Wide-range of weather across the Heartland
A developing storm near the Mid-Atlantic Coast will result in a late-season snowstorm for Tuesday night and Wednesday from the central Appalachians into New England. Meanwhile, a long-duration precipitation event will strike California, starting Tuesday and continuing through Thursday. Storm-total precipitation could reach 4 to 8 inches or more in the coastal ranges of southern California and in the Sierra Nevada, with heavy snow expected in the latter region. Recently burned hillsides in southern California will be especially susceptible to mudslides and debris flows. Elsewhere, dry weather will prevail through week’s end in the south-central U.S., while a late-week storm will produce rain and snow from the northern Plains into the Ohio Valley. Several days of hot weather, with temperatures reaching or exceeding 90°, will accompany the dry conditions on the southern Plains.
Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for the likelihood of near- to below-normal temperatures throughout the northern and western U.S., while warmer-than-normal weather will prevail from the southern Plains to the southern Atlantic Coast. Meanwhile, near- to above-normal precipitation across most of the country should contrast with drier-than-normal conditions across Florida’s peninsula, the Pacific Coast States, and much of New England.
