VALID 12Z SUN NOV 03 2024 - 12Z TUE NOV 05 2024  
 
...ANOTHER DAY OF HEAVY RAIN AND SEVERE WEATHER EXPECTED ACROSS  
THE CENTRAL U.S. BEFORE SHIFTING EAST INTO THE ARKLATEX,  
MID-MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND MIDWEST BY MONDAY NIGHT...  
 
...MOUNTAIN SNOW MOVING ACROSS THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST AND ROCKIES  
TODAY WILL BEGIN TO TAPER OFF ON MONDAY AS THE NEXT ROUND OF  
MOUNTAIN SNOW AND WIND QUICKLY OVERSPREADS THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST  
ON MONDAY...  
 
...ABOVE AVERAGE TEMPERATURES APPROACHING RECORD LEVELS WILL SHIFT  
EAST FROM THE PLAINS TODAY TOWARDS THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY BY  
MONDAY WITH NO RAIN IN SIGHT ALONG THE EAST COAST...  
 
THE ONGOING ACTIVE WEATHER SYSTEM OVER THE SOUTH-CENTRAL U.S. WILL  
CONTINUE TO TRIGGER ADDITIONAL ROUNDS OF HEAVY RAIN AND SEVERE  
WEATHER FOR THE REMAINDER OF TODAY, WITH THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL  
EXPECTED TO IMPACT CENTRAL TO EASTERN OKLAHOMA INTO PORTIONS OF  
NORTHWESTERN ARKANSAS AND SOUTHERN MISSOURI. MORE ENERGY EJECTING  
FROM THE UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH CURRENTLY SPREADING MOUNTAIN SNOW  
ACROSS THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST WILL EVENTUALLY CONSOLIDATE A LOW  
PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS BY TONIGHT. THIS LOW  
PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL TRACK NORTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS  
FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM TO DEVELOP OVER THE  
SOUTH-CENTRAL PLAINS ON MONDAY. THIS SECOND SYSTEM SYSTEM IS  
FORECAST TO PUSH A COLD FRONT FARTHER EASTWARD MONDAY NIGHT,  
ENDING THE HEAVY RAIN THREAT ACROSS OKLAHOMA BUT SHIFTING THE  
HEAVY RAIN AND SEVERE WEATHER THREAT INTO THE ARKLATEX REGION,  
MID-MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND MIDWEST BY MONDAY NIGHT.  
 
THE UPPER TROUGH WILL USHER COLDER THAN NORMAL TEMPERATURES  
THROUGH MUCH OF THE WESTERN U.S. FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS WITH  
MOUNTAIN SNOW PASSING THROUGH THE INTERMOUNTAIN REGION TODAY,  
FOLLOWED BY THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN ROCKIES ON MONDAY.  
MEANWHILE, A RATHER STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM FROM THE PACIFIC  
OCEAN WILL QUICKLY SPREAD THE NEXT ROUND OF COASTAL RAIN INTO THE  
PACIFIC NORTHWEST ON MONDAY FOLLOWED BY A GOOD DOSE OF MOUNTAIN  
SNOW FARTHER INLAND ALONG WITH QUITE A BIT OF WIND. THE MOUNTAIN  
SNOW WILL REACH INTO THE NORTHERN ROCKIES MONDAY NIGHT INTO  
TUESDAY MORNING AS THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM REDEVELOPS OVER THE  
NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS. THE GREATEST CHANCES (>80%) FOR OVER 8  
INCHES OF SNOWFALL IN A 24-HOUR PERIOD IS FORECAST OVER THE  
NORTHERN CASCADES ON MONDAY. BE SURE TO PREPARE FOR WINTER  
DRIVING CONDITIONS IF TRAVELING THROUGHOUT THESE ELEVATED MOUNTAIN  
RANGES AND STAY TUNED TO THE LATEST LOCAL WEATHER FORECAST.  
 
WARMER AND MOSTLY DRY CONDITIONS WILL BE FELT EAST OF THE  
MISSISSIPPI RIVER THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK, BESIDES RAIN CHANCES  
ENTERING PARTS OF THE MIDWEST AND GREAT LAKES. A LARGE HIGH  
PRESSURE SYSTEM CENTERED OVER THE GREAT LAKES IS FORECAST TO SLIDE  
EASTWARD AND OFF THE NEW ENGLAND COASTLINE BY MONDAY, USHERING IN  
WARM SOUTHERLY FLOW ON THE WESTERN PERIPHERY. THIS WILL SUPPORT  
WIDESPREAD ABOVE AVERAGE HIGH TEMPERATURES INTO THE UPPER 60S AND  
70S FROM THE CENTRAL/SOUTHERN PLAINS TO THE MID-ATLANTIC BY  
MONDAY, WITH 80S ALONG THE GULF COAST STATES. WHEN COMPARED TO  
EARLY NOVEMBER CLIMATOLOGY, THE MIDWEST IS EXPECTED TO EXPERIENCE  
TEMPERATURES WELL ABOVE AVERAGE ON MONDAY. THE ANOMALOUS WARMTH  
WILL THEN SPREAD ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY INTO THE GREAT LAKES BY  
MONDAY NIGHT INTO EARLY TUESDAY AS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AHEAD  
OF THE COLD FRONT REACH INTO THE MIDWEST.
