Weather
A much colder pattern ahead from the Plains, eastward
A rapidly intensifying and potentially dangerous Atlantic coastal storm will produce heavy, wind-driven snow through Tuesday from the central Appalachians and northern Mid-Atlantic States into New England. Snowfall totals of a foot or more can be expected in many areas from Long Island into Maine. Meanwhile, a couple of disturbances will result in generally light precipitation across the nation’s southwestern quadrant, although 1- to 2-inch totals may occur in parts of Arizona and southwestern New Mexico. Farther north and east, unusual warmth will persist for much of the week across the nation’s mid-section. Early-week temperatures could approach 70° as far north as Montana’s High Plains. Elsewhere, little or no precipitation will occur through week’s end, except for mid- to late-week snow showers in the Great Lakes region and environs.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook for calls for above-normal temperatures from the Pacific Coast to the High Plains, while colder-than-normal conditions will dominate the South, East, and Midwest. Meanwhile, near- to above-normal precipitation across the majority of the U.S. will contrast with drier-than-normal weather from the Pacific Coast eastward across the Intermountain West to the central Plains.
