Weather
An active pattern, wide-ranging temperatures
A storm system currently centered over south-central Canada will continue to drift northeastward. Showers and locally severe thunderstorms along a trailing cold front will sweep eastward, with gradual weakening expected. Additional rainfall could reach 1 to 2 inches in the Southeast, mainly west of the Appalachians. Meanwhile, unsettled weather will continue in the Northwest, where multiple Pacific disturbances will move ashore. Five-day Northwestern precipitation totals could reach 4 to 8 inches west of the Cascades and 2 to 6 inches in the northern Rockies. Precipitation will clip northwestern California. Elsewhere, a sharp north-to-south temperature gradient will develop across the U.S. as the week progresses, with periods of snow possible within the cold (northern) sector. Additional rain showers can be expected late in the week in the Southeast.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of above-normal temperatures across the southern two-thirds of the U.S., while colder-than-normal conditions will be confined to the nation’s northern tier from the Pacific Northwest to northern Minnesota. Meanwhile, below-normal precipitation along the middle and southern Atlantic Coast and from southern California to the central and southern Plains will contrast with wetter-than-normal weather in the western and central Gulf Coast regions and from the Pacific Northwest into the Great Lakes region.
