Tuesday. Meanwhile, an upper-level
disturbance will begin to interact with the returning Gulf moisture to
bring an emerging threat of heavy rain into the central Gulf Coast states
on Tuesday and especially by Tuesday evening.
Along the East Coast, following a recent round of widespread enhanced
rainfall, another coastal low pressure system is forecast to form along
the stalled front and track up the Mid-Atlantic coast Monday into Tuesday.
This relatively compact system is forecast to deliver another round of
enhanced rainfall up the Mid-Atlantic states Monday and Tuesday, reaching
into New England by Tuesday afternoon. Across Florida, thunderstorm
chances are forecast to decrease as the lingering front weakens with time
but they will increase again later on Tuesday as the aforementioned
upper-level disturbance begins to approach from the west.
Widespread much above average, Spring-like high temperatures will persist
across the central/eastern U.S. into Monday. The greatest anomalies of
25-35 degrees over the lower/mid-Missouri Valley northeastward into the
upper Great Lakes on Sunday will shift into the Ohio Valley, lower Great
Lakes, and interior Northeast on Monday.
Winter storm continues in the West with heavy mountain snow, widespread
damaging winds, and powerful blizzard conditions in the Sierra Nevada...
Accumulating snowfall near the Canadian border across Montana and North
Dakota with a wintry mix from North Dakota to northern Minnesota.
A coastal storm with widespread rainfall will exit New England on
Sunday but another coastal storm is forecast to bring another round of
rain into the Mid-Atlantic coast later on Monday.
Much above average, Spring-like temperatures shifting from the
Plains/Midwest into the Northeast as Critical Fire Weather threat persists
in the central/southern High Plains.
A significant winter storm remains in progress across much of the West,
including dangerous, blizzard conditions for the Sierra Nevada as an
amplified upper-level trough forces its way into the western U.S. A
multi-day influx of moisture from the Pacific interacting with colder air
pushing southward from Canada is bringing heavy higher elevation, mountain
snows across most of the ranges of the Pacific Northwest, northern/central
California, the Great Basin, and the northern/central Rockies. The
heaviest precipitation associated with this system will continue to impact
these areas through tonight into Sunday morning. In addition, widespread
wind-related advisories and warnings remain in effect across much of the
greater western U.S. as wind gusts reach upwards of 55 mph, with gusts as
high as 75 mph for higher elevations, leading to the risk of downed trees
and power lines. The combination of snow and high winds is most intense in
the Sierra Nevada into tonight, where heavy snow rates exceeding 3" per
hour and winds gusting over 100 mph are causing significant blowing,
drifting snow and whiteout conditions, making travel impossible through
the area. Additional 2 feet of snow, on top of a few feet of recent
snowfall, can be expected along the Sierra Nevada through Sunday. The most
intense snow and wind should begin to wind down later on Sunday but
additional energy from the Pacific will keep light to moderate
precipitation in place through Monday across the northwestern U.S. through
Monday, with another system forecast to reach northern California later on
Monday. High temperatures will be below average this weekend with the
colder airmass moving in, with highs in the teens and 20s for the Northern
Rockies; 30s and 40s for the Pacific Northwest, northern California, the
Great Basin, and central Rockies; 50s for central California; and 60s for
southern California. Temperatures will be warmer into the Southwest with
highs in the 70s.
Along the East Coast, a low pressure system tracking along a coastal front
up the Mid-Atlantic coast continues to bring widespread rainfall across
New England into tonight. This system is forecast to move east of Cape
Cod on Sunday, gradually bringing the rain out into the Atlantic later on
Sunday. However, the trailing portion of the front is forecast to become
stationary just off the coast of the southeastern U.S. where another wave
of low pressure is forecast to develop.
Widespread well above average, Spring-like temperatures are forecast to
continue for much of the Plains and Midwest for the remainder of the
weekend into Monday. The greatest anomalies will be centered over portions
of the central/northern Plains and Upper Midwest Saturday, spreading into
the Great Lakes and Middle Mississippi/Ohio Valleys on Sunday, where
forecast highs reaching well into the 60s and 70s are upwards of 25-35
degrees above average.
Winter storm brings heavy mountain snow, widespread damaging winds, and
cold temperatures to much of the West
Blizzard conditions expected for the Sierra Nevada and portions of the
Great Basin on Saturday.
A coastal storm will bring widespread rain up the East Coast through
Saturday, with thunderstorms across portions of the Southeast through
tonight
Much above average, Spring-like temperatures for the Plains and Midwest
once again heading into the weekend with Critical Fire Weather threat for
the central/southern High Plains.
Another significant winter storm is forecast to impact much of the West
heading into the weekend, including dangerous, blizzard conditions for the
Sierra Nevada as an amplifying upper-level trough forces its way into the
western U.S. A multi-day influx of moisture from the Pacific is forecast
to interact with a cold air mass arriving from western Canada, resulting
in heavy snowfall for many of the higher elevation mountain ranges across
the Pacific Northwest, northern/central California, the northern/central
Rockies, and Great Basin. Snow totals locally as much as 12"+ are forecast
through Sunday. In addition, widespread damaging wind gusts of 55+ mph are
forecast across much of the region, with even stronger gusts of 75+ mph
for higher elevations and mountain passes, leading to the risk of downed
trees and power lines as a potent cold front pushes through. The most
intense combination of snow and wind will converge over the Sierra Nevada,
where a powerful blizzard is expected. Extreme snowfall totals of 5-12
feet (locally even higher) are forecast through the weekend, with high
snow rates and winds leading to blowing/drifting snow and whiteout
conditions, making travel impossible. For lower elevations, the system
will bring moderate to heavy rainfall to coastal locations, with a mix of
light to moderate rain/snow for interior locations, though any
accumulations should remain limited.
Along the East Coast, widespread rainfall and some embedded thunderstorms
associated with a wavy front are spreading northeastward from the central
Gulf Coast across the Southeast, southern Appalachians and into the Ohio
Valley. A low pressure system is forecast to develop along the front and
move up the East Coast on Saturday. This system is forecast to bring a
round of widespread rainfall up the East Coast through Saturday before the
low center exits the New England coast Sunday morning. Some locally heavy
downpours are possible, especially north of the boundary in the interior
South and along the Carolina coast. Showers and storms will also linger
across portions of the coastal Southeast into north Florida and the
Florida Panhandle into Sunday as the trailing portion of the front becomes
nearly stationary.
Much above average, Spring-like high temperatures are once again expected
across much of the Plains and Midwest heading into the Weekend. The
greatest anomalies are forecast for the northern Plains into the upper
Midwest on Saturday pushing into the upper Midwest toward the Great Lakes
on Sunday. Highs will be upwards of 25-35 degrees above normal, reaching
into the 60s and 70s in these areas. Highs Saturday will warm into the
60s and 70s for the Middle/Lower Mississippi Valley, with 80s returning to
Texas. The combination of warm temperatures, persistently dry conditions,
and gusty winds over the central/southern High Plains will elevate the
risk for wildfires through this weekend. After a chilly day Friday in the
Southeast, temperatures will quickly rebound to average or slightly above
average levels on Saturday, with highs in the 60s and low 70s.
A Stormy pattern to end February and begin March for the West Coast,
inland into the Cascades, Sierra, Great Basin and Northern Rockies.
Very heavy snows likely through the Sierra, while lower elevation heavy
rains expected from coastal California into the coastal Pacific
Northwest.
.eavy rains expected from the Central Gulf Coast, across the Southern
Appalachians and into the Mid-Atlantic.
A warming trend from the Southern Plains to the East coast, while below
average temperatures will persist along the West Coast.
A deep upper vortex off the Southwestern Canadian/U.S. Pacific Northwest
will be moving slowly east southeastward over the next few days. This
will support a stormy weather pattern for the West coast, inland through
the Cascades, Sierra, Great Basin and into the Northern Rockies. A lead
cold front that is moving inland Thursday across the Pacific Northwest
will continue to push eastward into the Northern Rockies and southeastward
through northern to central California. This will be followed by a second
cold front moving across the same regions later Friday into Saturday. The
combination of the two fronts will produce widespread heavy precipitation
from the coastal Pacific Northwest, south into northern California, the
Sierra and as far to the south as the central to southern California coast
ranges. The most persistent onshore southwesterly flow level flow in this
stormy pattern will be directed into northern to central California. Very
heavy snows likely through the Sierra over the next two days, with snow
totals of 4 to 6 feet forecast. While not as great, heavy snowfall also
likely through the Northern Rockies of Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, through
the Cascades of Oregon and Washington, the Olympic Range and coast ranges
of Washington and Oregon. Lower elevation heavy rains also likely across
the coastal Pacific Northwest, south into the coastal regions of
California. Much of California has seen above average precipitation over
the past month, with additional heavy rains increasing the risk of
isolated flash flooding. At the moment, the greatest likelihood of
flooding is across northwestern California and in the foothills of the
Northern Sierra.
Wet weather also likely from the Central Gulf Coast, northeastward across
the Southern Appalachians and much of the Mid-Atlantic. Heavy rain is
expected to develop tonight across the Central Gulf coast and spread east
northeastward in association with fast moving areas of low pressure that
are forecast to move from the northern Gulf of Mexico, northeastward and
of the Carolina coast Friday into Saturday. While widespread moderate to
heavy rainfall totals are expected across these regions, the fast movement
of the storm and the fact that much of this region has been dry over the
past few weeks, allowing stream flows to fall and soil moisture values to
decrease, will be a detriment to widespread flooding issues.
The core of the much above average temperatures are
forecast across the Plains into the Upper Mississippi Valley, where high
temperatures are forecast to be 20 to 30+ degrees above average for the
end of the week going into the weekend. A few record high maximum
temperatures possible across the Upper Mississippi Valley Friday and
Saturday, with more widespread record highs possible by the end of the
weekend across the Upper to Middle Mississippi Valley and across portions
of the Central and Southern Plains.
Much colder conditions arrive behind cold front for the Eastern half of
the nation.
Impressive winter storm will hammer the Cascades to the Sierra with
blizzard conditions to end the week.
A reality check is in progress across the eastern half of the country
after the record-breaking warmth that was observed on Tuesday across a big
portion of the Plains and Midwest states. The strong cold front that is
heralding this change to much colder conditions will be exiting the East
Coast Wednesday evening, with a corridor of showers and some thunderstorms
extending from the coastal Southeast U.S. to New England, followed by an
abrupt drop in temperatures and windy conditions overnight into early
Thursday. Wind advisories and high wind warnings are currently in effect
for much of the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic region through early Thursday.
March will be coming in like a lion for the West Coast states. An
extremely potent winter storm will be making all kinds of weather
headlines for the higher terrain of Washington, Oregon, and California,
particularly for the Sierra going into Friday and Saturday. A prolonged
period of upslope flow, combined with abundant moisture from the Pacific
and lowering snow levels, will result in a multi-day heavy snowfall event
with blizzard conditions as winds gust well over 50 mph. The potential
exists for snowfall totals on the order of 5-10 feet by Saturday evening
for the higher elevations of the Sierra! This will result in a travel
nightmare for the mountain passes that are affected, and will likely
result in numerous road closures. There will also be moderate to heavy
snow for the higher terrain of the Northern Rockies, but not to the same
magnitude as the Sierra and Cascades. Heavy rain is expected for the
coastal areas between San Francisco and the Olympic Peninsula of
Washington where a few inches are likely over the next 3 days.
Elsewhere across the continental U.S., moisture will be on the increase
north of a surface low across the northern Gulf on Friday, and a swath of
moderate to locally heavy rain is expected from southern Louisiana to
northern Georgia, with some locations possibly getting over an inch of
rainfall. Showers are also expected from southeast Arizona to western
Texas Wednesday night, and higher elevation snow showers, with the cold
front dropping south and an upper level shortwave passing through the
region. Dry conditions are forecast for the central/northern Plains into
the Midwest states with high pressure governing the overall weather
pattern.
Strong cold front to usher in a variety of hazardous weather across the
Heartland today; briefly disrupt record warm spell...
...Powerful West Coast storm brings significant snow and wind to the
Pacific Northwest beginning late Wednesday into Thursday...
Much of the nation's weather story through the next 36 hours remains tied
to a strong Polar cold front which continues to sweep across the Lower 48.
After a period of widespread all-time record breaking warmth yesterday,
temperatures across portions of the Northern Plains have plummeted nearly
50-60 degrees behind the front in a stark reminder that meteorological
Winter is still with us for two more days. A similar scenario will play
out further south across the portions of the Southern Plains and Midwest
today, as widespread record warmth (including some all time records) are
forecast ahead of the front before falling off into the 40's and 50's
tomorrow. Stark pattern change aside, this strong cold front will also
drive Critical fire weather conditions (level 2/3) across the Southern
Plains owing to the combination of very dry, warm, and gusty conditions in
place. To the east in the Midwest and Ohio Valley, an Enhanced risk (level
3/5) of severe weather is highlighted for thunderstorms expected late this
afternoon into the overnight hours. All modes of severe weather, including
large hail, damaging gusts, and tornadoes (some of which could be
significant) are possible with this activity. This thunderstorm activity
will eventually weaken tomorrow, but locally heavy rainfall and a few
severe thunderstorms are possible ahead of the front stretching from the
Ohio Valley into the Northeast.
Our attention then turns to the West Coast late Wednesday into Thursday as
a significant winter storm focuses impacts atop the Cascades and Sierra
Nevada in California. Extremely heavy snowfall rates exceeding 3 inches
per hour will lead to multiple feet of snow for higher elevations in these
areas (particularly above 5000 feet), including passes in the
aforementioned ranges. When combined with strong wind gusts, this snowfall
will lead to difficult to impossible travel conditions in the mountains.
Accordingly, a swath of Winter Storm Warnings and Watches extend from the
Olympics and Cascades southward into the Shastas and Sierra Nevada. In the
lower elevations, localized heavy rainfall can be expected along the
Pacific Northwest and Northern California coastline.
Heavy mountain snow with brief snow squalls across the
northwestern U.S. through tonight into Tuesday.
Moderate to heavy snow from North Dakota into northern Minnesota on
Tuesday.
Severe thunderstorms possible Tuesday evening/night from the Midwest to
the Ohio Valley/Great Lakes.
Record warmth engulfing much of the mid-section of the country will be
drastically colder by Wednesday with sub-zero will chills across the
northern Plains and upper Midwest.
