155 AM EST SAT NOV 07 2009
VALID 12Z SAT NOV 07 2009 - 00Z MON NOV 09 2009
THE NORTHWESTERN U.S. WILL HAVE A WET WEEKEND THANKS TO A TRAIN OF
MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVES TRAILING THE MAIN FRONTAL SYSTEM CURRENTLY
LOCATED OVER THE CENTER OF THE COUNTRY. ABUNDANT MOISTURE FROM
WESTERLY FLOW OFF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST WILL BRING RAIN SHOWERS TO
THE MAJORITY OF THE REGION...WITH SNOW SHOWERS POSSIBLE IN THE
HIGHER TERRAIN. WITH ANOTHER FRONTAL SYSTEM APPROACHING THE
PACIFIC NORTHWEST COAST AS MONDAY APPROACHES...THIS REGION IS NOT
EXPECTED TO CATCH A BREAK FROM THE PRECIPITATION.
FOR THE MOST PART THE REST OF THE COUNTRY WILL REMAIN
PRECIPITATION FREE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SOME LIGHT PRECIPITATION
OVER THE NORTH CENTRAL U.S. LIGHT PRECIPITATION MAY FALL IN
ASSOCIATION WITH THE FRONTAL SYSTEM MOVING INTO THE UPPER
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY THIS MORNING. SCATTERED RAIN SHOWERS WILL BE
POSSIBLE IN THE GREAT LAKES REGION THROUGH SUNDAY
AFTERNOON...MOVING INTO THE NEW ENGLAND STATES TO WRAP UP THE
WEEKEND. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL DROP BY AS MANY AS 12 DEGREES
BEHIND THIS FRONT.
