Windy & showery; colder days also to follow

Tropical Storm Nester is forecast to move northeastward across the Gulf of Mexico and make landfall early in the weekend across western Florida.

However, regardless of further development, storm impacts could include a significant storm surge along Florida’s Gulf coast; tropical storm-force winds (39 mph or greater) in the eastern Gulf Coast region; and rainfall totals of 2 to 5 inches from Florida to the eastern Carolinas. By Sunday, the remnants of the tropical system should move over the western Atlantic Ocean after crossing the southern Mid-Atlantic coast.

Farther west, a series of cold fronts will maintain a cool, showery regime from the Pacific Northwest to the northern Rockies, with significant snow expected at higher elevations. Late in the weekend and early next week, a low-pressure system will intensify over the nation’s mid-section, resulting in another round of rain and snow across saturated areas of the northern Plains and upper Midwest.

In contrast, mostly dry weather will prevail during the next 5 days from central and southern California to the southern High Plains.

Looking ahead, the 6- to 10-day outlook calls for below-normal temperatures from the Rockies to the central and southern Appalachians, while warmer-than-normal weather will be confined to California, New England, Florida’s peninsula, and the Desert Southwest.

Meanwhile, below-normal precipitation in most areas from the Pacific Coast to the central and southern Plains will contrast with the likelihood of wetter-than-normal conditions across the northern Plains, upper Great Lakes region, and east of the Mississippi River