The stage is set for a dome of arctic air that has been locked up in
Canada to be unleashed into the United States through the next couple of
days. An amplifying upper-level trough that is instrumental in unleashing
the arctic air mass in Canada for the past week will first push a cold
front rapidly across the northwestern U.S. through tonight. The front
will sweep across the region with rapidly falling temperatures, gusty
winds, and brief periods of snow squalls across the interior Pacific
Northwest, reaching into the northern Rockies by Tuesday morning.
Meanwhile, the arctic air will be surging into the northern Plains in
earnest tonight. A low pressure system that forms along the front will
organize a swath of moderate snow across North Dakota through tonight,
becoming heavy snow Tuesday morning across northern Minnesota. The low
pressure system is forecast to intensify rapidly and move across the Great
Lakes Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, bringing a period of snow
across the region behind the storm center.
Much of the mid-section of the country has been dominated by a dry and
warm air mass under the influence of an expansive high pressure system
lately. A large area of record warm temperatures is engulfing much of the
mid-section of the country this afternoon. As the arctic air mass
advances into the United States through the next couple of days,
drastically colder temperatures will be ushered down the Plains on
Tuesday, and then across the Great Lakes, the Ohio Valley toward the Deep
South and the East Coast by Wednesday evening, with sub-zero will chills
across the northern Plains by tonight reaching into the upper Midwest
Wednesday morning. In addition, the cold front is forecast to become very
potent, with showers and thunderstorms rapidly forming over the Ohio
Valley into the lower Great Lakes Tuesday evening along with warm and
gusty winds. Some of these thunderstorms are expected to become severe as
well. The winds behind the front will become very strong and gusty from
the north and northwest with rapidly falling temperatures surging down the
Plains states and up into the Great Lakes through Wednesday.
Following the heavy mountain snows and snow squalls tonight, precipitation
is expected to gradually become lighter and more scattered through
Wednesday. However, moisture from the next Pacific system is forecast to
reach the Pacific Northwest by Tuesday night with coastal rain and
increasingly heavy snow reaching into the Cascades on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, some rain could reach southern Arizona and southern New Mexico
later on Wednesday when a lingering Pacific cutoff system finally makes
its way into Baja California.
Significant winter storm to bring heavy mountain snow, gusty winds, and
dangerous travel conditions to much of the West
Already anomalously warm temperatures for the Plains/Midwest will get
even warmer Monday and Tuesday, with widespread record-tying/breaking
highs possible.
Increasing shower and thunderstorm chances for the Midwest/Great Lakes
late Tuesday, with the threat for locally heavy rainfall and severe
weather.
An upper-level trough/strong cold front dropping southward from the
northeastern Pacific/western Canada will bring a significant winter storm
to much of the West over the next couple of days. Increasing moisture
flowing in from the Pacific will lead to heavy higher elevation/mountain
snows for the Central Rockies and Cascades through Monday, and will expand
into the Sierra and ranges of the Northern Rockies/Great Basin on Tuesday.
There is at least a moderate chance (>50%) that most of these locations
will see a foot of snow or more through Tuesday evening. In addition,
widespread, strong, gusty winds are expected, with numerous high
wind-related watches and warnings in place across the Intermountain West
as well as the adjacent High Plains. Some gusts may reach has high as 75
mph. Heavy snow rates of 1-2" per hour at times along with the gusty winds
may lead to some areas of blowing/drifting snow and significantly reduced
visibility. Some snow squalls are also likely across the northern Great
Basin and Rockies Monday, which can lead to sudden drops in visibility and
flash freezes along area roadways, creating dangerous travel conditions.
To the east, already anomalously warm temperatures this weekend over the
heart of the country will warm up even more heading into the work week.
Forecast highs Monday and Tuesday will soar as much as 30-45 degrees above
late February averages. It will feel more like Spring across the
Northern/Central Plains and Midwest with highs in the 60s and 70s. For the
Southern Plains, the conditions will be more early Summer-like and
downright hot for February. Highs will range from the low 80s to as hot as
the mid-90s in southern Texas. Needless to say, these highs all across the
Plains and Midwest will be at daily record-tying/breaking levels, in some
cases by several degrees. A few February monthly records may also be
tied/broken. The warmth in addition to dry conditions and gusty winds
across the Southern High Plains has resulted in a Critical Risk of Fire
Weather (level 2/3) from the Storm Prediction Center Monday, likely to
continue into Tuesday. While not as anomalous, temperatures will be
warming well above average for the East Coast as well, with highs into the
40s and 50s for New England, 50s and 60s for the Mid-Atlantic, 60s and 70s
for the Carolinas, and 70s and 80s for the Southeast and Florida. However,
these temperatures will be short lived for some areas, as the anomalous
warmth makes a cold front associated with the western storm system pushing
into the Northern Plains Tuesday that much more notable as temperatures
plummet into the teens and 20s. The return to Winter will spread further
south and eastward Wednesday just beyond the current forecast period.
As this storm system over the West continues eastward into the
Plains/Midwest Tuesday, moist southerly flow ahead of the cold front will
bring increasing shower and thunderstorm chances to the Midwest/Great
Lakes. Strong low-level and upper-level dynamics will lead to the risk of
some more potent thunderstorms with the potential for some locally heavy
rainfall as well as severe weather. The Storm Prediction Center has
outlined a Slight Risk of severe weather (level 2/5) for the risk of large
hail, damaging winds, and a few tornadoes. This threat will ramp up late
Tuesday afternoo
Run time only 2 minutes . The Pacific storm system will bring heavy snow to the western U.S. mountains along with windy conditions to the Northwest, central to northern Rockies and adjacent High Plains.
Warming trend east of the Rockies with record warmth possible over the
central U.S. through early week. Springlike preview to the Northeast.
Relatively tranquil weather over the lower 48 on Saturday will begin to
change on Sunday, beginning in the Pacific Northwest as a fairly strong
storm system approaches from the eastern Pacific and British Columbia. An
upper level disturbance will be preceded by a cold front that will reach
Washington late Sunday afternoon. Steady rain will develop for the coast
of the Pacific Northwest and lower elevations that are inland while
periods of heavy snow impact the Cascades to downstream locations of the
northern Rockies. Snow levels will fall after the cold front moves through
with a rain/snow mix possible for the Seattle and Portland metropolitan
areas Sunday night. Snowfall accumulations of 1 to 3 feet (locally higher)
are anticipated for the Cascades and portions of the northern Rockies
through Monday night. Heavy snow will begin to impact the central Rockies
on Monday. Strong winds will also accompany this storm system with the
strongest winds (gusts over 60 mph) expected for the higher terrain from
Wyoming into Montana, however gusty winds of 30 to 50+ mph will also be
possible for some of the adjacent High Plains regions of the U.S. from
Nebraska into the Dakotas, extending westward to the foothills of the
Rockies.
Locations east of the Rockies will see low level winds developing from
south and west. Westerly flow across the Continental Divide will promote
downslope warming into the Plains, helping bring high temperatures into
the 50s for the northern Plains on Sunday, 60s to 70s for the central to
southern Plains and 80s for large portions of Texas. By Monday, 80 degree
high temperatures may spread as far north as Kansas with lower 70s in
Iowa, about 30-40 degrees above average for late February. This warmth
will likely break some daily high temperature records for portions of the
central U.S.
After a cold start in the eastern U.S. on Sunday, temperatures will climb
to near average by mid-day but continue to warm each day through the early
part of the week. At least through Monday, a lack of moisture will keep
most locations to the east of the Rockies dry, except for some light snow
with a cold frontal passage in New England on Monday.
Precipitation chances pick up for the Pacific Northwest/Northern
Rockies through the weekend...
...Chilly Saturday from the Ohio/Tennessee Valleys to the Northeast; light
precipitation chances from the Great Lakes to the Carolinas...
...A mild, early Spring-like weekend for much of the central and western
U.S. as temperatures soar as much as 15-25 degrees above average...
After a dry Friday, increasing moisture and northwesterly flow over the
Pacific Northwest/Northern Rockies will bring increasing precipiation
chances Saturday. Some light to moderate higher elevation snow showers are
forecast for the Olympics, northern Cascades, and portions of the Northern
Rockies. More widespread, heavier precipitation will begin to pick up by
late in the day Sunday ahead of an approaching stronger upper-level
trough. Heavy snow will continue into early next week beyond the current
forecast period for the Cascades and Northern Rockies, with Winter Storm
Watches now in effect. Additionally, fast moving flow aloft as well as
troughing along the High Plains will bring some gusty winds, particularly
on Sunday. High wind-related watches and warnings have been issued for
portions of the Northern Rockies/adjacent High Plains and southward into
the Central High Plains for gusts as high as 65-70 mph.
A pair of cold fronts pushing through the eastern U.S. today and overnight
will bring some chillier temperatures from the Ohio/Tennessee Valleys to
the Northeast on Saturday. Highs will be in the teens and 20s for the
Interior Northeast/northern New England and the 30s and 40s from the
Ohio/Tennessee Valleys east through the Mid-Atlantic and southern New
England. While not quite as cold, temperatures will also be below average
for the Southeast, with highs ranging from the 50s in the Carolinas to the
60s near the Gulf Coast and low 70s into Florida. Temperatures will
rebound Sunday, particularly for the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys as highs
reach into the 50s and 60s. A mix of light rain and snow shower will pass
from the Great Lakes through the Ohio Valley overnight Friday and into the
southern/central Appalachians and Carolinas during the day Saturday.
Elsewhere, most of the central and western U.S. will be dry with mild,
above average high temperatures. The greatest anomalies will be over the
Plains Saturday, spreading into the Middle Mississippi Valley Sunday,
where highs 15-25 degrees above average will feel more like early Spring
than Winter. Forecast highs Saturday-Sunday will range from the 40s and
50s for the Northern Plains, 60s and 70s for the Central Plains, and 70s
and 80s for the Southern Plains. Highs in the 60s and 70s will come to the
Middle Mississippi Valley Sunday. Parts of western Texas may see highs
into the mid- to upper 80s Sunday. While not quite as anomalous, the Upper
Midwest/Great Lakes will also see highs above average, with 30s and 40s
expected. The warmer weather this weekend will only be a preview of even
more anomalous temperatures heading into next week. In the West, highs
will range from the 40s and 50s for the Pacific Northwest/northern Great
Basin, 50s and 60s for northern California and the central Great Basin,
60s and 70s for central/southern California, and 70s and 80s for the
Desert Southwest.
.Pleasantly mild across most of the country before a surge of cold air
reaches the Great Lakes on Friday and down the East Coast on Saturday...
...Showers and thunderstorms over the Ohio Valley will reach the
Appalachians and the Mid-South Thursday night before moving through the
East Coast on Friday...
...A quick round of light snow expected to move across the Midwest, Ohio
Valley, and then the southern Appalachians on Saturday...
A relatively quiet weather pattern is in store across the U.S. The
eastern U.S. will be the main area where precipitation will be found for
the next couple of days as a pair of low pressure waves forming along a
front are forecast to move east and northeast through the East Coast.
Locations from the Ohio Valley to the Mid-South, across the Southeast and
into northern Florida will see showers and thunderstorms passing through
from tonight through Friday. Temperatures will be cold enough to support
mixed rain and snow across the interior sections of New England tonight
and into Friday with a couple of inches of snow accumulation expected.
The rain and snow are forecast to taper off along the East Coast Friday
night as the main front togther with the low pressure waves steadily move
into the Atlantic.
It will feel more like March and early April across much of the nation to
close out the week, especially across the Plains and Midwest where highs
could easily be 10-20 degrees above late February averages. Widespread
60s and 70s will be common from Texas to the Deep South into Friday. A
return to reality arrives in time for the weekend as a cold front from
central Canada brings more January-like readings into the Great Plains on
Friday before surging into the East Coast on Saturday. A clipper system
forming along the cold front on Saturday is expected to deliver a quick
round of light snow from the Midwest to the Ohio Valley, and then into the
southern Appalachians.
Elsewhere across the continental U.S., a dry weather pattern is expected
to prevail through Saturday apart from a few snow showers across portions
of the central and northern Rockies. Farther south, elevated fire weather
conditions are forecast by the Storm Prediction Center across portions of
southwestern Texas through tonight owing to dry downslope winds from the
southern Rockies. Across the Pacific Northwest, moisture well ahead of a
low pressure system moving into the Gulf of Alaska is forecast to begin
bringing snow into the northern Cascades and some light rain near the
coast on Saturday.
Spring-like warmth east of the Rockies into late week...
Spring-like warmth east of the Rockies into late week...
...Critical Fire Weather day over the Southern High Plains today; Elevated
fire weather conditions tomorrow...
...Showers and thunderstorms expected over the Missouri/Ohio Valley
beginning late tonight...
Spring-like warmth remains the big weather story east of the Rockies as
lee-side low pressure induces strong southerly flow into the Heartland
ahead of a progressive upper-trough. A lack of substantial moisture
feeding into the developing system will make for a dry short-term forecast
at least through the afternoon. While this warm and dry weather will make
for a pleasant afternoon for most, the pattern also supports Critical
(level 2/3) fire weather conditions across the Southern High Plains today
when combined with gusty winds tied to an approaching Pacific cold front.
Fire weather conditions will generally abate tomorrow as the low pressure
area pulls away, although Elevated (level 1/3) fire weather conditions can
still be expected over the Big Bend of Texas per the Storm Prediction
Center.
Beginning overnight into tomorrow, expanding showers and thunderstorms are
expected over the Missouri/Ohio Valley as the upper-trough and cold front
sweep through, leading to locally heavy rainfall exceeding an inch.
Accordingly, a Marginal Risk (level 1/4) of excessive rainfall is in
effect tomorrow over the Ohio Valley.
Heavy rain and heavy mountain snow in California continue through
tomorrow before subsiding.
Warming trend expected to expand from the Great Plains into the Midwest
through midweek.
Critical Fire Weather day over portions of the Southern Plains on
Wednesday.
The main area of unsettled weather through the next 24 hours remains over
California as showers and thunderstorms stream inland associated with a
deep upper-trough and atmospheric river. Southern California is once again
"under the gun" for numerous instances of flash flooding as the main band
of atmospheric river rainfall focuses through the overnight hours there.
