...RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS FORECAST ACROSS THE NORTHEAST, GREAT
LAKES, AND PACIFIC NORTHWEST OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS...
...WELL BELOW AVERAGE TEMPERATURES TO CHILL MUCH OF THE CENTRAL
AND EASTERN UNITED STATES...
...SUMMER-LIKE WARMTH CONTINUES OVER PARTS OF SOUTHEAST TEXAS, THE
NORTHERN ROCKIES, AND NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS...
A RELATIVELY QUIET WEATHER PATTERN IS ANTICIPATED TO REMAIN OVER
THE LOWER 48 THROUGH MIDWEEK AS A LARGE AND DOMINANT HIGH PRESSURE
SYSTEM BUILDS INTO THE NATION'S HEARTLAND. UNSETTLED WEATHER IS
FORECAST TO OCCUR ON THE PERIPHERY OF THIS HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM,
WHICH INCLUDES THE NORTHEAST AND GREAT LAKES, AS WELL AS THE
NORTHWEST. FOR THE NORTHEAST, RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS WILL BE
ASSOCIATED WITH A DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM ORGANIZING NEAR
THE NEW ENGLAND COASTLINE TODAY BEFORE RACING NORTHWARD INTO
EASTERN CANADA. STRONG GUSTY NORTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL LEAD TO
FAVORABLE UPSLOPE PRECIPITATION ACROSS THE ADIRONDACKS, CENTRAL
APPALACHIANS, AND NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND RANGES, AS WELL AS LAKE
EFFECT SHOWERS OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. MEASURABLE SNOWFALL IS MOST
LIKELY IN THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS OF NORTHERN NEW YORK, VERMONT, AND
NEW HAMPSHIRE. MEANWHILE, A PAIR OF COLD FRONTS MARCHING THROUGH
THE NORTHWEST WILL OFFER LIGHT TO MODERATE PRECIPITATION CHANCES
INTO THE NORTHERN GREAT BASIN BY MIDWEEK, WITH SNOW LIKELY IN THE
CASCADES.
THE AFOREMENTIONED POTENT HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL ALSO USHER IN
A CRISP AUTUMN AIRMASS INTO MUCH OF THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN U.S.
THROUGH MIDWEEK AS HIGHS ONLY REACH THE 50S AND 60S FOR MOST
LOCATIONS. WIDESPREAD LOW TEMPERATURES WILL ALSO DIP BELOW AVERAGE
FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR AND INTO THE 30S, CREATING THE POTENTIAL FOR
SOME PLACES TO SEE THEIR FIRST FROST OR FREEZE OF THIS FALL
SEASON. THIS COOL WEATHER WILL BE FAR-REACHING AND REACH THE GULF
COAST AND EVEN NORTHERN FLORIDA BY WEDNESDAY, ALBEIT WITH SLIGHTLY
WARMER TEMPERATURES COMPARED TO NORTHERN AREAS.
SUMMER-LIKE WARMTH IS SET TO CONTINUE FOR PARTS OF CENTRAL AND
SOUTHEAST TEXAS OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS IN ADVANCE OF THE
SINKING COLD FRONT AS HIGH TEMPERATURES RISE INTO THE MID-90S.
THESE READINGS COULD BREAK A FEW DAILY HIGH TEMPERATURE RECORDS,
INCLUDING FOR CITIES SUCH AS HOUSTON, AUSTIN, SAN ANTONIO, AND
CORPUS CHRISTI. BROAD SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL ALSO ALLOW FOR WARMER
TEMPERATURES THROUGHOUT THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST, NORTHERN ROCKIES,
AND NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS. HIGHS INTO THE 70S AND 80S WILL BE
WIDESPREAD, WHICH EQUATES TO AROUND 15-20 DEGREES ABOVE AVERAGE.
