Look for my special on weather models this weekend.
Unsettled weather continues for the West with locally heavy snowfall
possible for many of the local mountain ranges.
Wintry precipitation through tonight for the Northern Plains.
Above average temperatures for the eastern half of the nation through
Saturday, potentially record-breaking for some locations.
Upper level troughing will remain in place over the West for the next
couple of days, with several shortwaves rotating through and providing
support for precipitation across the region. Most of the higher elevations
of the regional mountain ranges will see some moderate to locally heavy
snowfall. The highest snow amounts are forecast to fall over the Four
Corners region today where probabilities are high (>70%) for greater than
12 inches of snow for parts of the Mogollon Rim and San Juan mountains.
Probabilities are also high (70%) for greater than 8 inches of snow in the
higher terrain of the Wasatch. Moderate impacts are expected in these
areas through Friday morning, and additional rounds of snow are forecast
through Saturday. In the lower elevations/valleys, precipitation will fall
mainly as a wintry mix or rain, and limited snowfall accumulations will be
possible in some areas. Temperatures in the West will be below average
through the weekend due to forecast precipitation and cloud cover, then
temperatures will return to near normal next week.
To the east, a low pressure system is slowly moving across the Upper
Midwest and will continue across the Great Lakes on Friday. This system
will continue to produce wintry precipitation across the northern Plains
through tonight, then snow will taper off from west to east early Friday
morning. Ahead of this system, showers and thunderstorms will spread into
the Great Lakes region and isolated severe thunderstorms will be possible
from eastern Iowa through southwestern parts of Lake Michigan. To the
south of the trailing cold front associated with this system, stagnant
southerly flow is funneling moisture from the Gulf of Mexico into the
southern United States. With ample moisture in place, showers and
thunderstorms will spread from the southern Plains to the Tennessee and
Ohio Valleys on Friday as the cold front approaches and precipitation will
expand into the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast on Saturday.
Temperatures will be well above average for the eastern half of the nation
through Saturday, with the highest anomalies reaching 25-35 degrees above
normal in the Midwest. Highs are forecast to reach the 40s and 50s in the
Upper Midwest and Great Lakes, and the 60s to near 70 in the Middle
Mississippi Valley. The highest anomalies will shift to the Mid-Atlantic
and Northeast on Saturday, and highs will range from the 40s in Maine to
the 60s and near 70 in the Virginia and North Carolina. High temperatures
will rival daily records in the Midwest, Great Lakes, and Mid-Atlantic
regions. Further South, highs will generally be in the 60s and 70s from
the Southern Plains into the Southeast.