Given the combination of saturated soils from previous rainfall and
periods of high rainfall rates approaching 1"/hour, a Moderate Risk of
Excessive Rainfall is in effect for Los Angeles and northern San Diego
counties through tomorrow morning. Outside of these areas, a broader
Slight Risk area (level 2/4) extends from Humboldt County down to San
Diego, as well as the Sacramento Valley and adjacent upslope areas of the
Sierra where scattered flash flooding is possible. In the mountains, an
additional 6-12 inches of snowfall are expected for the Sierra, while
12-18 inches are likely over the Shasta Siskiyous today. East of the
Sierra, the influx of Eastern Pacific moisture combined with falling snow
levels will support moderate to heavy snow over the Intermountain West
where generally between 6-12 inches of snow can be expected. This snowfall
is likely to continue into Wednesday and expand in coverage into the
Central Rockies.
East of the Continental Divide, widespread unseasonable warmth will
prevail through the work week as all of the cold Polar air remains
confined over Canada. This warm weather combined with dry, windy
conditions behind a cold front and dryline supports a Critical (level 2/3)
fire weather threat over portions of the Southern Plains tomorrow
according to the Storm Prediction Center. By Thursday, a developing wave
of low-pressure along a cold front will yield widespread showers and
thunderstorms over the Ohio Valley, which could lead to isolated instances
of flash flooding.
.Heavy rain and heavy mountain snow in California are expected to become
less intense...
...A moderate risk of excessive rainfall remains in effect along portions
of coastal southern California into tonight...
...Warming trend expected to expand across the Great Plains and into the
Great Lakes through midweek...
The West Coast continues to be in the midst of an active weather pattern
as the core of an energetic large-scale low pressure system pushes onshore
today. Under this weather pattern, California remains under the impact of
heavy precipitation. The northern portion of California will be one area
of concern where additional heavy rainfall will lead to a slight risk of
flash flooding into Tuesday. Another area of concern will be along
portions of coastal southern California where more focused heavy rainfall
forced by local terrain will keep a moderate risk of flash flooding in
place through tonight. Meanwhile, heavy snow can be expected over the
higher elevations. By Tuesday, the low pressure system is forecast to
weaken. This will allow the coverage and intensity of the rain/snow to
progressively decrease with time. Nevertheless, additional residual
energy arriving from the Pacific will result in more rounds of light to
moderate elevation-dependent rain/snow into Wednesday. Meanwhile,
moisture from the weakening low pressure system will continue to push well
into the Intermountain West, bringing additional rounds of rain/snow
across the Great Basin and into the northern Rockies over the next couple
of days before reaching into the central Rockies and toward the Four
Corners by Wednesday.
Meanwhile, much of the eastern two-thirds of the country will remain dry
through the next couple of days under a slow-to-evolve weather pattern. A
warming trend is expected to expand across the Great Plains through
midweek where an upper ridge is forecast to build. High temperatures will
be between 15-25 degrees above average by Wednesday over much of the
central U.S. Dry conditions will extend into portions of the Four Corners
region as well. By later on Wednesday, much of the energy associated
with the upper-level trough moving through the western U.S. will begin to
move into the central Plains where a new low pressure system is forecast
to develop.
.There's a Moderate risk of excessive rainfall along coastal southern
California today...
...Heavy Snow likely over Sierra Nevada and Shasta Siskiyous in
California...
...Warming trend expected to expand across the Great Plains through
midweek...
A potent upper-level low will continue directing subtropical moisture over
much of California today. Heavy coastal and low elevation rain,
thunderstorms, heavy mountain snow and high winds are all expected from
this Atmospheric River event. Excessive Rainfall leading to Flash Flooding
is possible for much of the state today. A Slight Risk of Excessive
Rainfall (level 2/4) is in effect from Humboldt to Orange County as well
as over parts of the Sacramento Valley and along upslope portions of the
Sierra. A Slight Risk of Severe Thunderstorms is in effect for parts of
the Sacramento Valley where an isolated tornado will be possible. A
targeted Moderate Risk of Excessive Rainfall is in effect for Santa
Barbara and Ventura where heavy rainfall will focus, especially over
elevated terrain. Heavy Snow will blanket the Sierra Nevada and Shasta
Siskiyous today as well, with those mountains forecast to receive 1-3 feet
(isolated higher) of snow by Tuesday morning.
The moisture feed into California will weaken considerably and sag south
on Tuesday, but the threat of Flash Flooding will persist across southern
California, in particular. Upslope flow into the Transverse ranges will
support a renewed threat of Flash Flooding. A Slight Risk of Excessive
Rainfall is in effect from Humboldt down through San Diego County on
Tuesday mainly due to sensitive soils from today's heavy rain. Up to a
foot of additional snow accumulations with locally higher amounts are
possible over the Sierra and Shasta Siskiyous on Tuesday. Damaging wind
gusts should continue into Wednesday morning before gradually weakening.
Elsewhere, lake effect snow will come to an end this afternoon across the
Lower Great Lakes. Upper level ridging with embedded shortwave energy will
support a warming trend acrosss the Great Plains and Mississippi Valley
through midweek when anomalous temperatures are expected to reach their
peak for the week. High temperatures will be between 15-25 degrees above
average by Wednesday over much of the central U.S..
...Additional heavy to excessive rainfall could lead to flash flooding
across much of coastal California...
...Heavy rainfall likely over much of the Florida Peninsula for the
remainder of the weekend...
...Colder than normal conditions across the eastern and southern U.S. will
be followed by a warming trend across the mid-section of the country...
The West Coast will once again be the focus of inclement weather over the
next couple of days as more energetic low pressure systems from the
Pacific line up to push onshore. The first system of concern has already
brought widespread moderate to locally heavy rain for the coastal Pacific
Northwest and down into the northern half of California today (Saturday).
The moisture will advance farther inland to bring a period of mountain
snow across the interior sections of the northwestern U.S. and northern
Rockies through Sunday. A more potent low pressure system will quickly
follow in its wake to deliver the next round of heavy precipitation, this
time mainly across California starting Sunday night/early Monday. WPC has
a Slight Risk of Excessive Rainfall covering a good portion of northern
California and central coastal California into Sunday and Monday, with a
Moderate Risk in effect for the Santa Barbara to Santa Maria region for
the same time period. Very heavy snowfall will then impact the Sierra
Nevada on Monday where a few feet of new snow can be expected.
Elevation-dependent rain/snow will then spread northeastward into the
Great Basin on Monday.
After a quick round of locally heavy snow Saturday morning, the
Mid-Atlantic states will clear out behind a departing low pressure system.
Colder than normal conditions initially blanketing much of the eastern
and southern U.S. will be followed by a warming trend across the
mid-section of the country--emerging first over the northern Plains then
gradually spreading south to reach Texas by Monday. Meanwhile,
lake-effect snows downwind from the Great Lakes will gradually taper off
by Sunday. Farther north, a clipper system sliding across southern Canada
will only bring light snow across the upper Midwest and upper Great Lakes
on Sunday, before brushing the lower Great Lakes and northern New England
on Monday.
Meanwhile, rain and thunderstorms associated with a slow-moving front are
forecast to expand across the Florida Peninsula through tonight. By
Sunday, a low pressure center developing along the front over the Gulf of
Mexico will traverse the Florida Peninsula later that night before moving
out into the Atlantic on Monday. Generally a couple of inches of rain,
with locally higher amounts, can be expected with this system.
Heavy snow over parts of the Central Appalachians/northern
Mid-Atlantic, PHILADELPHIA AND NYC
Lake-effect snow over parts of the Great Lakes and snow over the
Pacific Northwest to the Central Rockies and Sierra Nevada Mountains.
There is a Slight Risk of excessive rainfall over parts of California
from Saturday into Sunday.
A wave of low pressure over the Ohio Valley will move northeastward off
the Mid-Atlantic Coast by Saturday morning. The system will create snow
over the Middle Mississippi Valley/Ohio Valley and heavy snow over parts
of the Central Appalachians and northern Mid-Atlantic from Friday evening
into Saturday morning. The snow will result in reduced visibility and
hazardous driving conditions. The snow will linger over parts of the
Central Appalachians/northern Mid-Atlantic through Saturday evening.
Moreover, showers and thunderstorms will develop over parts of the
Southern Ohio/Tennessee/Lower Mississippi Valleys, ending on Saturday. The
showers and thunderstorms will move into parts of the Southeast overnight,
Friday through Sunday.
Furthermore, upper-level energy moving over the Great Lakes into the
Northeast will produce lake-effect snow downwind from the Great Lakes,
with the heaviest amounts over the eastern UP of Michigan and northwestern
LP of Michigan. Other areas of heavier snow will be downwind from Lakes
Erie and Ontario. The snow will continue through Sunday. The snow will
result in reduced visibility and hazardous driving conditions.
Additionally, upper-level energy over the Northern Rockies will aid in
creating snow over parts of the Great Basin and the Central Rockies
through early Saturday morning. On Saturday morning, snow will develop
over parts of the Central/Southern High Plains, ending by Saturday
evening. The snow will result in reduced visibility and hazardous driving
conditions.
Meanwhile, a front off-shore from the West Coast will move onshore and
dissipate by Saturday evening. Upper-level energy associated with the
dying front moves over the Pacific Northwest, producing rain and
higher-elevation snow from early Saturday morning through Sunday. Snow
will also develop overnight Saturday into Sunday over parts of the
Northern Intermountain Region.
In addition, on Saturday, rain and higher-elevation snow will develop over
parts of Northern/Central California. Further, a plume of moisture will
stream into California on Saturday, producing areas of heavy rain.
Therefore, the WPC has issued a Slight Risk of excessive rainfall over
parts of Northern California from Saturday into Sunday morning. The
associated heavy rain will create mainly localized areas of flash
flooding, with urban areas, roads, small streams, and burn scars the most
vulnerable.
On Sunday, the plume of moisture will move over Southern California,
producing heavy rain from Northern California to Southern California.
Therefore, the WPC has issued a Slight Risk of excessive rainfall over
parts of Northern California to Southern California on Sunday. The
associated heavy rain will create mainly localized areas of flash
flooding, with urban areas, roads, small streams, and burn scars the most
vulnerable.
Fast moving areas of low pressures to produce widespread accumulating
snows across the Central Plains, Mid Mississippi Valley, Ohio Valley,
Central Appalachians, Mid Atlantic, Northern New York and New England...
Heavy precipitation to move into Northern to Central California on
Saturday.
Heavy rains possible for South Texas...
Below average temperatures to spread southeast from the Northern
Plains.
Active Lake effect snows downwind of the Great Lakes Friday and
Saturday.
Two fast moving areas of low pressure pushing from west to east will be
producing widespread areas of accumulating snows across large portions of
the Lower 48. The lead area of low pressure will be moving eastward
tonight from the eastern Lakes region, across northern NY State and into
New England. This system will produce a brief period of snow, with
accumulations of several inches from northern New York State into portions
of central to northern New England. In the wake of this system, cold air
moving across the relatively warm and ice free Great Lakes will support
widespread lake effect snow showers downwind of the Great Lakes. Locally
heavy snowfall totals possible in the favored lake effect areas across the
Upper Peninsula of Michigan and across portions of north central to
northwest New York State, to the east of Lake Ontario.
This first fast moving area of low pressure will be followed by a second
moving quickly east northeast from the Southern Plains Friday, into the
Tennessee Valley Friday night and off the Mid-Atlantic coast early
Saturday. An area of snow will develop well to the north of the surface
low track, with accumulating snows possible from portions of the Central
Plains. east into the Mid Mississippi Valley, Ohio Valley, Central
Appalachians and Mid-Atlantic. The fast movement of this system will a
detriment to heavy totals, with generally 1 to 3 inches of accumulation
forecast across these areas, with isolated heavier totals possible.
Below average temperatures will be spreading south and southeastward from the
Northern Plains/Upper Mississippi Valley. This will produce a below
average temperature day on Friday across the Northern to Central Plains
and Upper Mississippi Valley, with these below average temperatures
spreading south into the Southern Plains and eastward into the Middle to
Lower Mississippi Valley, Ohio and Tennessee Valleys on Saturday. While
these colder than average temperatures are a departure from recent warmth
across this regions, the cold shot will be short lived with temperatures
warming from west to east late in the weekend and into next week.
The current stormy pattern across the eastern Pacific will be pressing
eastward on Friday into Saturday, with heavy precipitation pushing back
into Northern to Central California on Saturday. This precipitation is
the beginning of a wetter pattern for California, with additional heavy
precipitation likely for much of California for the beginning of next
week. The first round of heavy precipitation does have the potential to
produce isolated flash flooding across the central to northern California
coastal regions. The additional heavy rains slated for early next week
will also pose a flash flood threat, with this threat pushing farther to
the south into central to southern California.
An expanding area of rain also likely to develop Thursday night/early
Friday morning across South Texas, persisting into the day on Saturday.
This rainfall will also push east northeastward Friday into Saturday along
the northern Gulf coast and into North Florida. The heaviest totals
expected for South Texas where rainfall accumulations of 1 to 3 inches are
possible.
.A Pacific storm system pushing into the West Coast will bring locally
heavy rain near the coast, and heavy high elevation snowfall into the
Intermountain West over the next couple of days...
Hard hitting storm system to produce accumulating snowfall across the
Great Lakes today and into the Interior Northeast Thursday night and
Friday morning.
.Next round of snow expected to quickly spread from the central Plains
and Ohio Valley on Friday, then into the Central Appalachians and
Mid-Atlantic Friday night into Saturday morning...
A Pacific storm system is ushering in a stream of precipitation into the
West Coast and Intermountain West the next couple days. Meanwhile, a
sufficiently cold air-mass anchored in place by high pressure over
southwest Canada will force a frontal boundary to remain stationary over
the central and northern Rockies through Friday. Coastal areas of the
Pacific Northwest and the valleys of the Intermountain West can expect
periods of rain, while mountain ranges such as the Oregon Cascades, the
Olympics in western Washington, and on east into the heart of the Northern
Rockies witness heavy snow today.
To the east, a low pressure system tracking through the Great Lakes today
is generating showers to the south of its track, while a swath of
moderate-to-heavy snow envelopes southern Wisconsin and northern Michigan.
