Predictive Services Discussion:

A cold front will move off the East Coast today and tonight with light precipitation for the Northeast and MidAtlantic. Breezy and dry post-frontal winds will develop this weekend behind the front. Mild and dry conditions 

are forecast across the West today and tomorrow, before a storm moves into the West from the Gulf of Alaska

Sunday into early next week. Widespread precipitation is forecast, with snow levels falling as low as 1,000 feet 

near the Canadian border and 4,000 feet in the Southwest by early next week. Strong westerly winds and low 

relative humidity are likely across New Mexico into the southern/central High Plains as well, where elevated to 

critical conditions are possible. As the storm moves east, widespread precipitation will develop across the 

Mississippi Valley to the East Coast mid to late next week, with snow in portions of the Upper Mississippi Valley 

and northern Great Lakes, while another storm brings more rain and snow to the northwestern US. Southwest 

Alaska will remain unsettled well into next week, while periodic light precipitation affects the rest of the state. 

Trade winds are forecast to increase across Hawai’i early next week and become strong, but moisture will also 

increase with frequent windward showers and occasional leeward showers.
