Predictive Services Discussion:

Thunderstorms will develop across portions of the Southeast today and much of Florida to the southeast 

Atlantic Coast tomorrow. Relatively dry and occasionally breezy conditions are likely across much of the 

Southeast this weekend through early next week, but chances of rain and thunderstorms may continue in 

portions of Florida to the southeast Atlantic and Gulf Coasts. Periodic dry and breezy conditions are likely on 

portions of the southern and central High Plains into next week, with thunderstorms possibly returning mid to 

late next week on portions of the southern Plains into the Mississippi Valley and Southeast. 

Precipitation returns to parts of Pacific Northwest and California this weekend, with another atmospheric river 

making landfall on the West Coast, primarily focused on California, early next week. Widespread precipitation 

is expected on the West Coast, with the heaviest precipitation in the Sierra and the Coast Ranges of California. 

Precipitation will spread across the Intermountain West through mid-next week, including areas of heavy 

precipitation in the central and southern Rockies and Great Basin. Heavy snow is expected in the mountains, 

with rain likely up to mid-elevations before lowering. More flooding is expected across the West next week.
