By WeatherBug Meteorologist, Alyssa Robinette
Cool, fall-like weather is expected for much of the nation this weekend. However, late-summer heat lingers across parts of the South, while a winter preview arrives in the Northwest.
Saturday
A low pressure system will crawl across the south-central U.S. to start the weekend. Rain and thunderstorms will soak the central/southern Plains and the lower half of the Mississippi Valley throughout the entire day. Isolated to scattered showers will also make their way into the Midwest during the afternoon and evening.
Across the southern Plains, there will be the potential for strong to severe thunderstorms. The main threat within thunderstorms will be damaging wind gusts, though isolated, brief tornadoes cannot be ruled out. Some small hail could also occur. Slow-moving, repeated rounds of moderate to heavy rain will also be likely across the south-central U.S. Rainfall amounts of 2 to 4 inches are possible, with locally higher amounts. This much rain could trigger flooding concerns, especially in urban, low-lying and other more flood prone areas.
Meanwhile, an upper-level weather system and associated cold front will come barreling into the Northwest. Rain will be found throughout the Northwest and northern California throughout the day, with rain becoming increasingly likely for the northern Rockies and Great Basin. Some locally heavy rain is possible, mainly along the coast, which could lead to some isolated flooding.
While much of the Northwest sees rain, temperatures will be cold enough across the higher elevations of the Cascades and northern Rockies in Idaho, Montana and northwestern Wyoming. Most areas should see a coating to a few inches. However, the tallest peaks could end up with 5 to 10 inches of fresh powder!
A few showers are possible throughout the interior Northeast thanks to a departing low pressure system. Showers and thunderstorms will be scattered across the southern half of the Florida Peninsula as a result of a nearby stalled frontal system. Otherwise, the rest of the Eastern Seaboard stays dry. The northern Plains, the Four Corner states and southern California will also be free of weather concerns on Saturday.
Highs will generally be in the 40s and 50s across the Northwest, northern California and throughout the Rockies. Though, the higher elevations could only see highs in the 30s. Forties and 50s will also be spread throughout the Midwest, Northeast and Appalachian Spine.
Expect mainly 60s and 70s elsewhere, including much of southern California, the lower elevations of the Great Basin and Rockies, much of the Plains, the Tennessee Valley and Southeast. The Desert Southwest, far southern Texas and Florida will also record highs in
the 80s to lower 90s.
Sunday
The low pressure system in the south-central U.S. will advance east on Sunday, making its way into the Southeast. Rain and thunderstorms will be likely across the Tennessee Valley and central Gulf Coast during the morning, before moving into the Southeast in the afternoon and evening. Scattered rain showers associated with this low pressure will also occur across the eastern Plains and Lower Midwest. Showers and thunderstorms will be in the forecast for Florida throughout the day.
Gusty thunderstorms could still develop in the Tennessee Valley and central Gulf Coast, mainly in the morning and afternoon. Heavy downpours and isolated flooding will also be a possibility here.
On the opposite side of the nation, the Pacific system that pushed into the Northwest will slide south and east. Precipitation will continue to be found throughout the Northwest, northern California, the Great Basin and northern Rockies. This precipitation will also spread to the central/southern Rockies in the afternoon and evening. Most places will see precipitation in the form of rain. The higher elevations of the Cascades and Rockies will once again be cold enough for accumulating snow.
Most of the higher elevations in the Mountain West will pick up light snowfall accumulations. Though, the Cascades could see an additional 4 to 8 inches. Three to 6 inches of snow could also accumulate for the Rockies’ tallest peaks.
The Northeast could continue to see a few light showers on Sunday morning and afternoon, while the Great Lakes and Mid-Atlantic stay dry. Southern California and the Desert Southwest remain dry under high pressure.
The Northwest and Rockies will once again be the coldest spots on Sunday, with highs generally in the 30s and 40s. The tallest peaks will observe highs in the 20s, while the lowest areas could see the mercury peak in the lower 50s. The Midwest, Appalachian Spine and Northeast will have temperatures mainly in the 50s and lower 60s, but the higher elevations of the interior Northeast will record highs in the 40s.
Sixties and 70s are in store for southern California into much of the Southwest, most of the Plains, Deep South and the Southeast. Temperatures will peak though in the 80s to lower 90s for the typical warm spots in the Desert Southwest, far southern Texas and much of Florida.
