An extended early-season cold wave pattern to continue
A cold weather pattern will remain in place through week’s end across much of the country. Early next week, however, markedly warmer air will overspread the southern U.S. in advance of Pacific storminess and another strong Canadian cold front. During the next 5 days, the heaviest precipitation will fall across northern California and the Northwest, with some locations receiving as much as 2 to 8 inches. Farther east, snow squalls will continue for several days downwind of the Great Lakes. Later, a series of fast-moving storms will produce periods of snow, mainly across the northern half of the U.S. By early next week, rain showers may return to the Southeast.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of near- to below-normal temperatures nationwide, except for warmer-than-normal weather across Florida’s peninsula and from California into the Southwest. Meanwhile, below-normal precipitation in the south-central U.S. will contrast with wetter-than-normal weather throughout the northern and eastern U.S.
