...Strong storm system to affect the central and eastern U.S. through
Saturday...
Much of the nation east of the Mississippi River will continue to observe
unseasonably warm temperatures through Friday. This is courtesy of an
upper level ridge and a strong surge of warm moist air from the Gulf of
Mexico ahead of an approaching cold front. Forecast highs ranging from 15
to 30 degrees above February averages will be possible from the Deep South
to southern New England on Friday. Some locations could easily achieve
record highs before the front exits the coast this weekend, with readings
into the low to mid 80s for some areas across the southeast states.
A strong winter storm will track from the Rockies to the Upper Midwest
through Saturday. A surface low continues to gain strength as it moves
across the Midwest today, and reaches Lake Huron by Saturday morning. A
band of heavy snow is expected north of the surface low from northern Iowa
to northern Michigan, where both blizzard and winter storm warnings are
currently in effect. Some areas could get 8 to 12 inches of snow before
the event ends by Friday night. In the warm sector of this storm system,
showers and thunderstorms are expected Friday and Friday night from the
Ohio Valley to the Mid-Atlantic region. Severe thunderstorms are likely
on Friday across portions of the Ohio valley and southern Great Lakes,
owing to favorable shear and instability. The Storm Prediction Center has
additional details on that.
Elsewhere across the continental U.S., expect light to moderate rain to
return to the West Coast as a couple of disturbances pass through the
region. Scattered snow showers are likely for the central and northern
Rockies through Saturday with mainly light amounts expected. The Desert
Southwest and the southern Plains should remain sunny to partly cloudy.
