Sunday's Weather Outlook

February 23, 2019
By WeatherBug Meteorologist, Rebecca Huff
A spring preview, drenching downpours and heavy snow are all on Mother Nature’s Sunday schedule. 

A large and strong low pressure system will dart into eastern Canada but not without making a grand exit across the Upper Mississippi Valley through the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. A wind-whipped, heavy snow is on tap for the Upper Mississippi Valley with highs in the bitter single-digits and teens. Further east into the Great Lakes and Midwest, slightly warmer highs in the 20s and 30s will allow for plenty of snow and gusty winds to boot. 

Those on the warmer side of this system include the northern Ohio Valley, Mid-Atlantic and southern New England. Highs here will reach the 50s and 60s with even warmer 70s spreading into the Carolinas. Morning and early afternoon rain are expected here with gusty winds arriving after the soggy weather moves out. Northern New England through Maine has another thing coming with highs in the 20s and low 30s with snow and a brief wintry mix on the way. 

Across the Southeast, this storm’s trailing cold front will produce one last round of morning showers with a few thunderstorms before it exits off the East Coast. Highs here will be comfortable in the 60s and 70s. Florida will also have a few scattered showers but can expect unseasonable warmth as highs climb into the upper 80s.

The Pacific Northwest is the other busy spot on Sunday with a low pressure coming ashore to bring mountain snow and coastal rain. The Washington through northern California coastlines have a soggy day on tap while heavy mountain snow across the northern Cascades through the northern Rockies piles up. Highs along the Coast will make it into the tolerable 40s while the highest elevations only have 20s and low 30s.

Thanks to high pressure, quiet skies are expected in the Southwest, the central and southern Plains eastward into the Tennessee Valley. Highs will range from the 50s to the 60s with warmer 70s spreading along the Gulf Coast. Cooler highs in the 20s and 30s will be found along the central and southern Rockies.
