A shift to colder east of the Great Plains
Over the next few days, rain and snow showers will push eastward across the Northwest into the upper Mississippi Valley as low pressure redevelops over the western Great Lakes. Precipitation will return to parts of the Northeast by mid-week. Meanwhile, high pressure dropping in from the Canadian Prairies will bring colder weather to the Nation’s mid-section, with nighttime lows expected to fall below freezing over much of the Deep South by Thursday. In contrast, mild, mostly dry weather will continue over California and the Southwest, with little to no precipitation expected for the remainder of the week.
Looking ahead, the 6-10 day outlook depicts above-normal temperatures in the western half of the Nation, with the highest likelihood of warm weather in California and the Great Basin. Below-normal temperatures are forecast east of the Great Plains, in particular the Atlantic Seaboard. Near- to below-normal precipitation is expected throughout much of the West and South, although wet conditions could develop in the middle Rio Grande Valley. Above-normal precipitation is also forecast from the northern Rockies eastward through the Great Lakes Region.
