Today's Weather Outlook

The Western U.S. continues to feel the impacts of a major weather system today, while a generally drier forecast awaits the rest of the U.S.
The potent weather system that moved into the Western U.S. earlier this week will spilt into two parts today. The northern half of this weather system will dart from the Northwest and northern Rockies into the northern Plains. Meanwhile, the southern half will become “cut-off” from the normal weather flow and will hover just off the California coast as a result.
Precipitation will be found throughout the Northwest, northern Rockies, Great Basin and most of California throughout the day, while this moisture will spread east into the northern Plains in the afternoon and evening. Temperatures will generally be warm throughout the West and north-central U.S., which will cause rain to be the predominant precipitation type. However, the tallest elevations of the Cascades, Sierra Nevada and northern Rockies will be cold enough for wet snow or a rain/snow mix.
Most places that see snow will only pick up a coating to perhaps a few inches. The highest spots could end up with 5 to 10 inches just today! If you are traveling through the mountains and over the tallest mountain passes, be prepared for some travel concerns.
Slow-moving, repeated rounds of moderate to heavy rain will be a possibility, especially across southern California into California’s Central Valley. Given multiple days of soggy weather and additional rounds of torrential rain, flooding could develop in places. Remember, if you approach a flooded roadway, it is always best to “Turn Around, Don’t Drown!”
Otherwise, there will be two other spots that could see a few weather hiccups for the end of the week. A warm front will lift across the Ohio and Tennessee valleys, which could trigger a few showers. The interior Northeast could also see some rain and snow showers due to the proximity of a weather system in Atlantic Canada.
High pressure will control the weather across the rest of the U.S., allowing for dry weather in the Four Corners states, the central and southern Plains, Midwest, Southeast and Mid-Atlantic.
Unseasonably mild weather is in store for the Central U.S., while near to below average temperatures are expected along both coasts.
Expect mainly 30s and 40s across the Northeast, with 20s in the highest elevations. The Mountain West, far northern parts of the Plains, Great Lakes and Mid-Atlantic will report highs in the 40s and 50s, with 30s also possible in the Cascades, Sierra Nevada and northern Rockies. Sixties and 70s are in store for most of California, the northern and central Plains, Midwest and Southeast. Widespread 80s are possible in the Desert Southwest and southern Plains.
