The Weather Man Podcast, I talk about weather!

Heavy rain with life threatening flash flooding will continue for
Southern California into Tuesday.
Heavy Snow to impact the major mountain ranges from the Sierra Nevada
to the Central Rockies through mid-week.
Temperatures will continue to run well above average from the Great
Plains to the Appalachians with record breaking warmth for parts of the
Upper Midwest.
A slow moving and relatively narrow axis of anomalous moisture will
continue to focus across Southern California over the next 12 to 24 hours,
maintaining a significant threat for life threatening flash flooding
across the Transverse Ranges and adjacent locations. Areas of moderate to
heavy rain are expected to remain in place near a cold front crossing the
southern coast of California, just ahead of an upper level trough axis.
Additional rainfall totals through Tuesday of 1-3 inches are expected for
the urban corridor from Los Angeles to San Diego and into the foothills of
the Transverse Ranges, with locally higher rainfall totals in areas of
higher terrain. This will fall on top of the 5 to 10+ inches of rain which
has impacted Southern California over the past 48 hours. Flooding of
streams and rivers along with mudslides are expected to remain a threat.
While rain will continue for Southern California on Tuesday, the intensity
is expected to be lighter than what occurred over the weekend as the storm
system moves east into the Desert Southwest, but the potential for flash
flooding and higher rainfall rates will expand into western Arizona,
southern Nevada and southwestern Utah.
Heavy snow and strong winds will continue to generate near impossible
travel conditions for elevations at/above 5000-7000 ft for southern
portions of the Sierra Nevada into the mountains of central Nevada. As the
upper trough and surface cold front shift eastward through mid week, heavy
snow will spread eastward into the higher elevations of Utah, Idaho,
Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico.
The central and eastern U.S. will remain fairly dry after a powerful storm
system exits from the Southeast into the western Atlantic tonight. Upper
level ridging over the central U.S. will continue anomalously warmth for
the Northern/Central Plains and Upper Midwest through Wednesday. High
temperatures in the 40s and low 50s are expected for the Upper Midwest on
Tuesday and Wednesday, 20-30 degrees above average. which will likely
break daily record high temperatures. Highs temperatures generally from
the Rockies to the Northeast will be above average and mild.
