Rain will develop and move northward across the Southeast into the southern Mid-Atlantic as an area of low pressure organizes over the Gulf of Mexico. Rain may be heavy at times across Georgia and the Carolinas. Sub-freezing temperatures in the lower levels of the atmosphere will produce a wintry mix across parts of the North Carolina Piedmont and the southern Appalachians Tuesday morning.

As a upper level disturbance moves across the Ohio Valley, light precipitation will extend through the Mid-Atlantic later Tuesday, with light snows developing from the central Appalachians to the northern Mid-Atlantic.

An area of low pressure well off of the Pacific Northwest coast will weaken over the next couple of days as it is driven eastward by a stronger system making its way across the eastern Pacific. Light rains and snows will move across the Pacific Northwest and northern California into the northern Intermountain region.
