Monday's Weather Outlook

Rain and snow will slide through the Northeast while drier weather continues in the Central and Western U.S. 

In the morning, a wintry system will be moving through the Northeast. This will bring rain from eastern Pennsylvania into southern Massachusetts. Snowfall will occur in northern Massachusetts and northward into southern Vermont, southern New Hampshire, and southern Maine. Light accumulations are possible with little to no travel impacts anticipated. Most of the rain and snow will be off the coast by noon with a few lingering snow showers possible in the interior Northeast. 

A few rain showers and thunderstorms are possible in the Carolinas and eastern Georgia as a cold front sweeps through. The main threat with these storms will be damaging wind gusts, especially with their quick movement.

During the day, dry weather will be the norm for the northern Plains and Upper Midwest. However, a few rain/snow showers will be possible late in the evening.  

Dry conditions are anticipated in the Lower Midwest, Ohio Valley, Mid-South, Deep South, and central to southern Plains. 

High pressure will continue to be strong in much of the Western U.S. for the Pacific Northwest, western Great Basin, Four Corners, northern Rockies, and Desert Southwest. Rain and snow showers will be possible in the eastern Great Basin and in parts of western to central Colorado. Snowfall accumulations are possible above 10,000 feet with rain anticipated below that. 

High temperatures in the 30s and 40s are likely in the Northeast, Upper Midwest, and high terrain of the central to northern Rockies. Forties and 50s will be common in the Lower Midwest, Ohio Valley, northern Mid-Atlantic, northern Plains, and northern half of the Pacific Northwest. A mix of 50s and 60s will be felt in the central Plains, southern Mid-Atlantic, and southern half of the Pacific Northwest. 

Warming up into the 60s and 70s will be the Mid-South, southern Plains, and Great Basin. The Southeast, Deep South, western Gulf Coast, Four Corners, and central to southern West Coast can anticipate 70s and 80s. Eighties and 90s are in the forecast to heat up much of the Desert Southwest!
