A tough, challenging Winter pattern ahead

During the early to middle part of next week, another strong surge of cold air will engulf much of the nation. Cold weather will be especially prominent across the Plains and the northern U.S., with lingering mild conditions expected in Florida and the Southwest. Several waves of wintry precipitation will affect the northern half of the nation, starting Friday in the Northwest. During the weekend and early next week, snow will spread across the northern Plains, Midwest, and Northeast. From the middle and lower Mississippi Valley eastward, rain showers can be expected early next week. Farther west, wintry precipitation will return to areas from northern California to the Intermountain West.

Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of below-normal temperatures and above-normal precipitation across the majority of the country. Warmer-than-normal weather will confined to Florida’s peninsula and the Southwest, while drier-than-normal conditions should be limited to the south-central U.S.
