...Heavy rain and mountain snow for the West over the next few days....
...A developing system will bring precipitation chances to much of the
eastern U.S. heading into the workweek...
An active weather pattern will continue across the western U.S. over the
next few days as deep Pacific moisture continues to move inland. An upper
level low near the Pacific Northwest, along with a well-defined frontal
zone, will provide additional lift and enhance precipitation amounts. The
greatest rainfall amounts are expected from central California to western
Washington, where 2 to locally 6 inches of rainfall will be possible
through Monday. Heavy snow is likely for the higher elevations of the
Sierra, Cascades, and the northern Rockies, with snowfall amounts in
excess of one to two feet possible. Winter storm watches and warnings are
in effect for these areas.
A second low pressure system will pass just north of the Great Lakes and
then New England through Sunday night. This will bring snow showers to
much of the Great Lakes region and portions of upper New England during
this time. For the remainder of the U.S., a strong area of high pressure
will continue to exit towards the Atlantic Seaboard. Return flow on the
backside of this high pressure system should bring moisture and scattered
rain showers across the Deep South states today and tonight.
Another low pressure system is expected to eject eastward from the central
plains, strengthening as it combines with yet another low traveling across
the north central U.S. by Tuesday. As this system pushes northeastward and
continues to gain strength, expect rain and thunderstorm chances to expand
northward throughout much of the Tennessee and Ohio River Valleys Monday
through Tuesday. Snow and ice will also spread northward into the Upper
Mississippi River Valley, Great Lakes region, and portions of the
Northeast by Tuesday as well.
