...Heavy rain and flooding possible over parts of the Pacific Northwest
and Northern California...
...A wintry mix of snow, rain, and ice is also expected across inland
portions of the Pacific Northwest...
...Heavy snow possible across the Colorado Rockies today...
...A potential for severe thunderstorms over the Eastern Gulf Coast
today...
...Heavy snow will occur across portions of New England tonight and
Thursday...
Yet another strong low pressure system will move towards the Pacific
Northwest over the next few days. This will bring another surge of
moisture to much of the region, which has already been heavily impacted by
heavy rains and high snow amounts. More heavy rain is expected across much
of northern California and coastal regions of Washington and Oregon
starting this afternoon. Rainfall amounts of 2 to 6 inches are expected in
these regions. Furthermore, warmer temperatures will cause melting of
large amounts of snow, which will lead to flooding concerns. Flood
warnings and watches are in effect for much of northern California,
Oregon, and even northern Nevada and southern Idaho. Along the northern
periphery of this system, a wintry mix of snow, rain, and ice is expected,
with Winter Storm Warnings and Watches stretching from Washington to
western Montana.
A continuation of the previous low pressure system to move through the
Pacific Northwest will make its way into the Rockies today, bringing
another round of heavy snow to this region. Locally, up to 2 feet of snow
is expected through this evening in the highest terrain.
An active pattern will also remain in place across the eastern U.S. A
strong low pressure system will continue to push northeast of the Great
Lakes Region and New England throughout the day, with a cold front
expected to sweep through much of Southeast U.S. through tonight. A
secondary low will develop along this front tonight, increasing the surge
of moisture inland along the Atlantic Coast. Much of the southeast and Mid
Atlantic will see heavy rains and thunderstorms today and tonight, with
portions of the Eastern Gulf Coast currently under a Marginal to Slight
Risk Area from the Storm Prediction Center. Behind the front, colder air
will interact with the precipitation. Much of the Great Lakes region will
see snow today, transitioning across the Northeast Thursday as the
secondary system increases in strength. A transition zone between the rain
and snow will result in a wintry mix of rain, snow and ice across portions
of the northern Ohio Valley and northern Mid Atlantic Regions during this
time.
Meanwhile, a surge of warm air will encompass much of the Gulf Coast and
Atlantic Coast ahead of the approaching cold front today. This could once
again lead to many locations near the coast reaching or possibly even
exceeding either record high minimum temperatures, or record high maximum
temperatures for the 8th of February.
