...CHANCES FOR HEAVY RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF THE
FLORIDA PENINSULA OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS...
...MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW POSSIBLE FOR A SMALL PORTION OF THE
CENTRAL U.S. TONIGHT...
...ELEVATED TO CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS FOR CENTRAL/SOUTHERN
HIGH PLAINS INTO TUESDAY AND THE SOUTHEAST INTO WEDNESDAY...
A FRONTAL BOUNDARY LINGERING ACROSS FLORIDA AND INTO THE GULF WILL
CONTINUE TO BRING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS MUCH OF THE
STATE. INSTABILITY AND ANOMALOUS MOISTURE ALONG THIS BOUNDARY AND
ASSOCIATED WITH A WEAK AREA OF LOW PRESSURE COULD BRING HEAVY TO
EXCESSIVE RAINFALL, WITH THE BEST FOCUS ALONG THE EAST COAST OF
FLORIDA. WPC HAS A MARGINAL RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL IN PLACE
THROUGH WEDNESDAY. TO THE NORTH, ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL SLIDE
THROUGH THE GREAT LAKES AND NORTHEAST BRINGING SOME LAKE EFFECT
RAIN OR SNOW SHOWERS INTO TUESDAY. COLDER TEMPERATURES WILL FOLLOW
BEHIND THIS SYSTEM SPREADING FROM THE NORTHERN PLAINS INTO THE
NORTHEAST, WITH POTENTIAL FOR NEAR FREEZING TEMPERATURES INTO THE
NORTHEAST AND MID-ATLANTIC REGIONS ESPECIALLY WEDNESDAY MORNING.
A COUPLE OF WEAK UPPER LEVEL SYSTEMS WILL BRING A CHANCE FOR
SHOWERS TO THE SOUTHWEST U.S. TONIGHT. ENERGY ALONG A WARM FRONT
ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS MAY BRING A COMPACT, BUT INTENSE, AREA
OF SNOWFALL FROM FAR EASTERN NEBRASKA INTO SOUTHWEST IOWA WITH
POTENTIAL FOR 6+ INCHES OF SNOWFALL THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING.
BEHIND THIS, A MUCH STRONGER SYSTEM WILL ENTER THE NORTHERN U.S.
DRIVING A COLD FRONT THROUGH THE NORTHERN ROCKIES, PLAINS, AND
UPPER MIDWEST TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY. SHOWERS WILL DEVELOP ALONG
THIS BOUNDARY FROM THE CENTRAL PLAINS INTO THE UPPER MIDWEST, WITH
POTENTIAL FOR WINTRY PRECIPITATION ON THE NORTHERN SIDE OF THE
PRECIPITATION SHIELD IN THE GREAT LAKES REGION.
SOUTH OF THE ABOVE SYSTEM, LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY AND GUSTY WINDS
WILL CONTRIBUTE TO ELEVATED TO CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER THREATS
ACROSS PARTS OF THE SOUTH-CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS THROUGH TONIGHT.
THIS THREAT SHIFTS INTO THE SOUTHEAST ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY AS
DRY HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE REGION TO THE NORTH OF THE
LINGERING BOUNDARY OVER FLORIDA.
