...Major winter storm expected to hammer the Northeast U.S. and heavy rain
is likely over parts of Texas and the southern Rockies...
The surface low pressure system currently tracking eastward across the
Ohio Valley and Mid-Atlantic region is forecast to undergo rapid
intensification by Sunday night and into Monday once it exits the New
England coast. It will become a powerful nor'easter with blizzard
conditions expected for parts of Maine as the winds become quite strong.
Winter storm warnings are in effect from upstate New York to northern
Maine, where snowfall amounts of 8 to 16 inches are likely with locally
higher amounts. Coastal flooding could also be an issue for this region.
Given the strong pressure gradient that is expected to develop in the wake
of this storm, widespread windy conditions are expected as far west as the
central Appalachians and Mid-Atlantic region, where high wind bulletins
are already in effect for potential gusts in excess of 50 mph through
Monday morning.
Out West, rain and mountain snow will continue to fall across the
Southwest as a cold front drops southward, and a deep upper level low
moving across northern Mexico will keep conditions unsettled through
Sunday and into Monday. Periods of rain, heavy at times, and scattered
thunderstorms will develop ahead of the system across the lower elevations
of the southwest, moving into the Four Corners region by Sunday. Heavy
snowfall is forecast across the higher terrain of the central and southern
Rockies. Precipitation should spread into Oklahoma and Texas by Monday,
with an enhanced axis of heavy rain likely across west-central Texas where
1 to 3 inches of rain could fall.