This storm system is quite progressive, quickly finding itself tracking
over Lake Ontario by Thursday evening. Showers are likely in the central
Appalachians, while periods of snow ensue over the Interior Northeast. By
Thursday night, northwesterly winds escorting in a cold, Canadian air-mass
will rush over the Great Lakes and trigger lake effect snow showers
downwind of Lakes Erie and Ontario Thursday night and linger into the day
on Friday. Snow showers will linger across parts of New England on Friday,
but gradually dissipate as the storm tracks farther into the northwest
Atlantic. In total, over 6 inches of snow is expect in parts of the
Michigan U.P., the northern half of Michigan's Mitten, and across northern
New York. More specifically, the Tug Hill Plateau and neighboring
locations could see over a foot of snow by the time snow concludes Friday
morning. In addition, gusty winds are also an impact from this storm
system, as evident by the Wind Advisories in place over northern Ohio for
today and both western and the Southern Tier of New York between Thursday
afternoon and Friday morning.
By Thursday night, a new wave of low pressure will be taking shape over
the Central Plains with a swath of moderate-to-heavy snow setting up over
northern Nebraska and southern South Dakota. The storm tracks quickly into
the mid-Mississippi river Valley by late Friday morning with periods
anticipated across northern Missouri and central Illinois, while rain
showers and isolated thunderstorms make for a damp day from the ArkLaTex
on east into the Tennessee Valley by Friday afternoon. By Friday night,
the storm will restrengthen as it reaches the Mid-Atlantic with an axis of
moderate-to-heavy snow bringing light snowfall accumulations to the Ohio
Valley Friday evening, then over the northern Mid-Atlantic Friday night
into early Saturday morning. The Potomac Highlands of West Virginia and
Allegheny Mountains from western Maryland to south-central Pennsylvania
have the best chances of seeing snowfall totals surpass 4 inches Friday
night, but anywhere from 1-3" of snow is possible from the mid-Mississippi
Valley on Friday and the Ohio Valley Friday evening, to the DC/Baltimore
metro areas on north to the Philadelphia metro area early Saturday
morning. Some hazardous travel is possible in portions of these regions,
particularly on untreated roads Friday night into Saturday
.Heavy wet snow associated with a strong nor'easter quickly exiting the
New England coast...
A low pressure wave will bring a quick round of accumulating snowfall
across the northern Plains, upper Midwest, and the Great Lakes through the
next couple of days.
Next Pacific storm system will bring locally heavy rain along the West
Coast and mountain snow through the interior Northwest and northern
Rockies.
As heavy wet snow associated with a strengthening nor'easter quickly exits
the northeastern U.S. through tonight, the next round of inclement weather
will be developing over the northern High Plains along a quasi-stationary
front. A wave of low pressure that is forecast to form along the front is
expected to spread a quick round of accumulating snowfall across the
northern Plains, upper Midwest, and the Great Lakes through the next
couple of days. A few inches of snow can be expected to accompany this
system, with locally 6 inches possible over the northern Plains just north
of the track of the system center. Milder air will likely support rain
closer to the system center.
Meanwhile, the next low pressure system from the Pacific Ocean will bring
increasingly unsettled weather into the West Coast through the next couple
of days. Rain well ahead of this system is forecast to first reach
northern California during the day on Wednesday. The moisture will then
penetrate into much of the northwestern U.S. and will begin to interact
with colder air slowly filtering across the northern Rockies. This
interaction will expand the coverage of snow across much of the
inter-mountains of the northwestern U.S. through the next couple of days.
The higher terrain of the Cascades, Sierra Nevada, and the northern
Rockies are expected to receive the highest snowfall, where as much as 1
to 2 feet of heavy snow with isolated heavier amounts can be expected
going through Thursday.
The remainder of the country going through the middle of the week will be
rather dry and tranquil. Temperatures for large areas of the Midwest will
continue to be above normal on Wednesday, and will continue to spread
toward the eastern and southern U.S. on Thursday. In contrast,
temperatures will be somewhat below normal for the Northeast and
Intermountain West. There will be the beginning of a surge of at least
modified Arctic air from Canada by late Wednesday and Thursday into the
northern High Plains, and this will set the stage for even colder
temperatures anomalies arriving by the latter part of the week.

A dynamic storm system bringing Severe Weather and Excessive Rainfall
impacts to the Southeast this afternoon will transition to a strong
nor'easter for parts of the Mid-Atlantic and New England by Tuesday.
New storm system to arrive across the Northwest by the middle of the
week with areas of locally heavy rain and mountain snowfall.
A significant winter storm associated with a strong upper-level trough and
associated closed low will cross through the Ohio Valley tonight, which
will continue to interact with enough cold air to produce some areas of
locally heavy snowfall across portions of the Ohio Valley to the north of
the low track. Light accumulations are expected across the Tennessee and
Ohio Valleys tonight.
Farther south and east across the Southeast, and on the warm side of the
strengthening area of low pressure crossing the Tennessee/Ohio Valley, the
northward advance of moisture and instability from the Gulf of Mexico and
its interaction with a strong frontal zone will continue to produce some
heavy showers and thunderstorms across the Carolinas and Georgia early
this evening before pushing into the Atlantic. There's a Slight Risk of
Excessive Rainfall leading to Flash Flooding over portions of southern
South Carolina into central/southern Georgia to account for this threat.
This storm system will arrive across the Mid-Atlantic states tonight and
will transition to a strong nor'easter Tuesday morning as low pressure
exits off the Mid-Atlantic coast near the Delmarva and ejects well
offshore of southern New England by Tuesday night. The concern will
refocus back to winter weather impacts as moisture surging northward ahead
of the low center encounters sufficient levels of cold air for a swath of
heavy accumulating snowfall. There continues to be an unusual amount of
uncertainty with this forecast, particularly with where the axis of
snowfall will develop and occur. The latest guidance suggests heavy
snowfall occurring from southern New England down into southern
Pennsylvania/New Jersey. Generally, between 6-12 inches are probable for
portions of the aforementioned areas. The nor'easter will bring strong
winds to the region on Tuesday which coupled with the heavy snowfall could
damage trees and power lines. The strong winds will also bring a threat
for coastal flooding.
A new storm system meanwhile will arrive across the Northwest by the
middle of the week which will bring areas of heavy rainfall to the coastal
ranges of the Pacific Northwest, and heavy snowfall for the higher
elevations of the Cascades. This snowfall threat will also extend eastward
into the northern Rockies as Pacific moisture streams inland.
Heavy snow over parts of the Southern Plain/Middle Mississippi Valley
on Sunday and over the Northeast overnight Monday into Tuesday.
There is a Slight Risk of excessive rainfall over parts of Southern
Appalachians/Southeast into the southern Mid-Atlantic.
There is an Enhanced Risk of severe thunderstorms over parts of the
Western Gulf Coast/Lower Mississippi Valley on Sunday; there is a Slight
Risk of severe thunderstorms over parts of the Central Gulf
Coast/Southeast on Monday.
Low pressure, an associated front along the Gulf Coast, moves
northeastward to the Mid-Atlantic Coast by Tuesday and then moves out over
the Western Atlantic. The low will pull moisture off the Gulf of Mexico,
producing an area of heavy rain over parts of the Southern
Appalachians/Southeast. Therefore, the WPC has issued a Slight Risk of
excessive rainfall over parts of the Southern Appalachians/Southeast
through Monday morning. The associated heavy rain will create mainly
localized areas of flash flooding, with urban areas, roads, and small
streams the most vulnerable.
In addition, showers and severe thunderstorms will develop over parts of
the Central Gulf Coast. Therefore, the SPC has issued an Enhanced Risk of
severe thunderstorms over the Western Gulf Coast/Lower Mississippi Valley
through Monday morning. The hazards associated with these thunderstorms
are frequent lightning, severe thunderstorm wind gusts, hail, and a few
tornadoes. Furthermore, there is an increased threat of EF2-EF5 and hail
two inches or greater over parts of the Western Gulf Coast/Lower
Mississippi Valley into Monday morning. Moreover, a narrow strip of heavy
snow will develop over parts of the Southern Plains/Middle Mississippi
Valley Sunday night into Monday morning.
On Monday, the threat of excessive rainfall continues as heavy rain
develops over parts of the Southern Appalachians/southern Mid-Atlantic.
Therefore, the WPC has issued a Slight Risk of excessive rainfall over
parts of the Southern Appalachians/southern Mid-Atlantic from Monday into
Tuesday morning. The associated heavy rain will create mainly localized
areas of flash flooding, with urban areas, roads, and small streams the
most vulnerable.
Similarly, the threat of severe thunderstorms continues on Monday.
Therefore, the SPC has issued a Slight Risk of severe thunderstorms over
parts of the Central Gulf Coast/Southeast from Monday into Tuesday
morning. The hazards associated with these thunderstorms are frequent
lightning, severe thunderstorm wind gusts, hail, and a few tornadoes.
Additionally, as the low moves northeastward, light to moderate snow will
develop over parts of the Ohio Valley. Further, heavy snow will develop
overnight over parts of the Northeast, Monday into Tuesday.
Meanwhile, another wave of low pressure moving along a front over the
Upper Midwest will produce snow over parts of the Upper Mississippi Valley
and Upper Great Lakes from Sunday into Monday. However, light snow will
continue over the Upper Great Lakes on Tuesday.
Furthermore, upper-level energy moving across the Pacific Northwest to the
Northern Plains will rain and higher elevation snow over parts of the
Pacific Northwest through Monday evening. As the energy moves eastward,
snow develops over parts of the Northern Intermountain Region/Northern
Rockies that will continue into Tuesday evening. On Tuesday, snow will
develop over parts of the Northern Plains.
Winter storm to impact the Central/Southern Rockies and adjacent High
Plains going through the weekend.
Areas of severe thunderstorms, heavy rainfall, and flash flooding will
be possible through Sunday from central and eastern Texas into the
Mid-South.
Potentially record-setting warmth expected tonight across portions of
the Mid-Atlantic, and Northeast.
A winter storm associated with a strong upper-level trough and closed
surface low will begin spilling east out across areas of the High Plains
tonight. Colder temperatures and areas of heavy precipitation will yield
heavy accumulating snowfall for the higher terrain, with specific emphasis
on the Sangre De Cristo range of south-central to southeast Colorado into
northeast New Mexico. Areas from the Front Range south all the way into
the Texas Panhandle will see snow develop and become locally heavy as
well, as the storm system gradually ejects east out into the Southern
Plains by later Sunday. Snowfall accumulations of as much as 4 to 8 inches
are expected for locations away from the higher terrain and over the
immediate High Plains. However, accumulations of 6 to 12 inches can be
expected over the Southern/Central Rockies, with some isolated 12 to 18
inch amounts expected over the Sangre De Cristo range and Sacramento
Mountains.
The energy associated with this ejecting winter storm will also be
interacting with a cold front that will be slowing down and eventually
stalling out across areas of the South. As multiple waves of low pressure
gradually eject east out of the Rio Grande Valley and along this front,
the pooling of moisture and instability from the Gulf of Mexico should set
the stage for multiple rounds of heavy showers and thunderstorms. The
front which will extend across areas of central and eastern Texas into the
Mid-South, will support a threat of severe weather for tonight through
Sunday including a threat for locally damaging winds, large hail, and a
few tornadoes. The Storm Prediction Center has depicted a Slight Risk of
severe weather (level 2 of 5) across portions of central to eastern Texas.
The low pressure system is forecast to pick up steam and organize as it
moves across the Lower Mississippi Valley/Southeast on Monday. Thus, the
Severe Weather threat shifts into the Southeast on Monday where a Slight
Risk is in effect.
In addition to the severe weather threat, heavy rainfall is expected, and
areas of the Mid-South in particular may see locally several inches of
rain from instances of training showers and thunderstorms going through
early Sunday. This will drive a threat for flash flooding, and the the
Weather Prediction Center has accordingly depicted a Slight Risk (level 2
of 4) of excessive rainfall for this region. Adjacent areas of the Gulf
Coast states and the Southeast by later Sunday into Monday will also see a
threat of heavy showers and thunderstorms as low pressure finally
consolidates and lifts northeastward into the Mid-South.
Elsewhere, very mild temperatures are expected for many areas of the
northern and eastern U.S. as there continues to be a lack of cold air
dropping south from Canada. Potentially record-setting warmth is expected
for tonight across the Mid-Atlantic, and the Northeast where temperatures
will be as much as 15 to 25 degrees above average.
Winter storm to impact portions of the southern to central High Plains
beginning late Friday night and continuing into Sunday.
Thunderstorms with heavy rainfall and possible flash flooding on
Saturday from east-central Texas into the Tennessee Valley.
Above average warmth will shift eastward into the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic
and Northeast on Saturday with potential records for some locations.
Unsettled weather across the Intermountain West will shift eastward
through early Saturday morning before organizing ahead of a closed
mid-level low to cross the Four Corners region during the afternoon.
Colder temperatures will filter into the Great Plains behind a cold front
with areas of accumulating snow developing through Saturday afternoon over
the Colorado Front Range into southeastern Wyoming and the Nebraska
Panhandle. As the upper level storm continues to organize Saturday night,
areas of moderate to heavy snow snow are expected to expand across the
southern High Plains with 4-8 inches expected for portions of the Texas
Panhandle into northeastern New Mexico and southeastern Colorado. Higher
accumulations of 12 to 18 inches are likely into the higher terrain,
including the Sangre De Cristo Mountains before the storm pulls away
during the day on Sunday. High temperatures will also be about 10 to 20
degrees below average on Sunday across most of the southern High Plains.
Ahead of the storm system impacting the Plains will be returning moisture
from the Gulf of Mexico into eastern Texas, the lower Mississippi and
Tennessee valleys. Rain with embedded thunderstorms will continue for
portions of the Mississippi Valley into Tennessee and Kentucky through
Saturday morning, but thunderstorms are expected to become more numerous
Saturday afternoon over central/eastern Texas, spreading eastward through
the Mississippi Valley. Locally heavy rain is expected from eastern Texas
into eastern Tennessee where a Slight Risk (level 2 of 4) of Excessive
Rainfall is in place for Saturday/Saturday night, highlighting the
greatest potential for flash flooding.
Meanwhile, potential record breaking warmth will translate eastward into
the Midwest, northern Mid-Atlantic and Northeast on Saturday with high
temperatures of 20 to 30 degrees above average anticipated. Skies will be
mostly cloudy with chances of rain but there will still be the possibility
of record breaking high temperatures, especially along the I-95 corridor
from Washington to Boston and into portions of Upstate New York.
