A beneficial moisture pattern in the Pacific West
Storms will continue to arrive along the Pacific Coast, with precipitation eventually reaching as far south as central and southern California. Five-day totals could reach 2 to 8 inches in the Pacific Northwest and 4 to 10 inches or more in northern California. Farther east, a storm system crossing the Midwest and Northeast could generate 1 to 3 inches of precipitation (rain and wet snow)—starting later today in the upper Midwest and reaching New England by October 27-28. In contrast, mostly dry weather will cover the High Plains, the Southwest, and the Deep South, accompanied by late-season warmth. In fact, above-normal temperatures will dominate the U.S., except in the Great Lakes and Northeastern States and near the Pacific Coast.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of warmer-than-normal weather nationwide, except for near-normal temperatures in the Northeast and below-normal temperatures in parts of northern and central California. Meanwhile, wetter-than-normal conditions from the Pacific Coast into the far upper Midwest will contrast with below-normal precipitation from central and southern sections of the Rockies and Plains to the Atlantic Coast.
