Predictive Services Discussion:

A strong storm will bring heavy rain to the Mid-Mississippi and Ohio Valleys today into Saturday, with severe 

thunderstorms across the Tennessee Valley and Deep South, while heavy snow falls across the central Great 

Lakes. Dry and breezy conditions will develop ahead of the cold front across the Southeast today, with dry and 

breezy conditions through the weekend on portions of the southern High Plains through the weekend. A brief 

respite in the dry conditions is likely over the southern Plains early next week, with precipitation for the Southeast. 

However, dry and breezy conditions are likely to return to the southern and central Plains mid to late next week, 

and possibly to the Southeast as well.

A series of storms will move through the Northwest and northern Intermountain West through the weekend. Light 

to moderate precipitation is forecast, with very low snow levels down to 500 feet at times. A stronger storm is 

likely for the West Coast early to mid-next week, with continued low snow levels and the heaviest precipitation 

forecast across central and northern California. Drier weather is forecast for the Southwest through next week, 

with windy conditions and potentially elevated fire weather conditions for the lower deserts late next week.