Temperatures will lower a bit for Sunday behind a weak cold front but
still remain 5 to 15 degrees above average for the region.
Today's report runs about 3 minutes .
Light weather at the nations airline Hubs.. Shoutout to the Fort Pierce Exec golfer, laying odds on the weater models prdicting next weeks storms.
Look for my special on weather models this weekend.
Unsettled weather continues for the West with locally heavy snowfall
possible for many of the local mountain ranges.
Wintry precipitation through tonight for the Northern Plains.
Above average temperatures for the eastern half of the nation through
Saturday, potentially record-breaking for some locations.
Upper level troughing will remain in place over the West for the next
couple of days, with several shortwaves rotating through and providing
support for precipitation across the region. Most of the higher elevations
of the regional mountain ranges will see some moderate to locally heavy
snowfall. The highest snow amounts are forecast to fall over the Four
Corners region today where probabilities are high (>70%) for greater than
12 inches of snow for parts of the Mogollon Rim and San Juan mountains.
Probabilities are also high (70%) for greater than 8 inches of snow in the
higher terrain of the Wasatch. Moderate impacts are expected in these
areas through Friday morning, and additional rounds of snow are forecast
through Saturday. In the lower elevations/valleys, precipitation will fall
mainly as a wintry mix or rain, and limited snowfall accumulations will be
possible in some areas. Temperatures in the West will be below average
through the weekend due to forecast precipitation and cloud cover, then
temperatures will return to near normal next week.
To the east, a low pressure system is slowly moving across the Upper
Midwest and will continue across the Great Lakes on Friday. This system
will continue to produce wintry precipitation across the northern Plains
through tonight, then snow will taper off from west to east early Friday
morning. Ahead of this system, showers and thunderstorms will spread into
the Great Lakes region and isolated severe thunderstorms will be possible
from eastern Iowa through southwestern parts of Lake Michigan. To the
south of the trailing cold front associated with this system, stagnant
southerly flow is funneling moisture from the Gulf of Mexico into the
southern United States. With ample moisture in place, showers and
thunderstorms will spread from the southern Plains to the Tennessee and
Ohio Valleys on Friday as the cold front approaches and precipitation will
expand into the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast on Saturday.
Temperatures will be well above average for the eastern half of the nation
through Saturday, with the highest anomalies reaching 25-35 degrees above
normal in the Midwest. Highs are forecast to reach the 40s and 50s in the
Upper Midwest and Great Lakes, and the 60s to near 70 in the Middle
Mississippi Valley. The highest anomalies will shift to the Mid-Atlantic
and Northeast on Saturday, and highs will range from the 40s in Maine to
the 60s and near 70 in the Virginia and North Carolina. High temperatures
will rival daily records in the Midwest, Great Lakes, and Mid-Atlantic
regions. Further South, highs will generally be in the 60s and 70s from
the Southern Plains into the Southeast.
Another great day today with no major weather problems ...
My report runs 2 and a half minutes , Airline hub weather the the forecast for DC to Boston, centered on North Jersey and NYC. More details are below.
One more round of moderate to locally heavy rainfall will sweep across
California through tonight, reaching into the Desert Southwest on
Thursday...
More higher-elevation heavy snow across the Intermountain West with a
wintry mix over the northern High Plains through tonight; mainly across
the Four Corners on Thursday...
Temperatures will continue to run above average for the central/eastern
U.S. with record warmth over parts of the upper Midwest into the Great
Lakes...
As another energetic upper-level trough and associated frontal systems
reach the West Coast, another round of moderate to locally heavy rainfall
continues to push onshore across northern and central California this
Wednesday afternoon. The heavy rain falling on top of the very wet
antecedent conditions may still bring a risk for some isolated instances
of flooding, particularly along coastal central and southern California
through tonight and remaining along the Mogollon Rim of Arizona through
Thursday. Higher elevations of the Sierra Nevada and
Transverse/Peninsular Ranges will see some additional heavy snowfall
totals of around 6-12", while the Cascades and northern Coastal Ranges of
California will see some light to moderate snowfall.
Meanwhile, a low pressure system that has been developing over the central
High Plains will track northeastward across the northern Plains through
tonight before crossing the upper Midwest on Thursday. Moist
southeasterly flow overriding colder air along and east of the Rockies
will bring an expanding area of snow across the northern Plains through
Thursday before tapering off over the upper Midwest on Friday as the low
pressure system moves away toward James Bay, Canada. Most locations
across the northern Plains should receive 6 inches or less of snow from
this system. However, some snow bands could deliver heavier snowfall of
up to a foot over portions of Montana.
Between the system moving into California and the developing low pressure
system over the High Plains, widespread snowfall can be expected across
the Intermountain West through tonight. Regional mountain ranges such as
the Wasatch and central Arizona will receive heavy snow, where additional
snowfall over the next two days will generally range between 10-20", with
totals over 2 feet possible. Higher elevations of the northern Rockies
and central Great Basin will generally see between 4-8 inches, with some
locally higher amounts. Lower elevations/valleys will see a mix of light
to moderate rain and snow showers, though any snow accumulations should
remain limited. Precipiation chances should trend downward on Thursday
and into Friday as the system finishes traversing the southern Rockies and
begins organizing a new low pressure system over the south-central High
Plains on Friday with scattered showers and some thunderstorms developing
over the Mid-South.
High temperatures will remain above average broadly across central/eastern
portions of the country, with much above average conditions centered on
the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes, where forecast highs in the 40s, 50s,
and even some low 60s are upwards of 25-35 degrees above average. Some
record-tying/breaking high temperatures are possible. Otherwise, highs
will generally range in the 30s and 40s for New England, 40s and 50s for
the Mid-Atlantic/Carolinas, 50s and 60s for the Ohio Valley/Southeast and
central Plains, and 60s and 70s for the southern Plains. Highs will remain
below average in the West under the influence of the upper-level trough
Heavy rain and flash flooding threat continues in the Southwest today.
Heavy Snow for the Intermountain West mountains through mid-week.
Temperatures will continue to run above average from the Plains to the
Northeast with record breaking warmth for parts of the Upper Midwest
Showers and thunderstorms have expanded into the Desert Southwest ahead of
a deep upper trough that is slowly moving east into the region. Locally
heavy rainfall could lead to scattered instances of flash flooding through
tonight in Southern California and western and central Arizona, especially
for the Transverse and Peninsula ranges and Mogollon Rim where terrain
will enhance rainfall. Although rain rates/totals will be trending
downward across Southern California compared to the last couple of days,
the risk for flooding and mud/debris flows remains elevated given the very
wet antecedent conditions. For higher elevations, snowfall rates will be
coming down for the Sierra Nevada and remain heavy for elevations above
7000 feet in the Transverse/Peninsular ranges. Conditions will improve
through the rest of the week as precipitation becomes lighter and the
flash flood threat decreases.
As the upper trough moves further inland, precipitation will expand across
the Intermountain West through mid-week. Heavy snowfall is forecast for
many of the regional mountain ranges over the next couple days, with
particularly high totals expected in the Four Corners region where amounts
of 2+ feet will be possible. Other ranges of the Great Basin and Northern
Rockies will see totals generally between 6-12", with some locally higher
amounts possible. Lower elevation/valley locations across the region will
see a mix of moderate rain and snow showers, although any snow
accumulations are expected to remain limited. Height falls beginning to
overspread the Northern/Central High Plains will also lead to enhanced lee
cyclogenesis and a developing low pressure/frontal system Wednesday. This
will bring increasing chances for wintry precipitation spreading eastward
across the Northern High Plains as the system strengthens. Some freezing
rain and sleet will be possible, as well as for a few inches of snow,
particularly for northeastern Montana.
Elsewhere, the Midwest, South, and East Coast will remain mostly dry
through mid-week. Upper-level ridging over the central/eastern U.S. will
keep temperatures generally mild and above average from the Plains to the
Northeast/Appalachians, with below average temperatures along the coastal
Southeast and west of the Rockies. Highs across the Northern Plains/Upper
Midwest in particular continue to remain upwards of 20-30 degrees above
average, with 40s and 50s forecast. Some daily record-tying/breaking high
temperatures will be possible for the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes
regions today through Friday. Precipitation chances will return to the
Midwest, South, and East later this week into this weekend as a frontal
system pushes east.
Heavy rain with life threatening flash flooding will continue for
Southern California into Tuesday.
Heavy Snow to impact the major mountain ranges from the Sierra Nevada
to the Central Rockies through mid-week.
Temperatures will continue to run well above average from the Great
Plains to the Appalachians with record breaking warmth for parts of the
Upper Midwest.
A slow moving and relatively narrow axis of anomalous moisture will
continue to focus across Southern California over the next 12 to 24 hours,
maintaining a significant threat for life threatening flash flooding
across the Transverse Ranges and adjacent locations. Areas of moderate to
heavy rain are expected to remain in place near a cold front crossing the
southern coast of California, just ahead of an upper level trough axis.
Additional rainfall totals through Tuesday of 1-3 inches are expected for
the urban corridor from Los Angeles to San Diego and into the foothills of
the Transverse Ranges, with locally higher rainfall totals in areas of
higher terrain. This will fall on top of the 5 to 10+ inches of rain which
has impacted Southern California over the past 48 hours. Flooding of
streams and rivers along with mudslides are expected to remain a threat.
While rain will continue for Southern California on Tuesday, the intensity
is expected to be lighter than what occurred over the weekend as the storm
system moves east into the Desert Southwest, but the potential for flash
flooding and higher rainfall rates will expand into western Arizona,
southern Nevada and southwestern Utah.
Heavy snow and strong winds will continue to generate near impossible
travel conditions for elevations at/above 5000-7000 ft for southern
portions of the Sierra Nevada into the mountains of central Nevada. As the
upper trough and surface cold front shift eastward through mid week, heavy
snow will spread eastward into the higher elevations of Utah, Idaho,
Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico.
The central and eastern U.S. will remain fairly dry after a powerful storm
system exits from the Southeast into the western Atlantic tonight. Upper
level ridging over the central U.S. will continue anomalously warmth for
the Northern/Central Plains and Upper Midwest through Wednesday. High
temperatures in the 40s and low 50s are expected for the Upper Midwest on
Tuesday and Wednesday, 20-30 degrees above average. which will likely
break daily record high temperatures. Highs temperatures generally from
the Rockies to the Northeast will be above average and mild.
Life threatening and damaging Flash Flooding likely across much of
central/southern California through Monday.
Heavy Snow for parts of the Sierra Nevada and the Great Basin.
The ongoing Atmospheric River event will continue to produce heavy rain,
strong winds, high surf, and heavy snow across much of central and
southern California over the next few days. High rain rates over very
vulnerable/primed surfaces will lead to flash flooding tonight across
portions of central and southern California, which is why there's a
Moderate Risk of Excessive Rainfall (level 3/4) for this area with an
embedded High Risk (level 4/4) area over parts of Santa Barbara, Ventura
and Los Angeles Counties. Heavy rain will also occur over the foothills of
the Sierra Nevada tonight where a Slight Risk of Excessive Rainfall (level
2/4) is in effect. Heavy snow will continue across the Sierra and Shasta
Siskiyous through Monday where 1-3' of snow are expected with isolated 4'
amounts over the highest elevations. Some snow is also likely for the
Great Basin where up to a foot of snow is possible over portions of
central Nevada. Strong winds will cause high surf up and down the
California coast, whipping rain at lower elevations and blowing snow
across the Sierra are also likely with High Wind and Winter Storm Warnings
in effect for parts of the state.
The moisture plume sags south Monday night into Tuesday and focuses along
a surface cold front over southern California and the southern Sierra
Nevada. Heavy to Excessive Rainfall is likely from San Luis County down to
San Diego County, where a Slight Risk of Excessive Rainfall is in effect.
Another High Risk of Excessive Rainfall is in effect for parts of Los
Angeles and Orange Counties on Monday where areal totals of 1-3" of rain
and isolated higher amounts are possible. Heavy Snow impacts will wane
across northern/central Sierra while continuing over the southern section
of the mountain range. Cool air will filter in on the backside of the cold
front and allow for heavy snow to develop over the higher elevations of
the Transverse Ranges. About another foot of snow is forecast for the
southern Sierra, and 1-2' are possible over the Transverse Ranges and
Central Great Basin. Rain and snow will continue over the Central Great
Basin of Nevada where around a foot of snow is expected.
Elsewhere, some moderate to heavy rain and thunderstorms are possible over
coastal areas of Georgia and South Carolina tonight where a Marginal Risk
of Excessive Rainfall is in effect (level 1/4). Around an inch of rainfall
is currently forecast for that area. Some light rain and snow are also
possible over portions of the Pacific Northwest and Northern Rockies. Up
to a foot of snow is possible for parts of the Cascades and Northern
Rockies through Monday afternoon. An upper-level ridge will strengthen
over the Central U.S. this week, leading to increasingly abnormally mild
temperatures for much of the Central and Eastern thirds of the country.
Temperatures across the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest will be 30-40
degrees above average which may tie or break existing daily temperature
records.
Dangerous Flash Flooding likely across Central/Southern California into
early next week.
Heavy Snow will cause extreme impacts over much of the Sierra Nevada on
Sunday and Monday.
Anomalous warmth continues across Northern/Central Plains and
Upper/Middle Mississippi Valley.
