Predictive Services Discussion: 

A slow-moving storm will move from the Rockies today into the Plains this weekend then off the East Coast late 

next week with temperatures above normal for much of the US. Light to moderate precipitation will fall across 

the Rockies today and tomorrow, with snow in the mountains and a brief periods of dry downslope winds across 

the southern High Plains. Across much of the Plains to the Mississippi Valley precipitation will be moderate to 

heavy this weekend, with moderate snow possible on portions of the central and northern High Plains. 

Precipitation will be light to moderate across the eastern US from the Great Lakes and Appalachians to the East 

Coast and fall as rain, except across the higher peaks of the Adirondacks and northern New England. Another 

storm will affect the northwestern US mid to late next week with high snow levels, and heavy rain will fall across 

much of northwest Oregon into western Washington.
