...A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND
SOUTHWARD THROUGH THE PLAINS, BRINGING RAIN CHANCES ACROSS THE
MIDWEST ON SATURDAY AND ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY TO TEXAS ON
SUNDAY...
..RAIN TO PERSIST OVER THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST FOR THE WEEKEND
...ABOVE AVERAGE WARMTH AND DRY CONDITIONS WILL BUILD IN ACROSS
THE WEST AS RIDGING BUILDS ACROSS THE REGION...
AN INTENSE CYCLONE APPROACHING OCTOBER LOW PRESSURE RECORDS FOR
NEW ENGLAND WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE AWAY FROM THE NEW ENGLAND REGION
TODAY. HOWEVER, THE STORM SYSTEM MAY YET BRING SOME TRICKS FOR
THOSE ON HALLOWEEN NIGHT. STRONG WINDS WILL BE HOWLING LIKE A
WEREWOLF ACROSS MOST OF THE NORTHEAST, WITH GUSTS IN THE 40-50 MPH
RANGE POSSIBLE AND REACHING WIND ADVISORY CRITERIA. FURTHERMORE,
IT WILL BE A FRIGHTENING CHILLY NIGHT ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST AS COLD
AIR ADVECTION CONTINUES TO FUNNEL DOWN BEHIND THE FRONT. LOW
TEMPERATURES IN THE MIDDLE 30S WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS MOST OF THE
EAST COAST AND AS FAR SOUTH AS NORTHERN FLORIDA. FREEZE WARNINGS
AND FROST ADVISORIES ARE IN EFFECT ACROSS AREAS IN THE SOUTH. LOW
TEMPERATURES SHOULD MODIFY SLIGHTLY FOR SUNDAY AND MONDAY MORNINGS
ACROSS THE EAST, BUT STAYING SEASONABLY COOL IN THE LOW 40S AND
SOME UPPER 30S. HIGH TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE SLIGHTLY BELOW AVERAGE
WITH THE AFTERNOON MERCURY HITTING THE 50S AND 60S. AS FOR
PRECIPITATION, A WEAK COLD FRONT LOOKS TO BRING CHANCES FOR RAIN
ACROSS THE MIDWEST TOMORROW AND THEN ACROSS THE TENNESSEE VALLEY
INTO THE CAROLINAS ON SUNDAY.
THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST WILL SEE THE HEAVIEST PRECIPITATION ACROSS
THE COUNTRY AS AN ATMOSPHERIC RIVER AND COLD FRONT MOVE ASHORE THE
WASHINGTON AND OREGON COASTLINES TONIGHT. THE COASTAL ZONES MAY
SEE RAINFALL ACCUMULATIONS IN THE 2-3 INCH RANGE AND AS MUCH AS
3-5 INCHES IN THE CASCADES AND OLYMPIC MOUNTAIN RANGES, PROMPTING
AN ISOLATED RISK OF FLASH FLOODING AND PERHAPS SOME RIVER
FLOODING. ADDITIONALLY, GUSTY WINDS AND HIGH WAVES ARE HAZARDS
WITH THIS STORM SYSTEM. ELEVATION SNOW IN THE CASCADES IS ALSO
LIKELY INTO SATURDAY. THE LOCAL OFFICES DO NOT HAVE WATCH AND
WARNING HAZARDS AS OF THIS AFTERNOON. A REINFORCING DISTURBANCE
WILL BRING ADDITIONAL RAIN SHOWERS INTO SUNDAY AND EVENTUALLY PUSH
A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE NORTHWEST.
CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE INTERMOUNTAIN WEST SHOULD
REMAIN SEASONABLY WARM AND DRY WITH HIGH TEMPERATURES IN THE 70S
COMMONPLACE. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND ARIZONA MAY APPROACH THE 80S
AND LOW 90S. ON SUNDAY, THE WARMTH WILL SHIFT WESTWARD ACROSS THE
ROCKIES AND INTO THE DAKOTAS. HIGH TEMPERATURES ARE LIKELY TO HIT
THE UPPER 70S ACROSS THE FRONT RANGE, WHICH IS ABOUT 10-15 DEGREES
ABOVE AVERAGE FOR THIS TIME OF THE YEAR. LOW TEMPERATURES ARE
LIKELY TO STILL DROP INTO THE 30S IN THE MOUNTAINS, BUT THE
VALLEYS MAY HAVE MORNING TEMPERATURES IN THE 40S, ALSO WELL ABOVE
AVERAGE FOR EARLY NOVEMBER.
A COLD FRONT DROPPING SOUTHWARDS TOWARDS THE TEXAS GULF COAST ON
SATURDAY WILL BE ACCOMPANIED WITH A CHANCE FOR SOME STRONG
THUNDERSTORMS AS SOME INSTABILITY DEVELOPS IN THE AFTERNOON. THE
STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS A MARGINAL RISK FOR THE POTENTIAL OF
LARGE HAIL WITH SUPERCELLS THAT MAY DEVELOP.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST, FOR THOSE WHO CELEBRATE, HAPPY HALLOWEEN !