A highly amplified upper-level pattern will support multiple sensible
weather hazards across the CONUS over the next few days. Moderate to heavy
snowfall will continue across parts of the Northern/Central Rockies
through Sunday before coming to an end Sunday night. Heavy rainfall and
scattered thunderstorms will spread into central California tonight as a
warm front associated with an approaching low pressure system focuses
moisture and instability over the area. A Slight Risk of Excessive
Rainfall (level 2/4) is in effect for portions of the central California
coast from the Bay Area down through Big Sur. Conditions worsen on Sunday
as the low pressure system arrives along the California coast. There is a
High Risk of Excessive Rainfall (level 4/4) over portions of Santa
Barbara, Ventura and Los Angeles Counties where the combination of high
moisture, instability and lift (cold front) will produce a dangerous Flash
Flooding situation. It's strongly recommended that people: heed warnings
from emergency management personnel, the local forecast office guidance
and avoid driving through flooded roadways. Broader Moderate (level 3/4)
and Slight Risk areas will encompass most of the central and southern
coast as well as upslope areas of the Sierra Nevada and parts of the
Central Valley. This moisture plume will spread east into the Sierra,
leading to an extremely impactful heavy snow event over the mountains and
actually spilling over into portions of the western Great Basin. Winter
Storm Warnings are in effect for the aforementioned areas where 4-6'+ of
snow is probable. High winds will also be a significant issue with
whipping rain in the low elevations and blowing snow likely in the Sierra
on Sunday. The focus for heavy rainfall and scattered thunderstorms shift
into southern California Sunday night into Monday as the upper low
continues to direct energy and moisture into the region beneath a
persistently strong jet streak. A Moderate Risk of Excessive Rainfall is
in effect for portions of Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego and Riverside
Counties where the strong cold front will act as a focus for potential
flash flooding.
Elsewhere, a developing low pressure system will focus heavy rain and
thunderstorms across the central Gulf Coast tonight. A Slight Risk of
Excessive Rainfall is in effect for portions of southeast Louisiana into
southern Mississippi. The low pressure system will then move into the
eastern Gulf Coast and spread heavy rain and thunderstorm activity into
the Florida Peninsula on Sunday. A Slight Risk of Severe Thunderstorms
(level 2/5) is in effect for portions of south Florida where isolated to
scattered severe storms will be possible in the morning. An omega block
ridge will persist over the central-eastern U.S. through early next week,
which will support above average temperatures across the Great Plains,
Mississippi Valley and Midwest. The highest anomalies of around +30-40
degrees will occur over portions of the Northern Plains and Upper
Mississippi Valley where high temperatures will be in the 40s while low
temperatures drop into the upper 20s to mid 30s.
Hi this is meteorologist Steve Pelletiere, and I am the weather man!
1st I'd like to say a very big happy birthday to Ms. Rose Marcopoto of Bloomfield NJ as we celebrate her 100th birthday today, actually Rose's birthday was on Friday, groundhog's day but rose doesn't like to share the spotlight . We've got lots of people coming together to celebrate with her today. Happy birthday Rose and happy birthday to anyone having a birthday on this third day of February.
1st just giving you an indication of the severity of the weather out on the West Coast this weekend. The forecast for LA is calling for just a chance of showers today , that's not where the problems lye Rain is likely tonight , but we are only looking at 1/4 of an inch to half inch it's on Sunday as the storm the storm builds it's going to be a rainy day in LA and is going to pour during the daylight hours Sunday.
Up to an inch of rain daytime . It's during the evening Sunday night and Monday when rain will approach between 3:00 and 5:00 inches in the LA basin and further north as well. The advisories for LA include a high surf advisory flood watches and warnings and wind advisories. The wind advisory is for Sunday through Monday. And here at weathermanpod.com , we talk about the weather for the nations aviation hubs.
If you want the exact forecast for your town you can go to ionweather.com and say your zip code and you'll get the forecast for your local area. But generally what we do here is give you an indication of how the airline hubs across the nation will be operating , dependent on the weather.
Here is the updated aviation weather across the nation’s airline hubs for your Saturday and Sunday February 3/4/2024. The first wave of low pressures that moved into the West Coast moved across the four corners region and down into Texas in the central plains. Heavy rains today are expected across Louisiana, including New Orleans, in Texarkana. Firstly thought, if you're flying out of Newark, NY , Philly or Boston, the weather looks very good and no aviation weather delays expected there. Charlotte and Atlanta are also doing very good but that weather will change on Sunday when the Atlanta area will get storm rains associated with that central Gulf Coast weather. Expect delays possible on Sunday in Atlanta .
Miami so far looking is very good for today and most of Sunday . Texas had heavy thunderstorms late Friday and those storms moved east now. Houston and Dallas are doing very well with no problems weather wise. Over the great lakes Chicago ,Detroit, and Cleveland all looking pretty good No problems weather wise in Minneapolis , Saint Paul. Omaha will have rain with slight delays there. A bigger concern is Denver where although at Denver only looking at between 2:00 and 5:00 inches of snow winter storm watches are in effect there. Heaviest snows will be in the mountains to the west and north .Western sections of Wyoming, Montana and northern Utah will be experiencing heavy snows late today and Sunday. In the meantime the next river of rain, those big storms moving into the West Coast will be arriving in coastal California late Sunday and Sunday night and that will cause extensive delays in LA and possibly San Francisco at that time. Saturday's weather in LA is not bad and Monday will be in the height of the storm so better weather on Tuesday through midweek. San Francisco rains later Saturday and Sunday and a little dry patch for Saturday in Seattle in Portland but from more rain will be moving in as we get into the early portion of the week.
I’m meteorologist Steve Pellettiere, president of Ion Weather Research, and I am the weatherman. Please check in to the weatherman pod.com on Sunday for further updates.
Take Care!
Heavy Snow spreads into Great Basin, Intermountain West and Rockies.
Severe Weather and Excessive Rainfall impacts shift into the Southern
Plains on Friday.
Mild temperatures persist across central part of the country through
this weekend.
A powerful low pressure system will spread winter, severe and rain hazards
across western and central parts of the country. Tonight, heavy rain and
snow impacts will come to an end over California, while tropical and
subtropical moisture converge to spread snow over the Great Basin
Intermountain West and Rockies. This snow will continue while the low
pressure system tracks across the Four Corners region on Friday. The storm
system will reorganize over the Central/Southern High Plains on Friday
while it begins to tap moisture and instability from the Gulf of Mexico.
This moisture will interact with a prominent jet streak aloft and strong
convergence at the surface along a cold front and dryline. This
combination may produce severe thunderstorms across Oklahoma/Texas and the
Lower Mississippi Valley beginning in the late afternoon on Friday. A
Slight Risk (level 2/5) of Severe Thunderstorms is in effect for portions
of South-Central Texas where large hail, tornadoes and strong wind gusts
will be possible. The focus for Heavy Rainfall and thunderstorms will
shift into the Lower Mississippi Valley and central Gulf Coast on Saturday
where the deep redeveloped low pressure system will move into. As a
result, a Slight Risk (level 2/4) of Excessive Rainfall is in effect for
portions eastern Texas, southern Arkansas, Louisiana and southern
Mississippi on Saturday.
An omega block ridge over the Central U.S. will support mild temperatures
from the Great Plains to the East Coast through this weekend. Portions of
the Northern/Central Plains into the Upper/Middle Mississippi Valley will
experience low temperatures from the upper 20s to low 50s through early
next week, which may tie or break existing records. Temperatures in the
Southern Plains will moderate a bit beneath the deepening upper-level low
on Saturday.
Flash Flooding possible across parts of northern/central California
today, then central/southern California on Thursday.
Heavy Snow spreads into the Sierra Nevada, Great Basin, Intermountain
West and Rockies.
Above average temperatures continue across middle third of the
country.
Moisture will focus along a strong surface front entering the West Coast
tonight. Heavy to excessive rainfall is expected to impact the southern
Oregon coast down through central California tonight into early Thursday
morning. A Slight Risk (level 2/4) of Excessive Rainfall leading to Flash
Flooding is in effect for much of the aforementioned areas this evening.
The Flash Flooding threat shifts southward into southern California,
portions of the Central Valley and the foothills of the Sierra Nevada on
Thursday as the axis of heavy rain and thunderstorms sags south into a
highly sensitive and/or urbanized corridor. A Slight Risk (level 2/4) of
Excessive Rainfall is in effect for much of the southern California coast
from Los Angeles County down through the San Diego metro.
Heavy Snow will expand from the Shasta Siskiyous to the Sierra Nevada
tonight before spilling out over the Great Basin on Thursday and
eventually portions of the Intermountain West and Rockies on Friday. The
heaviest snowfall will occur over the Shasta Siskiyous and Sierra where
1-3' feet (isolated 4') are expected. Generally 1-2 feet are expected over
the higher elevations of the western mountains with isolated 2'+ amounts
possible. Low elevation rain is also expected as there will be warm air
associated with this low pressure system. Cloudy conditions will keep
temperatures cooler than average for much of the West Coast and Southwest
over the next couple of days.
A strong omega block high will support above average heights and
temperatures across the Central Plains and Mississippi Valley over the
next few days. Low temperatures in the 30s and 40s may break existing
records tonight over parts of the Central/Southern Plains and Upper/Middle
Mississippi Valley. High and low temperature anomalies will be +20-40
degrees above average. Elsewhere, snow showers are possible downwind of
the Lower Great Lakes and interior Northeast over the next couple of days
due to a low pressure system coming out of Canada. 2-4" of snowfall may
accumulate over northern Maine by Friday.
Heavy to Excessive Rainfall impact the West Coast this week, while
Heavy snow to blankets the Sierra Nevada, Intermountain West and Rockies.
Above average warm air expands from Great Plains into Mississippi
Valley.
Tonight, a low pressure system moving across the Ohio Valley will spread
some light rain showers over the region through portions of the
Mid-Atlantic. Snow showers and a wintry mix are possible over the Central
Appalachians of western Virginia, eastern West Virginia and western North
Carolina. Some light snow may also work its way into eastern Pennsylvania,
northern New Jersey, southern Upstate New York and New York City through
early tomorrow morning. Little to no accumulations/impacts are expected
from this winter weather.
Meanwhile, tonight, a strong surface low pressures system, supported by a
deep upper-level low will arrive over the West Coast. This system will
transport deep moisture into the West over the course of the next few
days. Heavy rainfall and scattered thunderstorms are possible from the
southern coast of Oregon down into Los Angeles County. A Slight Risk of
Excessive Rainfall leading to Flash Flooding is in effect for portions of
the southern Oregon coast down through central California on Wednesday
due, in part, to the potential presence of instability generating higher
rainfall rates over vulnerable surfaces. Heavy mountain snow (6000-7000')
kicks off over the Shasta Siskiyous and Sierra on Wednesday afternoon.
Once the upper trough moves ashore and the surface cold front moves into
the Great Basin on Thursday, snow levels will drop to about 4000-5000'
leading to lower elevation heavy snowfall potential in the Sierra. Total
snowfall accumulations will range between 1-3 feet by Friday, when
conditions are expected to improve. The focus for heavy rainfall will
shift into southern California on Thursday, enhanced by a digging trough
aloft, an embedded surface wave and attendant cold front at the surface.
Rain and snow showers spread into the Great Basin, Intermountain West, and
Rockies on Thursday. Meanwhile, a low pressure system moving across
Ontario and Quebec will produce light snowfall over portions of northern
Upstate New York/New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine beginning Thursday
morning.
An omega block high with embedded shortwave energy will continue to
support increased heights over the Central U.S.. Warm temperature
anomalies ranging between 20-40 degrees above average will expand across
the Great Plains and Mississippi Valley through the end of the week as a
result. The potential for widespread record low temperatures will pick up
later in the week over the Northern/Central Plains and Upper/Middle
Mississippi Valley. Lower heights in the West will generate cooler
temperatures around 10-20 degrees below average later this week and into
the weekend.
Hi this is meteorologist Steve Pelletttiere and I am the weatherman. Thanks for checking in to the weathermanpod.com for this Tuesday the 30th day of January 2024. Here on the weatherman pod, we first take a look across the nation for the airline hubs and see where there's any travel delays expected using those major airline hubs like Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas Fort Worth , the New York City area the west coast as well. We give you an outlook about what to expect delay wise in and out of those places. Well, for Tuesday, not much happening across the nation . The weather looks great down in Miami, just about all of Texas is going to be dry as will Chicago and Minneapolis Saint Paul. DC is looking pretty good as does Newark ,NY and the Boston area. Denver, no problem with snow there and LA and San Francisco looking dry, but another area of low pressure is moving in from the Aleutians and that's going to give pacific northwest some rainy weather commencing later tomorrow and through midweek.
So All in all no problems are expected, traveling wise ,across most of the nation on your Tuesday . Here’s a quick peek at Wednesdays weather .We see those Pacific Northwest storms moving in stronger so Seattle and Portland will be raining as well as San Francisco Juar some rain showers across from Charlotte down to the Atlanta area but no major problems expected.
Here's a look at the weather situation across the northeast corridor that includes DC to Baltimore Philadelphia New York and Boston, and this is the weather forecast for that area for today Tuesday right up through this upcoming first weekend of February. Everyone's been talking about the cloud cover being with us I've been told it's been about 10 days now that we've had this extra cloud cover it looks like it remains on Tuesday temperatures generally in the 30s to near 40 which is pretty close to normal for this time of year. Tuesday night looks cloudy lows down into the upper 20s and more clouds for Wednesday as we end the month with highs generally in the upper 30s and low 40s. Thursday is the first day of February this year we've got the 29th coming up it's leap year and we're going to have generally fair skies to start off the month with partial sunshine on Thursday 47. I'll believe it when i see it Friday is also looking partly sunny with highs in the middle 40s but a cold front moves through and that means that on Saturday and Sunday sunshine but temperatures colder in the mid to upper 30s. Friday is groundhog's day for all the local groundhogs in the nation. Our Punxsutawney Phil ,despite what the weather, seems to have its own mind as far as whether or not he sees his shadow.Right now the weather situation looks fair, for Friday in Punxsutawney Pennsylvania however good possibility he won't see his shadow, why I have no idea.
Thanks for checking into weathermanpod.com on this Tuesday hope you have a great day more update on the weather the last day of the month on Wednesday look at the beginning of February. Have a great day
Heavy snow continues for portions of New England, the northern
Mid-Atlantic, and Appalachians.
Clipper-like system to bring rain and snow showers to the Great Lakes,Ohio Valley, and Appalachians Monday to Tuesday.
Much above average, mild temperatures for late January for much of the country.
Moisture flowing inland around a low pressure system moving through theMid-Atlantic today will continue to lead to precipitation chances from theOhio Valley/Lower Great Lakes eastward through the Appalachians,Mid-Atlantic, and New England. The most impactful weather will be throughportions of southern New England west through the Catskills, Southern Tier
of New York/northern Pennsylvania, and southward through the Appalachianswhere accumulating snow is expected. The snow will likely be heaviest forportions of Southern New England and higher elevations of the southern
Appalachians, where Winter Storm Warnings are in effect for totalaccumulations generally between 4-8", with more moderate totals closer to2-4" elsewhere. Otherwise, rain showers will be possible for the OhioValley and southern Mid-Atlantic with a chance for a light wintry mix forthe Lower Great Lakes, with little to no accumulations anticipated.Precipitation should taper off from southwest to northeast through the dayMonday as the systems moves out into the Atlantic.
