VALID 12Z SUN MAR 10 2024 - 12Z TUE MAR 12 2024
...LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS ARE EXPECTED TO SWEEP ACROSS COASTAL NEW
ENGLAND EARLY TODAY WITH GUSTY WINDS...
...HEAVY WET SNOW AND STRONG WINDS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS NORTHERN
NEW ENGLAND THROUGH TODAY FOLLOWED BY LAKE-EFFECT SNOWS ACROSS THE
LOWER GREAT LAKES INTO MONDAY MORNING...
...UNSETTLED WEATHER IS EXPECTED TO PERSIST ACROSS THE PACIFIC
NORTHWEST AND INTO THE NORTHERN ROCKIES WITH MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF
LOWER-ELEVATION RAIN AND HIGHER ELEVATION SNOW...
AN INTENSIFYING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM THAT BROUGHT ANOTHER ROUND OF
MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN ACROSS THE NORTHERN MID-ATLANTIC TO NEW
ENGLAND SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK
NORTHEAST THROUGH COASTAL NEW ENGLAND. COLDER AIR WRAPPING AROUND
THE EXPANDING STORM WILL SUPPORT HEAVY WET SNOW TODAY ACROSS
NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND, ESPECIALLY OVER THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF
UPSTATE NEW YORK, VERMONT, NEW HAMPSHIRE AND MAINE WHERE WINTER
STORM WARNINGS ARE IN EFFECT. AS MUCH AS 6 TO 12 INCHES OF HEAVY
WET SNOW CAN BE EXPECTED IN THESE AREAS ALONG WITH INCREASINGLY
STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS. MEANWHILE, MUCH OF THE EAST COAST WILL BE
DRYING OUT TODAY AFTER YESTERDAY'S RAINFALL BUT BLUSTERY WINDS
FROM THE NORTHWEST WILL USHER IN CHILLY AIR. THE COLD AIR PASSING
OVER THE RELATIVELY WARM WATERS OF THE GREAT LAKES WILL PROMOTE
LAKE-EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS AND LOCALIZED SNOW SQUALLS DOWNWIND FROM
THE LOWER GREAT LAKES TOWARD THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS TODAY. THE
SNOW SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED TO LINGER INTO MONDAY BUT THEY WILL
GRADUALLY TAPER OFF AS THE HUGE STORM WILL TAKE SOME TIME TO MOVE
FARTHER AWAY INTO THE CANADIAN MARITIMES.
IN THE WAKE OF THE HUGE STORM CIRCULATION, A LARGE HIGH PRESSURE
SYSTEM WILL TAKE OVER AND PROVIDE A FEW DAYS OF TRANQUIL AND DRY
WEATHER FROM THE FOUR CORNERS EASTWARD THROUGH THE GREAT PLAINS
AND FOR THE ENTIRE EASTERN U.S. COOL AND DRY WEATHER WILL PREVAIL
ACROSS THE SOUTH AND THE SOUTHEAST INCLUDING FLORIDA. A WARMING
TREND WILL SET IN ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS TODAY AS SOUTHERLY
WINDS AND DOWNSLOPE FLOW HELP EXPANDING THE WARMTH EASTWARD INTO
THE UPPER MIDWEST BY TUESDAY WHEN SOME DAILY RECORD HIGH
TEMPERATURES ARE POSSIBLE.
MEANWHILE ACROSS THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST, MULTIPLE LOW PRESSURE
SYSTEMS ARRIVING FROM THE PACIFIC WILL BRING FREQUENT ROUNDS OF
PRECIPITATION ONSHORE AND THEN FARTHER INLAND THROUGH THE NEXT
COUPLE OF DAYS. MODERATE TO LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN IS EXPECTED FOR
THE COASTAL RANGES WITH HEAVY SNOW OVER THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF
THE CASCADES, NORTHERN SIERRA NEVADA, AND THE SAWTOOTH AND
BITTERROOT RANGE OF THE NORTHERN ROCKIES. THE HEAVIEST SNOWS
SHOULD BE OVER THE WASHINGTON CASCADES GOING THROUGH MONDAY WHERE
1 TO 2 FEET OF NEW SNOW CAN BE EXPECTED.
