...Major winter storm will affect the East Coast...
It continues feeling like winter across much of the country, despite it
being mid-March. A large surface high pressure ridge sinking southward
from Canada to the central U.S. will keep the January-like temperatures
around through the middle of the work week. Afternoon highs are expected
to be on the order of 15 to 30 degrees below normal from the northern
Plains to the Mid-Atlantic region, with the possibility of some record low
maximum temperatures in the Mid Atlantic and Northeast by midweek.
Numerous freeze warnings are currently in effect for much of the Mid
Mississippi Valley and extending eastward to Kentucky and Tennessee.
The big thing making weather headlines through Wednesday morning will be
the rapidly intensifying nor'easter that is currently near the
Mid-Atlantic coast. A major winter storm is unfolding across interior
portions of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast U.S. Winter storm warnings are
in effect from eastern West Virginia to Maine, and blizzard warnings from
eastern Pennsylvania to southwest Maine. Snowfall amounts in excess of a
foot are likely inland along with strong and gusty winds. High winds and
tidal flooding are going to be an issue for coastal areas north of the
Outer Banks. Conditions should improve for most areas by Wednesday
afternoon once the storm departs the region.
Elsewhere across the continental U.S., expect warm conditions to continue
across the southwestern U.S. with no rain or snow in the forecast. The
lower elevations of the Desert Southwest could even reach the lower 90s
for highs over the next few days with an upper level ridge in place.
Onshore flow across the Pacific Northwest will keep scattered showers
around, with snow in the Cascades and northern Rockies.
