...Many daily temperature records may be broken from the Great Plains into
the Ohio Valley and Mid-Atlantic region due to anomalous warmth...
...Heavy snow is possible across the Wasatch and into the Central
Rockies...
...Increasingly wet conditions likely for the state of Florida...
A robust upper-level low and associated surface frontal system, tracking
across the eastern Gulf of Mexico and southern Florida, will keep showers
and thunderstorms in the forecast for portions of the Southeast through
Thursday. Much of the state of Florida could see accumulations around 1
inch-- isolated higher amounts will be possible.
Over the next few days a broad upper-level trough will be in place over
the West which will keep a cooler, more moist airmass over the region. A
cold front exiting out of the Rockies and into the High Plains and Upper
Midwest today will continue on its way through the central U.S. By
Thursday the sprawling boundary will span from the Desert Southwest to the
Great Lakes/Northeast. Widespread precipitation is forecast from the
continental divide eastward to the Great Lakes/Ohio valley through early
Saturday morning. The better chance for snowfall accumulations will be
from the Wasatch eastward into the Central Rockies where amounts of up to
12 to 18 inches are possible in the highest elevations. Amounts in the
adjacent High Plains are forecast to be 4 to 8 inches. Winter Storm
Watches are in effect from Wyoming to Wisconsin. Winter Weather Advisories
are in effect for portions of Utah, Idaho and Montana.
Additionally, strong gusty winds will accompany this system as it crosses
into the Plains. The influx of drier air will increase the threat for
wildfires. Red flag warnings are in effect for eastern New Mexico and
Colorado. Currently the Southern/Central High Plains are at a critical
risk for such activity based on the latest Storm Prediction Center fire
weather outlook.
Mild temperatures are forecast to continue through the end of week.
Forecast temperatures from the center of the country eastward into the
Upper Great Lakes/Middle Mississippi Valley are approximately 20 to 30
degrees above average. Consequently, many daily temperature records may be
reached or exceeded across the region.
