Predictive Services Discussion: 

A cold front will move off the East Coast today, with precipitation ending in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic and 

dry and breezy northwesterly winds behind the front across the Southeast into Saturday. An upper low will bring 

light precipitation to portions of the Northwest into the northern Great Basin into this weekend, with moderate 

precipitation likely for California. Well above normal temperatures are forecast ahead of the low across the 

Southwest into the southern and central High Plains. Dry, southwesterly winds will likely produce elevated to 

critical conditions across southern New Mexico Sunday spreading onto much of the central Plains and western 

Mid-Mississippi Valley Monday. Another upper low is likely to drop into the Northwest and northern Rockies 

Monday, with light precipitation spreading across portions of the Northwest into the northern Plains and snow 

levels. As these systems move onto the Plains mid-next week, wetting rain is forecast for much of the eastern 

Plains into the Mississippi Valley and Great Lakes, while severe thunderstorms are likely on the central/southern 

Plains. Periods of snow are expected across much of western Alaska and the Interior this weekend, with strong 

downslope winds forecast downwind of the Alaska Range. A strong low to the northwest of Hawai’i is forecast to 

bring heavy rain to portions of Niihau and Kauai today into tomorrow, with scattered showers moving across the 

rest of the islands this weekend.
