Predictive Services Discussion:

Low pressure will move into California today bringing widespread rain, with snow above 5,000 feet in the Coast 

Ranges, Sierra, and Transverse Ranges of southern California into Saturday, while lighter precipitation falls 

across the Northwest. The storm will rapidly weaken as it moves into the Southwest with little precipitation into 

the southern Rockies. Much of the US will be dry Sunday into Monday with a dry cold front moving south and 

east from the Plains into the Southeast. Weak low pressure will develop over the southern Plains and Lower 

Mississippi Valley mid-next week, with widespread wetting rain likely that will spread into the Southeast late next 

week. After a period of drier weather early next week, weakening Pacific storms will bring moderate precipitation 

to the West Coast mid to late next week with scattered light precipitation possible into the Intermountain West. 

Temperatures are likely to remain above normal across much of the West and the northern tier of the US, with 

cooler than normal temperatures for much of the Southeast the next week. Hawai’i is forecast to have a typical 

trade wind pattern into next week except for a brief increase of showers possible with a weakening cold front on 

Monday.
