Tuesday's Weather Outlook

As moisture drags itself across the country, many regions are plagued with a wet, wintry mix. 

In the Northeast, moisture plagues many areas with a rain and snow mix that brings icy conditions. New York City and D.C. metro areas will see impacts Tuesday, with icy conditions making road conditions slick.  

These wet, wintry conditions will continue along the Appalachian spine; however, the northern Mid-Atlantic will see some relief along the coastline from North Carolina through southern New Jersey as temperatures will keep the precipitation as a cold rain. 

The Southeast and Deep South will experience a relatively dry Tuesday, with potential for rain showers and isolated thunderstorms confined to southwestern Florida. 

Unfortunately for the Midwest, dry conditions are far and few within the region, with the northern Great Lakes and Northern Plains being the only dry areas this Tuesday. The Central and Southern Plains, as well as the southern edge of the Great Lakes will see rain showers and some thunderstorm activity. Thunderstorms will generally be along the lifting warm front that stretches across the Plains, where severe thunderstorms cannot be ruled out. 

As for the Rockies, there will be relatively dry weather this Tuesday, with some moisture along the mid-sector of the Rockies that will bring some rain and snow to the area. Salt Lake City metro, southern Wyoming, and the Denver metro will see wet conditions, with a rain and snow mix bringing snow to mountain peaks and a cold rain to the valleys. 

The Pacific Northwest will continue to see a wet pattern as well, with coastal rain showers from Washington down through northern California and a rain and snow mix in the mountainous areas. This rain and snow mix should bring a few inches of snow to the Cascades this Tuesday. 

The remainder of the West Coast will see dry weather conditions this Tuesday. 

Cold weather conditions persist this Tuesday, with the Northeast, northern Great Lakes, U.S.-Canada border in the Northern Plains, and higher mountainous peaks in the Rockies and Cascades seeing temperatures in the 30s. Surrounding areas will see 40s, including the remainder of the Great Lakes region and foothills of the Rockies and Cascades. 

Areas that will see 50s this Tuesday will be northern Mid-Atlantic, Ohio River Valley, remainder of the Northern Plains, the Central Plains, the lowland areas within the Rockies, and the Pacific Northwest. Sixties will occur across the southeastern Atlantic coast, California’s Central Valley, and southern California. 

Seventies will greet many regions of the country as well, such as the Tennessee Valley and higher elevated areas within the Desert Southwest. Eighties will be more prevalent within the country, with Florida, the Deep South, and most of the Desert Southwest seeing these temperatures.
