Predictive Services Discussion: 

A strong atmospheric river will continue to move into California and the Great Basin today, with heavy snow in 

the Sierra and higher elevations of the Great Basin, while heavy rain falls in the middle to lower elevations. 

Areas of flooding will continue in California and portions of western Nevada. Lighter precipitation will fall across 

the Northwest and northern and central Rockies today. This weekend, light to moderate precipitation will 

continue before another atmospheric river makes landfall on the West Coast early to mid-next week and brings 

precipitation to much of the West, heaviest in California.

Elevated to locally critical conditions are likely across much of the central and southern High Plains today and 

Saturday, then return mid-next week after a brief break of higher relative humidity and light winds Sunday into 

Monday. Periods of light to moderate precipitation are possible today and Monday across the Southeast and 

Florida Peninsula. However, not all areas will receive wetting rain, and with dry northwest winds forecast 

behind each round of precipitation, areas that receive little rainfall will continue to have moderate risk of 

significant fires for the next week, especially across Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas. Meanwhile, rain with 

snow on the northern fringes, is forecast this weekend from the northern Plains into the Great Lakes, then 

move into the Northeast early next week.
