Predictive Services Discussion: 

Quiet weather is expected over much of the contiguous US through the weekend. A cold front will exit the East 

Coast today with light precipitation, while weak upper-level short-waves move through the Northwest and 

northern Rockies with periods of light snow in the mountains. Dry and breezy conditions are expected over the 

southern High Plains as well, with locally elevated fire weather conditions possible. 

A more active pattern will develop next week as deep upper level troughing develops near the West Coast, with 

upper ridging over the southeastern US. Westerly winds are expected to increase across the southern High 

Plains early next week, with elevated to critical conditions likely Monday through Wednesday. Significant fire 

potential will increase each day, peaking on Wednesday. Meanwhile, widespread precipitation will move 

southward in the West during the week, with snow levels near sea level in the north and 3,000 to 5,000 feet in 

southern California and the southern Great Basin. Heavy mountain snow will fall in the Cascades, Sierra, and 

Rockies next week, and areas of heavy valley snowfall are likely as well.

As a portion of the trough moves into the Plains mid to late next week, heavy snow is likely to develop over 

portions of the Plains into the western Great Lakes. Widespread wetting precipitation is expected from eastern 

Oklahoma and Texas through the Mid-Mississippi Valley to the Great Lakes, then eastward into the central 

Appalachians and Northeast. While portions of the Southeast and much of Florida will remain dry next week, fire 

potential is forecast to remain low as relative humidity is likely to remain above critical values.
