Weather
The mild pattern to continue
A storm system crossing the Southeast will continue to produce locally heavy rain for the remainder of Monday. Showers will linger for several days in the southern Atlantic States. Meanwhile, disorganized storminess will gradually spread eastward from the Pacific Coast States and the Intermountain West, resulting in localized precipitation totals of 1 to 2 inches or more. Early-season snowfall will blanket several areas, mainly from the Sierra Nevada to the northern and central Rockies. Toward week’s end, precipitation will become more organized across the nation’s mid-section, with 1- to 3-inch totals possible from eastern Texas into the upper Great Lakes region. Late-season warmth will dominate the central and eastern U.S., but markedly colder air will overspread the West as the week progresses.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of near- to above normal temperatures nationwide, except for cooler-than-normal conditions in the Great Basin. Meanwhile, near- to below-normal precipitation in many areas of the U.S. will contrast with wetter-than-normal weather in the Pacific Northwest and from the Gulf Coast northward into the Ohio Valley and Mid-Atlantic States.
