Big weather changes will unfurl across the U.S. this weekend, with some wintry weather sweeping across the Rockies and Upper Midwest.
Saturday
While much of the U.S. southern tier will have a quiet start to the weekend, the northern Rockies, northern Plains and the Northeast will be dealing with its own share of autumn weather.
Saturday’s biggest weather event will extend from the northern Rockies into the Upper Midwest. A big autumn storm accompanying the coldest airmass of the season so far will produce widespread snow across the northern Rockies and extreme northern High Plains early Saturday. The storm and its wintry mix will zip across the northern Plains and into the Upper Midwest, where slick roads and high winds could produce some travel difficulties. Dropping temperatures will accompany the system with highs only in the 30s and 40s from Montana to the Minnesota Arrowhead.
Another autumn storm system will slide up the Northeast Coast, bringing heavy rain into New England through early Saturday afternoon. The rain will diminish, and the sky will clear Saturday afternoon and evening.
The rest of the U.S., including the Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, South, southern and central Plains, southern and central Rockies, Southwest, Great Basin and California will have a quiet and mostly sunny Saturday. Temperatures will range from 60s and 70s across the East, Southeast, South and Great Basin with 80s found across Florida, western Texas, the western high Plains and California. The hottest spots will be the Southwest and interior Southern California where highs will reach the 90s to near 100 degrees.
Sunday
A cold front moving across the Midwest and the central Plains will bring a cold blast to the northern and central Plains, Upper Midwest and western Great Lakes. Highs from the northern Rockies into the Dakotas will only reach the lower 30s, with upper 30s and lower 40s found across the Upper Midwest, central Plains, and western Great Lakes. Snow will be possible in the highest elevations of the northern Rockies, too.
The same system will also produce rain showers in the central Great Lakes, Midwest, central Mississippi Valley and the Ozarks Sunday. Highs will be in the 50s and 60s early Sunday before colder air arrives from the northern Plains.
Rain showers will also be possible in the Pacific Northwest into the Intermountain West. The clouds will keep temperatures in the 50s and low 60s.
The East Coast, Southeast, South, southern Plains, southern Rockies, Southwest, Great Basin and California will have a quiet Sunday. The East Coast will remain unseasonably chilly with highs in the upper 50s and low 60s while the Southeast, Great Basin and southern Rockies see highs in the 70s. The South, Florida, Texas, southern Rockies, Southwest and California will be in the 80s Sunday, with low desert locations of the Southwest and interior southern California reaching the 90s.