Conditions across the rest of the central and eastern U.S. will remainmostly dry. Some light to moderate rain/snow showers will dropsoutheastward from the Upper Midwest through the Great Lakes and into theUpper Ohio Valley and Appalachians late Monday night and into the dayTuesday with a clipper-like system. Any accumulations should remainlimited to a few inches of snow for higher elevations of the centralAppalachians. The West will be quiet too besides for some shower chances
in the Pacific Northwest as a series of Pacific waves pass by. A moreimpactful Atmospheric River event is expected for the West Coast laterthis week just beyond the current forecast period, though there is achance some heavier rain could begin for portions of northern California/southwestern Oregon Tuesday evening.
Broad upper-level ridging over the West beginning to shift/expand eastward will keep high temperatures above average by 10-20 degrees for most of the country early this week. The greatest anomalies will be in the Northern/Central Plains where highs in the 40s, 50s, and even some low 60s
are upwards of 25-30 degrees above average. Highs along the West Coast will be quite anomalously warm too, with 60s for the Pacific Northwest/northern California and 70s for southern California. Highs in both locations may tie/break daily records Monday and Tuesday. Highs will remain cooler than average for portions of the Southeast/Florida as conditions are slower to moderate following a cold front passage this weekend, with highs mostly in the 50s and 60s.
Heavy snow over parts of the Northeast and snow over parts of the
Appalachians on Sunday.
Scattered rain/freezing rain over parts of eastern New York State into
Southern New England.
Temperatures will be 15 to 25 degrees above average over parts of
Northern/Central High Plains
Low pressure over the Central Appalachians/Mid-Atlantic moves eastward off
the Mid-Atlantic coast by Sunday evening. The system will produce rain
over the Ohio Valley to the Mid-Atlantic, and showers and thunderstorms
will develop over parts of the Coastal Mid-Atlantic into Florida.
Also, snow will develop from parts of the Ohio Valley/Lower Great Lakes to
New England as the precipitation shield moves into colder air on Sunday.
Heavy snow will develop over parts of eastern New York State into Northern
New England, while pockets of rain/freezing rain will develop from parts
of eastern New York State into Southern New England. Snow will also
develop over parts of the Central/Southern Appalachians. The rain mainly
ends by Monday morning while snow lingers across parts of the Lower Great
Lakes into New England and the Central/Southern Appalachians into Monday
evening.
Meanwhile, on Sunday, upper-level ridging will aid in producing
temperatures 15 to 25 degrees above average over parts of the
Northern/Central High Plains. Furthermore, moisture streaming into the
Pacific Northwest and Northern California will produce rain over parts of
the region through Monday morning. Overnight Monday, moisture will return
to the Olympic Peninsula, creating rain over parts of northwestern
Washington State.
Elsewhere, overnight Monday, a developing front over the Great Lakes will
create light snow and scattered rain over parts of the Upper Mississippi
Valley and Upper Great Lakes.
Heavy snow and rain/freezing rain over parts of Northern New England
and snow over parts of the Appalachians on Sunday.
There is a Slight Risk of excessive rainfall over parts of the
Central/Southern Appalachians and Mid-Atlantic on Saturday.
There is a Slight Risk of severe thunderstorms over parts of the
Southeast on Saturday.
A wave of low pressure over the Lower Mississippi Valley moves
northeastward to the Mid-Atlantic by Sunday, then out over the Western
Atlantic by Monday. Moisture will surge northward over the Southeast into
the Mid-Atlantic, producing heavy rain. Therefore, the WPC has issued a
Slight Risk of excessive rainfall over parts of the Central/Southern
Appalachians and Mid-Atlantic through Sunday morning. The associated heavy
rain will create mainly localized areas of flash flooding, with urban
areas, roads, and small streams the most vulnerable. Moreover, light snow
will fall over parts of the Lower Great Lakes along the northern edge of
the precipitation shield.
Additionally, showers and severe thunderstorms will develop over parts of
the Southeast. Therefore, the SPC has issued a Slight Risk of severe
thunderstorms over parts of the Southeast through Sunday morning. The
hazards associated with these thunderstorms are frequent lightning, severe
thunderstorm wind gusts, few tornadoes, and a minimal threat of hail.
On Sunday, rain will continue over the Ohio Valley to the Mid-Atlantic and
showers and thunderstorms will develop over parts of Coastal Mid-Atlantic
into Florida. However, the threat of severe thunderstorms and excessive
rainfall will end on Sunday.
Also, as the precipitation shield moves into colder air on Sunday, snow
will develop from parts of the Ohio Valley/Lower Great Lakes to New
England. Heavy snow will develop over parts of Northern New England, while
pockets of rain/freezing rain will develop from parts of eastern New York
State into Southern New England. Snow will also develop over parts of the
Central/Southern Appalachians. By Monday morning, the area of low pressure
will be over the Western Atlantic.
Meanwhile, moisture will stream into the Pacific Northwest and Northern
California, mainly producing rain and highest-elevation snow in a few
places. The rain will continue over the Pacific Northwest through early
Sunday afternoon. The rain will be over by Monday morning.
Thanks for listening to weathermanpod.com , I'm Steve Pellettiere
Another round of heavy rains to affect the Lower Mississippi
Valley/Central Gulf coast, but drier weather on the way.
Icing and snow possible across northern New England/far northern New
York State Friday.
Above average temperatures across much of the nation over the next few
days, with numerous record high morning lows possible along both the west
and east coasts.
A continued very wet weather pattern on tap for potions of the country
from the Lower Mississippi Valley into the Central Gulf coastal region. A
series of storm systems has already produced very heavy rainfall totals
from eastern Texas into the Lower Mississippi Valley over the past few
days, with at least one more heavy rainfall event in store Friday into
Saturday before a much needed drier pattern develops for the end of the
weekend into next week. The current heavy rains falling across portions
of the central Gulf coast into the Tennessee Valley Thursday afternoon
will be diminishing this evening as the area of precipitation continues to
pull off to the northeast, affecting areas from the Ohio Valley/Lower
Great Lakes into the Northeast and New England. This dry period will be
short lived, however, as the next storm system begins to develop Friday
evening/night over eastern Texas and moves into the Lower Mississippi
Valley/Central Gulf coastal regions Saturday. Additional widespread heavy
rains likely from the Central Gulf Coast, northward into the Lower
Mississippi and Tennessee Valley. With soils saturated and stream flows
well above average, the expected additional rainfall will pose a flooding
threat across portions of the Lower Mississippi Valley and Central Gulf
coast. Flood watches are currently in effect across much of this region.
In addition to heavy rain and flooding threat, severe thunderstorms are
also possible Friday night into Saturday across these areas.
The active wet weather pattern is also helping to support much above
average temperatures across large portions of the nation over the next few
days. The morning low temperatures are expected to be especially
anomalous over the next few days with the potential for widespread record
high minimum temperatures Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning across large
portions of the east and Saturday and Sunday morning along large portions
of the West coast. The warmer than average temperatures having also been
producing widespread foggy conditions from the Mid-West, Lower Great Lakes
into the Northeast as the warm air moves over cooler ground/snow covered
grounds. This will likely continue again Thursday night into early Friday
with dense fog advisories currently in effect across these regions.
In this mild weather pattern, winter weather will be mostly absent from
the Lower 48. An exception will be across portions of northern New
England from Maine into New Hampshire, Vermont, far western Massachusetts
and far northern New York State where ice and snow are possible. The
heaviest snows are expected across central Maine into far northern New
Hampshire and far northeast Vermont where totals of 4 to 6 inches are
possible. Freezing rain totals of .10"+ are possible across large
portions of New Hampshire, Vermont, far western Massachusetts and far
northern New York State.
Flash Flooding and Severe Weather concerns continue for portions of the
Southern Plains, Gulf Coast, Lower Mississippi Valley and Southeast
Freezing rain impacts possible over parts of southern Maine/central New
England tonight
Unseasonably warm air surges into the eastern third of the country
leading to widespread record low temperatures through Thursday night
A shortwave trough will support repeated rounds of convection to develop
across the southern tier of the country over the next few days. Tonight
appears to be the worst of it from a heavy rainfall and severe weather
standpoint as anomalous moisture and significant instability make their
way into the region. A Moderate Risk (level 3/4) of Excessive Rainfall
leading to Flash Flooding is in effect for portions of eastern Texas,
Louisiana and southwest-to-central Mississippi, where the confluence of
moisture, instability and lift along the surface front will be greatest.
In addition to the Moderate Risk of Excessive Rainfall, a Slight Risk
(level 2/4) of Severe Thunderstorms is in effect over the Central Gulf
Coast where a few tornadoes and severe-wind gusts are possible. The
primary Flash Flood risk pivots into parts of the Southeast and Southern
Appalachians while remaining over the central Gulf Coast. The Severe
threat remains for the Lower Mississippi Valley and Southeast, but at a
lower/Marginal risk.
Hi this is meteorologist Steve Pelletieri and I am the weatherman! Thanks for stopping by weathermanpod.com on this Wednesday the 24th day of January 2024. On the weathermanpod.com we concentrate on aviation hub weather if you're traveling by plane anywhere in the country we talk about the major airline hubs the number one being Atlanta and other places like Dallas Fort Worth Charlotte Miami course Newark NY and the Boston area Minneapolis Saint Paul. We also talk about whether in Phoenix, Southern California at Los Angeles or San Diego, San Francisco and Portland OR along with Seattle WA. Bad weather in any of these places could mean significant delays with connecting flights. Delta has its hub in Atlanta and when Atlanta has bad weather it can slow down most of the delta North American operations similar with united at Newark Ohio at Cleveland and Chicago the original hub of United Airlines Dallas Fort Worth the hub for American and other airlines like Southwest at Love field also play an important raw and keeping flights going across North America. The gateway to south America as Miami many times the weather there can be quite severe slowing things down and transfers to other flights in the Caribbean central or South America as well. We'll also talk about other interesting weather news or comments that are appropriate for the time of year, For example ,did you know at the old Farmer’s Almanac predicted that temperatures would be two degrees above normal with limited snowfall for the northeast corridor during the month of December? Actually, during the month of December, temperatures were between 5 and 8 degrees above normal of course with low snowfall. Interestingly enough, the Farmer’s almanac predicts that temperatures will be two degrees below normal from DC to Boston during the month of January and with higher amounts of snowfall. Well, so far, coming on 2/3 to 3/4 of the way through the month we see that temperatures are still a little bit above normal but snowfall amounts in DC and Philadelphia are greater than they were all of last year. New York city continues to be on the low end with less than 3 inches of snow so far as we get closer to the end of the month of January. So all in all, the almanac did pretty good at least predicting warmer than normal conditions in December when it was way above normal and more snowfall for January and that seems to have happened as well. We'll keep on top of the almanac for the remainder of this winter as we approach Groundhog's day. But here at weathermanpod.com we also deal with the forecast in particular for the northeast corridor and that looks like it's going to be wet and warm over the next several days.
Here's the weather across the northeast corridor, and it looks like wet and warm weather as we get into the January thaw we'll talk about that more on Thursday's report but occasional rain and showers with temperatures near 40 expected for Wednesday day and more rain likely for Thursday arriving from the southwest temperatures on Thursday will range in the 40s but it's on Friday that we might have temperatures close to 60 in Philadelphia and New York still with some early showers but then a clearing trend for this upcoming weekend.
So that's the weather round up across the nation a little bit about the Farmer’s Almanac today I'm meteorologist Steve Pelletieri and I am the weatherman thanks for checking in we'll talk to you again soon.

Arctic air which has been well entrenched across large areas of the
central and eastern U.S. over the last week will be replaced this week by
much milder temperatures as a series of storm systems coming in from the
Pacific Ocean crosses the Southwest and then ejects east across the

Little to no precipitation is expected for most of the country as we ring
in 2024 tonight and head through New Year's Day, and temperatures for this
time of the year will be rather mild for many areas given the current
pattern that is in place. Much of the cold air that could be coming south
into the nation this time of the year remains focused well to the north
across Canada, and this will continue to result in a lack of wintry
weather going into the start of 2024. Over the next couple of days,
temperatures will be as much as 10 to 20 degrees above average for
portions of the Intermountain West, Northern Plains, Upper Midwest, and
the Great Lakes.
Happy New Year!
We run a little long today ....

The winter storm over the Midwest will slowly start winding down. Blizzard
Warnings will be ending later Tuesday evening. Furthermore, the storm will
also produce areas of light to moderate snow over parts of the
Northern/Central Plains and Middle Mississippi Valley overnight Tuesday
into Wednesday morning. In addition, an area of rain/freezing rain will
develop over parts of the Northern Plains into the Upper Mississippi
Valley.
...Heavy snow, blizzard conditions, and freezing rain likely to continue
across portions of the north-central U.S. through Tuesday...
...Flooding rains are possible across portions of the southern and central
Appalachians...

with some record breaking warmth possible in the Midwest and Great Lakes
both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day...
The upcoming holiday weekend will be stocking-stuffed with unsettled
weather from the Southwest and the Rockies to the Heartland and Great
Lakes. The culprits responsible are two upper level disturbances; one in
the Pacific Northwest and a closed upper low tracking into southern
Arizona this evening. The disturbance over the Northwest will bring about
periods of mountain snow and valley rain from the Washington/Oregon coast
to the northern Rockies and northern Great Basin tonight. The more potent
of the two features is the closed low approaching southern Arizona as it
funnels rich subtropical moisture into the Desert Southwest. The Weather
Prediction Center has a Slight Risk for Excessive Rainfall in place from
far Southern California and the Lower Colorado River Valley to southeast
Arizona. A little farther north, heavy snow is expected in the higher
terrain of the Southern Rockies where over a foot of snow is possible
tonight and into Saturday. In the Great Lakes, a weak wave of low pressure
tracking along a stalled frontal boundary will generate showers from the
Middle Mississippi Valley to the Lower Great Lakes this evening and
overnight.
.Heavy rainfall and flash flash flooding will continue to impact areas
of southern California through Friday, with the threat gradually expanding
into the Southwest...
