The West Coast will continue to be the focus for unsettled weather this weekend, as a strong early-season storm rolls onshore from the Pacific.
Saturday
Steady rainfall can be expected across the Northwest, extending as far south as the San Francisco Bay area. Only the highest elevations of Washington, Montana and California will see snow as the storm’s subtropical origins keeps snow levels quite high.
Weak disturbances moving through the Northeast as well as across the Mid-Mississippi Valley will cause a few showers to interrupt Saturday’s quiet weather. Otherwise, it will be wall-to-wall sunshine from the Desert Southwest to the Atlantic coast.
Temperatures will only reach the 50s from the Dakotas to New England, with milder 60s, 70s and even a few 80s from the Mid-Mississippi Valley to the Mid-Atlantic and southward toward the Gulf Coast. The coolest temperatures will be cooped up in the West, where 50s and 60s can be expected.
Sunday
The rain will continue to dig southward, bringing heavy downpours to the entire Interstate 5 corridor from Seattle to San Francisco. Snowflakes will accumulate to pass level across Washington and Idaho, although the Sierra Nevada will remain on the milder side.
Another developing storm system will careen into the central U.S., bringing rainfall to the Upper and Middle Mississippi Valleys, spreading into the Ohio Valley by afternoon.
The Rockies, High Plains and Eastern Seaboard will all remain quiet as separate areas of high pressure remain in control.
While the northern U.S. remains in the 40s and 50s, milder 60s, 70s and 80s will make their way into the Nation’s Midsection and as far north as Virginia. Chilly 40s and 50s can be expected across much of the West, with 60s in southern California ahead of the approaching storm system.
