...Heavy rain likely for southern California...
...Quieter weather pattern is expected over most of the nation...
Nearly continuous onshore flow will keep California and portions of the
Pacific Northwest in a very active, wet pattern this weekend. Rain and
mountain snow is forecast for much of the western U.S. as a deep
upper-level low and associated surface cold front pushes inland.
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. Intense rainfall, especially over areas with steep terrain or
with recent burn scars, may lead to rapid runoff; resulting in flash
flooding and/or mudslides/debris flows. Rivers and streams may also rise
quickly in response to the significant rainfall. Additionally, warming
temperatures could speed up snow melt across the region.
Showers and a few thunderstorms will be possible across portions of the
Lower Mississippi valley and Gulf Coast through the weekend with
southerly flow from the Gulf. The higher elevations of New England could
have snow Saturday morning as front moves through the area-- with a rain
snow mix during the afternoon and evening hours. Light snow will linger
into Sunday in the wake of the frontal passage. Otherwise, mild and dry
conditions expected across most of the central and eastern U.S. this
weekend.
