Today's Weather Outlook

A wet, wintry mix to start the work week brings many regions begging for spring to settle within the last few weeks of winter. 

In the Northeast, a mix of precipitation will be present in the region. A rain and snow mix will plague all areas except the coast, bringing icy conditions to Maine and New Hampshire. Coastal regions will be a bit warmer, allowing for isolated thunderstorms to occur today. 

The Mid-Atlantic will see a similar weather pattern today, with a snowy, rainy mix inland with isolated thunderstorms along the coastline.  

The Midwest will be similarly wet near the Great Lakes, but dry elsewhere. Near the Great Lakes, there will be some snow showers along Lake Superior and Lake Michigan. Areas surrounding Lake Huron, Lake Erie, and Lake Ontario should expect a rain and snow mix. 

The Mountain West can expect some pockets of precipitation but mostly clinging to the mountainous peaks in the Northern Rockies. There will be a rain and snow mix in the Northern Rockies that brings scattered showers to lowland areas in northern Idaho and western Montana. 

This moisture will continue to be present within the Pacific Northwest as well, bringing similar conditions to the Cascades. Snow will stick to mountain peaks in the Northern Cascades, but showery rain will fall in the valleys through to the Washington coast. 

The Desert Southwest, along with most of the West Coast, will see dry conditions, starting off the work week with dry drives to and from work. 

Chilly temperatures will dip down into the Midwest, as temperatures in the teens will extend from Canada. Teens will primarily drift into the Northern Plains, while 20s and 30s will extend outwards into the Central Plains and Great Lakes. These below-freezing temperatures can also be seen along the mountain peaks in the Rockies, Northern Cascades, and Appalachians. 

Forties can be seen among several regions of the country. These temperatures can be expected in Maine and New Hampshire, as well as lowland areas along the Appalachians, along the Tennessee Valley, the Southern Plains, and lowland areas in the Rockies. 

Areas seeing 50-degree temperatures will be New England, the eastern side of the Appalachians, the northern Gulf Coast, higher elevations in the Great Basin, and coastal Pacific Northwest.  

Sixties and low 70s will be experienced along the Mid-Atlantic coast, the Rio Grande Valley, lowland areas in the Great Basin, and the Willamette Valley in the Pacific Northwest. 

Eighties can be expected in Florida, as well as the Desert Southwest, and California’s Central Valley.
