Weather
A wet, active pattern nationwide
Heavy precipitation will return to the Pacific Coast States, starting Tuesday in the Northwest and gradually spreading southward through California. Five-day precipitation totals could reach 4 to 12 inches in the Pacific Northwest and parts of northern California, and 2 to 4 inches in coastal southern California. Significant rain and high-elevation snow will also spread inland across the Intermountain West and Southwest. In contrast, little or no precipitation will occur through week’s end across the Great Plains and the upper Midwest. By mid-week, however, locally heavy rain will develop in the western Gulf Coast region and spread northeastward. Five-day totals of 2 to 4 inches can be expected across much of the South, while as much as an inch of precipitation could fall in the Northeast.
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 will cover the West. Meanwhile, wetter-than-normal weather across the majority of the country will contrast with below-normal precipitation in much of Texas and northern portions of Montana and New England.
