A cold, active winter weather pattern for the Heartland
Fast-moving weather disturbances will produce generally light precipitation in several areas of the country, including late-week and weekend snow across much of the northern U.S. However, dry weather can be expected during the next 5 days in much of the Southeast and from southern California to the southern High Plains. In contrast, several surges of Pacific moisture could result in 2- to 6-inch precipitation totals in parts of northern California and the Pacific Northwest. Totals of up to 1 to 3 inches may occur in the northern Rockies and northern Intermountain West. Meanwhile, cold weather will cover much of the country, except for a brief, late-week warm spell in the West. Cold conditions will be especially persistent on the northern Plains.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of colder-than-normal conditions across roughly the northern half of the U.S., while above-normal temperatures can be expected across the nation’s southern tier. Meanwhile, wetter-than-normal weather throughout the northern and eastern U.S. will contrast with below-normal precipitation across the southern Plains and parts of the Southwest.
