A stormy winter pattern for much of the Heartland

A complex storm system currently centered over Texas will drift northeastward, crossing the Tennessee Valley on Wednesday and reaching northern New England by Friday. The storm will be accompanied by a large temperature gradient, with cold air to the north and west contributing to a band of wintry precipitation—mostly snow—from the southern Plains to northern New England.

Meanwhile, a heavy-rain event will unfold across the Southeastern and Mid-Atlantic States, where 2- to 5-inch totals can be expected. Farther west, mid- to late-week precipitation will be occasionally heavy from the Pacific Northwest to the northern Rockies.

In contrast, mostly dry weather will prevail during the next 5 days from California to Arizona and in much of the upper Midwest.

Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of below-normal temperatures along and northwest of a line from northern Texas to Minnesota, while warmer-than-normal weather should prevail across the South, East, and lower Midwest.

Meanwhile, below-normal precipitation in northern and central California, the Pacific Northwest, and parts of Florida will contrast with wetter-than-normal conditions in most other areas, including the Southwest, Plains, and Midwest.
