...CLIPPER SYSTEM TO BRING SCATTERED RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS FROM
THE MIDWEST TO THE APPALACHIANS/INTERIOR NORTHEAST THROUGH THE
NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS...
...ANOTHER CLIPPER TO REACH THE UPPER GREAT LAKES ON THURSDAY WILL
LIKELY BRING LIGHT SNOWFALL...
...ABOVE TO WELL ABOVE AVERAGE TEMPERATURES EXPECTED TO PERSIST
FOR MOST OF THE COUNTRY...
AREAS OF LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL AND HIGH-ELEVATION SNOWFALL ACROSS
THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST WILL CONTINUE TO WIND DOWN THROUGH THIS
EVENING AS A PACIFIC CYCLONE DISSIPATES AFTER LANDFALL. LIGHT SNOW
FROM THE REMNANTS OF THE CYCLONE WILL LINGER A BIT LONGER ACROSS
THE NORTHERN ROCKIES INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING BEFORE TAPERING OFF BY
THE AFTERNOON. MEANWHILE, A PIECE OF THE UPPER-LEVEL ENERGY
ASSOCIATED WITH THE DISSIPATING CYCLONE WILL SPAWN A CLIPPER LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE NORTHERN ROCKIES AND ADVANCE IT QUICKLY
INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST TONIGHT, FOLLOWED BY THE LOWER GREAT LAKES
WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY. MAINLY LIGHT TO LOCALLY MODERATE AMOUNTS
OF PRECIPITATION ARE EXPECTED WITH THIS SYSTEM. AREAS FROM THE
LOWER GREAT LAKES TO NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND CAN EXPECT A FEW INCHES
OF SNOW FROM THIS SYSTEM WEDNESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY. THE
NEXT CLIPPER WILL THEN BRING A FEW INCHES OF SNOW ACROSS THE UPPER
GREAT LAKES ON THURSDAY. FARTHER SOUTH, A SWATH OF RAIN WITH A
FEW EMBEDDED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO FORM AHEAD OF A COLD
FRONT TRAILING SOUTHWEST FROM THE FIRST CLIPPER SYSTEM. THESE
ACTIVITIES ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY WEDNESDAY
NIGHT FOLLOWED BY THE APPALACHIANS ON THURSDAY. THE RAIN MAY SKIP
OVER THE INTERIOR SECTION OF THE MID-ATLANTIC BEFORE REACHING THE
EASTERN SEABOARD LATER IN THE AFTERNOON ON THURSDAY.
MUCH OF THE REST OF THE COUNTRY WILL ENTER A PERIOD OF DRY WEATHER
WITH ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES THROUGH THE NEXT FEW DAYS, WITH
HIGHS UPWARDS OF 10-20 DEGREES ABOVE AVERAGE FOR MANY LOCATIONS.
THE INTERIOR PACIFIC NORTHWEST AND THE ROCKIES WILL BE THE
EXCEPTION WITH SLIGHTLY BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES. THE WARMEST
LOCATIONS WILL BE IN THE DESERT SOUTHWEST WHERE HIGH TEMPERATURES
COULD REACH 90 DEGREES AGAIN WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.
