A big change in weather next week
A developing storm system over northwestern Mexico and the southwestern U.S. will drift eastward, sparking a multi-day rainfall event across the southern U.S. In addition, some wet snow can be expected across southern sections of the Rockies and High Plains. Five-day rainfall amounts should reach at least 2 to 4 inches from central Texas to Georgia and the Carolinas, with some 8-inch totals possible in eastern Texas and environs. The storm will lift northward from the Mississippi Delta into the Great Lakes region during the first half of next week. Meanwhile, a strong cold front will surge southward across western Canada, reaching northern sections of the U.S. Rockies and Plains early next week. As the storm system begins to merge with the encroaching cold front, a snowfall event will unfold early next week—starting in the Northwest and eventually spreading across portions of the northern Plains and Midwest. At the same time, rain will develop in the East. In the storm’s wake, an early-season cold spell will engulf the U.S.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of colder-than-normal conditions nearly nationwide, while above-normal temperatures will be confined to southern Florida and the Northeast. Meanwhile, near- to above-normal precipitation across most of the country will contrast with drier-than-normal weather from southern California to the Mississippi Delta.
