A STALLED OUT SURFACE FRONT ALONG THE SOUTHEAST COAST WILL BE THE

THERE ARE SLIGHT RISKS (AT LEAST 15%) OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL
LEADING TO FLASH FLOODING OVER PARTS OF EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA AND
SOUTHEAST GEORGIA/NORTHERN FLORIDA TODAY, WHERE AREAS OF SURFACE
LOW PRESSURE ALONG THE STATIONARY FRONT MAY ENHANCE RAINFALL
RATES/TOTALS. THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS ONLY A MARGINAL RISK
(LEVEL 1/5) OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ALONG THE SOUTHEAST COAST
TODAY. RAIN SHOWERS SHOULD DEVELOP ALONG THE MID-ATLANTIC AND
NORTHEAST COASTS TODAY ALONG AND AHEAD OF A NORTHERN STREAM COLD
FRONT. THERE'S A SLIGHT RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL FOR PORTIONS OF
SOUTHEASTERN VIRGINIA INTO NORTHEASTERN NORTH CAROLINA ON THURSDAY
MORNING, RIGHT BEFORE THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED
PRECIPITATION PUSH OFF INTO THE ATLANTIC. SHOWERS CONTINUE ALONG
THE NORTHEAST COAST ON THURSDAY WITH SOME POTENTIAL SNOW SHOWERS
DEVELOPING OVER INTERIOR PORTIONS OF NEW ENGLAND. COASTAL LOW
DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE NEW ENGLAND COAST COULD ALSO SUPPORT SOME
ENHANCED RAIN TOTALS FOR SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND, IN PARTICULAR, BY
FRIDAY MORNING.
OUT WEST, A PERIOD OF RAINY/SNOWY WEATHER WILL ENSUE ACROSS THE
NORTHWEST TODAY. PRECIPITATION WILL SPREAD ACROSS THE PACIFIC
NORTHWEST THIS MORNING THEN INTO NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AND THE

IS POSSIBLE OVER PARTS OF THE CASCADES, SIERRA NEVADA AND NORTHERN
ROCKIES; WHERE BETWEEN 1-2 FEET OF SNOW MAY ACCUMULATE BY FRIDAY
MORNING. ELSEWHERE, TROUGHING ALONG THE LEE OF THE ROCKIES WILL
PROMOTE SOUTHERLY FLOW INTO THE GREAT PLAINS BEGINNING THURSDAY.
THIS PATTERN WILL SUPPORT ABOVE AVERAGE TEMPERATURES FROM THE
CENTRAL/SOUTHERN PLAINS INTO THE MIDWEST THROUGH THE WEEKEND.
