...Lake effect snow showers are expected across the Upper Great Lakes over
the next several days...
...Another round of heavy snow is possible for the Northern Rockies and
Northern Plains over the next couple of days...
...Heavy rain possible over parts of the Pacific Northwest...
The potent cold front that impacted much of the eastern half of the U.S.
will exit eastward into the Atlantic and southward into the Gulf of Mexico
today. Rain showers will be possible along the coast through this morning,
coming to an end throughout the day. Florida and Southeast Texas may see
continued shower and thunderstorm chances as the cold front continues to
impact these locations.
A reinforcing cold front will continue the surge of much colder air across
the north central U.S. Northwest flow will lead to snow showers downwind
of the Upper Great Lakes over the next several days, and in the lower
Great Lakes. As the cold front quickly sinks to the southeast over the
next several days, it will begin interacting with moist flow from the Gulf
of Mexico. This will lead to scattered showers and thunderstorms
developing ahead of the frontal boundary by Thursday, occupying the
Southern Plains and the Lower Mississippi Valley, then spreading eastward
Thursday night. Meanwhile, portions of New England could see precipitation
in the form of scattered snow showers Thursday night into Friday.
A series of low pressure systems are poised to impact the Pacific
Northwest over the next few days. The system that moved inland yesterday
will propagate across the Northern Rockies and into the Northern Plains
today, as another low pressure system makes landfall overnight. Yet
another strengthening system is set to reach the coast by Thursday
night/Friday morning. The string of systems will leave a frontal boundary
draped from west to east from the Pacific Northwest to the Northern
Rockies, and then southeast into the Northern Plains, shifting northward
through Friday. An associated plume of moisture will lead to rain along
the coastal regions, as well as for most locations south of the frontal
boundary. For the highest elevations of the Rockies, and areas north of
the boundary, snow is expected, expanding eastward into the Northern
Plains through Friday. Winter Storm Watches are in effect for portions of
the northern Rockies and Northern Plains for the upcoming snow threat.
There is also a risk of flooding across portions of the region as rain and
warmer temperatures lead to melting snow pack.
