A subtle northward shift in the Pacific storm track should bring relief to areas in southern California where extensive flooding occurred on January 9-10.  However, a continuation of periodically heavy precipitation in northern and central California could lead to additional flooding.  Parts of the Northwest, especially from the Cascades westward, will experience increasing precipitation intensity.  Farther east, much of the nation’s mid-section will remain dry during the next 5 days.  However, a fast-moving disturbance should produce some beneficial rain and snow across the central Plains and parts of the Midwest Corn Belt, ending Thursday.  That disturbance will intensify over the eastern one-third of the U.S., with late-week snow expected from the lower Great Lakes region into northern New England.  Additionally, showers and thunderstorms will sweep across the South on January 12-13.
