...Strong storm system to affect California and a quieter weather pattern
is expected over most of the nation...
Rain and mountain snow has now arrived to much of the western U.S. as a
Pacific cold front is making its way inland across the Pacific Northwest
and northern California. Heavy snow is likely for the higher elevations
of the Cascades and the northern Rockies through Friday as the moisture
moves inland.
The main weather event that will make headlines over the next few days
will be a rather strong low pressure system that is heading towards
California by Friday. This is associated with a deep upper level trough
that will generate an occluded surface low that is forecast to reach
central and southern California by Friday afternoon. Heavy rainfall is
expected for the coastal areas and the nearby mountains, with some
locations getting in excess of 4 inches of rainfall by Saturday morning as
a deep surge of subtropical moisture is directed towards the region.
Flash flooding will be possible given the amount of rain expected.
Elsewhere across the continental U.S., some lake effect snow can be
expected downwind of the Great Lakes from strong cold air advection behind
the departing nor'easter over eastern Canada. Sunny to partly cloudy
conditions are expected across much of the central and eastern U.S. over
the next few days as high pressure governs the overall weather pattern
there. Warmer conditions are also expected in time for the weekend for
many areas.
