Pattern to remain active across the Nation
The latest Pacific storm train will remain active, with significant weather systems reaches the West Coast Friday and again Sunday. Five-day precipitation totals could reach 4 to 10 inches in coastal and mountain sections of California and 2 to 5 inches in parts of the Southwest. Very heavy snow will fall from the Sierra Nevada into higher elevations of the Four Corners States. The Pacific storms will generally drift eastward, resulting in periods of heavy rain in the Southeast. In fact, 5-day totals of 2 to 6 inches—all rain—can be expected from the central Gulf Coast region into the Southeastern and Mid-Atlantic States. Meanwhile, little or no precipitation should occur into early next week across the Great Plains. Elsewhere, generally cool weather in the West will contrast with above-normal temperatures from the Plains to the East Coast.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of above-normal temperatures across the eastern half of the U.S., while colder-than-normal conditions should stretch from the Pacific Coast to the High Plains. Meanwhile, above-normal precipitation from the Four Corners region into the Great Lakes and Northeastern States will contrast with drier-than-normal weather in northern California, the Northwest, and from Texas to the Mississippi Delta.
