Winter storm potential for the Plains, upper Midwest

A gradual warming trend will continue through the weekend across the South, East, and Midwest. Meanwhile, a storm system emerging from the western U.S. will produce significant snow across portions of the Intermountain West and Rockies, as well as the northern and central Plains and the upper Midwest. During the weekend, showers and thunderstorms will erupt across the mid-South and environs. By early next week, heavy precipitation (rain and snow) will spread across the Northeast. Elsewhere, 5-day precipitation totals could reach 4 to 8 inches in the Pacific Northwest, but dry weather will persist on the southern High Plains.

Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of below-normal temperatures from the Pacific Northwest to the northern High Plains, while warmer-than-normal weather will cover much of the eastern half of the U.S. Meanwhile, above-normal precipitation across the North and throughout the eastern half of the country should contrast with drier-than-normal conditions from southern California to the southern half of the High Plains.