...Unsettled weather will advance across the Pacific Northwest and the
Intermountain West going through Saturday with lower-elevation rains and
higher-elevation snowfall...
...Unusually mild temperatures across the Plains and Midwest will persist
into the early part of the Christmas holiday weekend...
Dry weather for the NE Corridor including NY, NJ and SE Pa...
Heavy to excessive rainfall is expected tonight and Thursday across
southern California where there will be significant concerns for flash
flooding...
...Very mild temperatures for this time of the year will continue through
the remainder of the week for large areas of the country...
...Unsettled weather to arrive across the Pacific Northwest by Friday...
With the departure of the low pressure system further away into
southeastern Canada, a relatively quiet weather pattern is expected to
prevail across the eastern two-thirds of the country under the influence
of a cool and stable high pressure system. The most active weather will
be found along the West Coast where a low pressure system is forecast to
stay not too far offshore while moving very slowly to the south through
the next few days. Rain will be the primary precipitation type associated
with this system except wet snow expected over the higher elevations along
the Sierra Nevada. The heaviest rainfall is expected to impact areas near
the coast of California from north to south as the system dips generally
southward. Rainfall amounts are forecast to be 1 to 2 inches with locally
higher amounts near the coast of northern to central California tonight
into Wednesday before shifting southward into the coastal sections of
southern California, where a higher chance of heavy rain with locally a
few inches of rainfall totals possible on Thursday. Flash flooding may
become an issue given these forecast rainfall amounts.
.Lake-effect snow downwind of the Great Lakes and upslope snow over
parts of the Northern/Central Appalachians...
...Rain for most of the West Coast...
The storm system that brought several inches of rain up the Eastern
Seaboard continues to impact the Northeast today with widespread heavy
rain that resulted in river flooding, scattered to widespread areas with
flash flooding with some areas experiencing road washouts. A Moderate Risk
for excessive rainfall is in effect for most of New Hampshire and
central/southern Maine through Tuesday morning. A Slight Risk spans from
eastern New York to eastern Maine while a Marginal encompasses that part
of the region and extends to central New York and most of New Jersey. This
deep storm will continue to produce periods of heavy rain over parts of
New England as it pulls continues to track offshore. Additionally, the
storm will produce showers and thunderstorms over the northern
Mid-Atlantic Coast/southern New England Coast. The threat of heavy rain
ends on Tuesday as the system moves farther into Canada.
THANKS FOR LISTENING IN TO THE WEATHERMANPOD.COM… I'M STEVE PELLETIERI. THE INTENSE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVING UP ALONG THE EASTERN SEABOARD ALMOST A CLASSIC NORTHEASTERN FASHION HAS BEEN CAUSING QUITE A BIT OF RAINFALL FROM CENTRAL PA EASTWARD THROUGH NEW JERSEY SOUTHERN NEW YORK AFTER HAVING GONE THROUGH VIRGINIA WEST VIRGINIA AND THE CAROLINAS DURING THE EARLIER PORTION OF SUNDAY THIS LOW PRESSURE WILL MOVE OFFSHORE SOMETIME IN THE AFTERNOON HOURS ON MONDAY AND THEN WE GET INTO AN IMPROVING FLOW BUT A STRONG NORTHWESTERLY WIND WILL CAUSE LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS SOUTH OF LAKE SUPERIOR THE EAST SHORES OF LAKE MI LAKE HURON ONTARIO AND ERIE. SOME OF THOSE SNOW SHOWERS WILL MAKE IT TO THE POCONOS CATSKILLS AND EVEN PORTIONS OF THE NEW YORK METROPOLITAN AREA DURING THE OVERNIGHT MONDAY INTO TUESDAY THEN DRIER WEATHER WILL ARRIVE MIDWEEK MOST LIKELY LAST UP UNTIL CHRISTMAS DAY
.A rapidly intensifying low pressure system will bring an increasingly
stormy end to the week for the entire Eastern Seaboard reaching up into
New England on Monday...
...Colder air behind the storm will trigger lake-enhanced snow from west
to east across the Great Lakes toward the Appalachians on Monday...
...A slow-moving oceanic storm in the Pacific will spread unsettled
weather up the West Coast through the next few days...
The big weather maker for this weekend will be an intense storm tracking
across Florida and up the Southeast coast with likely impacts to travel as
well. This storm will bring an array of weather including very heavy
rainfall, gusty winds, coastal flooding, and some threat for severe
weather from Florida to the Mid-Atlantic states. The latest rainfall
forecast from WPC through Sunday evening shows potential for widespread
2-4 inches of rain, with locally higher amounts especially along the
Georgia and South Carolina coasts, increasing the threat for flooding and
flash flooding. Some of these rainfall amounts could also approach or
exceed daily rainfall records for mid-December. Gusty winds and onshore
flow will also likely bring coastal flooding along much of the East Coast
into early next week. The low pressure system will deepen as it lifts up
the East Coast next Monday and Tuesday as well, past the short range
period, with rain and wind impacts moving into the Northeast.
Dry conditions and mild today and Saturday ...then a major area of rain moves in to the Northeast Sunday and Monday... A chance of rain and snow on Tuesday then dry to Friday of next week..
``` Cool and dry high pressure will remain in control across theregion through the end of the week. A strong low pressuresystem will move up the East Coast late Sunday into Monday. Highpressure may build back in for the middle of next week.
```
``` A cold front moves across tonight. Strong high pressure thenstarts to build in through midweek. High pressure continues tobuild in on Thursday and remains in control through Saturday. Acold front moves through late Saturday, with brief high pressurebuilding back in through early Sunday. Low pressure impacts thearea Sunday night through early next week.
```
Low pressure and a strong cold **front** will quickly lift outacross New England toward the Canadian Maritime Provincesthrough tonight. High pressure will build across the Mid-Atlantic through Tuesday. A weak cold **front** drops though thearea early Wednesday. More high pressure returns for the end ofthe week.
``` Some wet snow mixing in as far southeast as I-95 sites as the lightrain ends; perhaps a brief period of -SN at ABE, but little to noaccumulation. Quickly improving to VFR after 15Z all sites from SWto NE. Winds NW 15-25 KT with some gusts 30-35 kt possible mainlyprior to 18Z, then gradually easing through the evening. Moderateconfidence.

A strong frontal system approachesfrom the west Sunday with its associated cold front movingacross Sunday night. High pressure returns for early next week.
```
The national outlooks for December through February are below. What this means for Maryland:
- A regional blizzard just needs a couple days of the right combination of weather ingredients to come together. So one can happen in any winter. Be prepared.
- Fewer arctic outbreaks.
- Lesser chance of long-lasting cold.
- More coastal storms - which can lead to big, regional snowstorms IF cold air is in place and the storm track is favorable.
A multi-day atmospheric river event will continue to impact the
Northwest and Rockies with heavy rain and significant mountain snowfall
Sunday and into Monday...
...Unsettled weather is forecast across the eastern third of the country
with rain along the East Coast & wintry weather from parts of the Midwest
and Great Lakes to northern New England...
...Generally milder than normal temperatures expected for across most of
the Lower 48...
``` Low pressure tracking toward Lake Ontario will lift a warm frontinto our area by Sunday, before another low develops and tracks offthe coast. Weak high pressure builds in for early next week,followed by a weak storm system passing by around Tuesday night.Expect progressively colder temperatures through Thursday as highpressure builds in for the latter part of next week.

Winter Preparedness
Before the first snowflakes even fall, there are steps we can take to prepare for winter weather! Read the list below. Even if you have completed these in years past, it is important to review these items to ensure everything is up to date!
Preseason Winter Readiness Checklist:
- Build your personal emergency plan
- A checklist is available in multiple languages at the Preparedness Buddy page here
- Have a plan to stay informed of winter weather conditions and forecasts!
- Have a trusted source for weather forecast information, including commercial radio, TV, weather radio, NWS webpage, or another trusted source.
- Download the FEMA App to set up local alerts.
- Build and stock a basic emergency kit and vehicle emergency kit for all people, animals, and vehicles in your household
- Prepare a checklists for what to include in both an at home emergency kit as well as vehicle emergency kits
- Don't forget to include pets' needs in preparing an emergency kit.
- Prepare your vehicle for winter weather and cold temperatures by checking and/or replacing lights, tires, and wiper blades and ensuring that it is otherwise in good working order
- Winterize your home and area around your hole by weather proofing your house, removing dead or weak limbs and branches.
Heavy snow and gusty winds will impact the central and southern Rockies
into the central Plains through tonight and Saturday...
...Light accumulating snowfall expected across the Midwest...
...Temperatures will be below average for large sections of the country
this holiday weekend...
...Some rain expected to traverse the Gulf Coast states...
A storm system crossing the Intermountain West will continue to bring
areas of heavy snowfall to the central and southern Rockies, and also the
central Plains going through tonight and Saturday. Coinciding with the
heavy snow will be very cold temperatures and gusty winds which will
result in snow-covered roads, reduced visibilities, and hazardous travel
conditions. Additional snowfall amounts of as much as 6 to 12 inches can
be expected over the central and southern Rockies, with some of the higher
peaks seeing 1 to 2 feet. The snow that is currently over Nebraska will
settle southward tonight and advance over large areas of Kansas on
Saturday, and this will bring as much as 4 to 8 inches of snow here. This
winter storm should then taper down going through the remainder of the
weekend, but the temperatures will remain locally well below average.
Many areas of the rest of the country will also be below average heading
through the holiday weekend as an elongated axis of cold high pressure
initially stretching from the Intermountain West east through the Plains,
Midwest and Mid-Atlantic states remains in place most of the period.
Temperatures will be as much as 10 to 20 degrees below normal, with the
colder temperature anomalies persisting out across the central Plains
where the aforementioned winter storm and added snowpack will help
reinforce the cold airmass.
However, high pressure at least over the Midwest and toward the East Coast
will weaken and give way by early Sunday to multiple areas of low pressure
and the arrival of a couple of new cold fronts. This will include the
remnants of the aforementioned winter storm over the Rockies and Plains
that will cross the Midwest with at least a swath of light accumulating
snowfall. Meanwhile, a weak storm system traversing the Gulf Coast states
will give way to an area of low pressure forming just offshore of the
Mid-Atlantic states by late Sunday. This will bring some rain to the Gulf
Coast states and eventually areas of the Mid-Atlantic coastal plain. Just
after this period heading into early next week, this low center coupled
with weak low pressure over the Ohio Valley should consolidate and lead to
a stronger area of low pressure and heavier precipitation that will impact
portions of New England.
THANKS FOR LISTENING IN TO THE WEATHERMANPOD.COM… I'M STEVE PELLETIERI. WE TALK ABOUT SNOW SQUALLS AND THEIR IMPACT ON HIGHWAY DRIVING AND TRAVEL ACROSS THE REGION….

Generally great weather across the nation on this Friday and this first weekend of November 2023… No major areas of low pressure will be plaguing the airline hubs…In particular dry in Newark, NY, Atlanta, Dallas ,Denver ,Detroit and Boston,,, even South Florida looking OK but they'll have some scattered showers. Weather wise for the mid-Atlantic corridors, it looks dry right through Sunday and a little bit milder too but not as warm as it was just about a week ago… Temperatures will be near normal and in consulting the old farmer’s Almanac we see that the forecast for the month of November is for near normal conditions for the Mid-Atlantic and early northeast up into southern portions of New England …Precipitation amounts should also be near normal ….We're going to keep an eye on that as the month progresses… last year the Almanac had a tough time and we'll discuss that in further podcasts…Until then, have a great day and a great weekend
We start off very chilly on this Thursday morning second day of November…Frost warnings all across much of the interior eastern and northeastern portion of the nation, whereby high pressure is now moving into the nation's midsection with dry conditions extending from New Jersey, New York City ,Philadelphia down to Atlanta westward all the way to the West Coast …Only rainy weather that we see is up in the Portland and Seattle area where hefty rains will probably be on and off there over the next several days… but in the northeast, a fair chilly start to the day with strong frost…Looks like frosty weather on Friday but nice weather for this upcoming weekend. Check in again on Friday for more weather information across the nation.
First day of November already and the first frost occurring a little bit later than usual in the northeast but just about in time across the Mid-Atlantic and southeastern states. Over the Great Lakes there were areas of snow on Tuesday and then accounted to traces up to as much as four inches mostly the heaviest snow to the east and southeast of Lake Michigan and Lake Superior. More importantly , that represents the cold air moving down out of Canada the first strong outbreak that we've seen this season. In stark contrast to the very warm weather last week, we're going to be chilling down for the next several days but generally dry for the weekend. The weather is not going to be a major problem this weekend. The major airline hubs except for Seattle where an series of strong north Pacific lows will be starting to move in with strong winds and heavy rains Wednesday through Thursday in the Pacific NW. Check back on Thursday for a better look at the weekend
Cool weather returns to the northeast for Halloween and the beginning of November…A first strong frost is a good possibility for either Wednesday night or even Thursday night then a gradual moderation in temperatures should develop as we get into the weekend . Across the nation no major problems with the airline hubs looking OK at Newark and JFK, Boston and DC but in Charlotte , maybe some showers The Atlanta area is clearing but rain blustery conditions and varied cloud cover will slow things down in the Chicago land area …also in Minneapolis Saint Paul with possibility of some snow and snow showers there along with strong northwest winds…. Denver is looking great and on the West Coast dry weather continues to reign… Check in again on Wednesday for more weather news and a look at the weekend…
Wet weather greets us on this 30th day of October on your Monday…. looks like a clearing trend for trick or treaters on Tuesday in the northeast but still lots of showers expected across the Tennessee and the Ohio Valley East extending all the way down to the gulf near Louisiana and Mississippi as a frontal system continues to track further eastward…High pressure builds in for the midweek and looks like some decent weather right through Thursday and Friday. Aviation hub weather is showing slight delays in Newark ,NY and in the Boston area but in Atlanta and Charlotte looking pretty good…During the daytime on Tuesday some of that weather will be moving into Atlanta slowing things down there for Tuesday and Wednesday most of the heavy weather is in East Texas… Denver still looking good …LA,San Francisco and Seattle are fine no problems as far as the weather is concerned the those places… any delays you get probably because of the airline or equipment problems. Have a great day… check in tomorrow.
