Predictive Services Discussion: 

A storm will move from the Southeast today and develop into a Nor’easter this weekend off the New England 

Coast. Widespread wetting rain will fall near and south of the Ohio Valley to the Carolinas and south to the Gulf 

Coast, while widespread snow is forecast from the Great Lakes into the Northeast, with mixed precipitation in 

between from the central Appalachians to the Mid-Atlantic. Another storm is likely to develop across the Plains 

early next week and move to the East Coast mid-next week. Widespread precipitation will develop from the 

central and southern Plains into the Great Lakes then east to the East Coast. Heavy snow and blizzard conditions 

will be possible on the northwest periphery of the storm, from the central Plains into the western Great Lakes, 

with snow changing to rain across much of the eastern Great Lakes into the Northeast. 

A deep Pacific storm will move into the West this weekend, with widespread rain and mountain snow, with snow 

levels 2,000 to 4,000 feet. Breezy and dry westerly winds will develop across the lower deserts of Arizona and 

New Mexico into the Trans Pecos Saturday into Monday ahead of the associated cold front, with the strongest 

winds and driest conditions across the Trans Pecos. An active pattern will continue across the northern twothirds of the West next week as well, with more precipitation from the Northwest and northern California into 

much of the Rockies. Much colder temperatures are likely across the West as well, with snow levels dropping to 

1,000 feet near the Canadian border to 4,000 feet in the Southwest late next week. A wetter pattern is likely 

across Hawai’i the next week as numerous cold fronts impact the islands.
