An early Spring-like pattern this week

During the first half of the week, widespread precipitation will occur across from the Mississippi Valley eastward. Accumulating snow should be limited to the upper Great Lakes region, while rainfall could total 1 to 3 inches from the lower Great Lakes region southward to the central Gulf Coast. Locally severe thunderstorms may accompany the rain, especially across the mid-South. Meanwhile, a cold weather pattern in the western U.S. will begin to break down, with above-normal temperatures returning to the Southwest late in the week. Prior to the transition, early- to mid-week precipitation could total 1 to 3 inches in parts of the Southwest. Following Monday’s showers, dry weather should prevail for the remainder of the week in northern and central California. Elsewhere, mostly dry weather should continue through the end of the week across the central and southern Plains.

Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of near- to above-normal temperatures nationwide, except for colder-than-normal conditions in New England and the Northwest. Meanwhile, below-normal precipitation from California into the middle Mississippi Valley will contrast with wetter-than-normal weather along and near the Gulf Coast and across the nation’s northern tier.
