Seasons will battle across the U.S. this weekend as fall-like weather persists across the West while winter attempts to invade the Central and Eastern U.S.
Saturday
A low pressure system will drift from the Northeast into Atlantic Canada on Saturday. The associated cold front will also move through the Eastern Seaboard early in the day, but it could linger over the Southeast for much of the day. Rain showers will be found across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic early morning, before tapering off and ending by midday. The Southeast and Deep South will see showers and thunderstorms throughout the day.
At the same time, a new low pressure and its reinforcing cold front will drop south into the north-central U.S., making it into the Midwest late in the day. This will bring chances for wintry weather and gusty winds. The strongest winds will occur in the north-central U.S., so be sure to bring in any outdoor holiday decorations.
Light snow will be possible across eastern Montana and North Dakota into the early evening. Northern South Dakota, parts of Minnesota, northern Wisconsin, much of Michigan and northwestern Iowa could see wet snow or a rain/snow mix, mainly early and late in the day. Otherwise, temperatures will be warm enough for just rain across the rest of the northern half of the Plains and Midwest. A few rain showers could also make it into the Ohio Valley late in the day.
On the opposite side of the nation, the West and the south-central U.S. will be under the influence of a ridge of high pressure. This high pressure system will lead to dry, quiet weather.
Temperatures will generally average near to above normal on Saturday. The exception will be the northern Plains and Great Lakes, where unseasonably cold weather is expected.
The far northern Plains and the highest elevations of the Rockies could see the mercury climb only into the 20s. Otherwise, expect 30s and 40s for the Rockies, northern Plains, Great Lakes and interior Northeast. Fifties and 60s cover the Northwest, Great Basin, the central Plains, Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and southern New England. Most of California and Desert Southwest into the southern Plains and Southeast will report highs in the 70s and 80s, with isolated 90s for the Desert Southwest and far southern Texas.
Sunday
Saturday’s low pressure system in the Midwest will advance to the northeast on Sunday, arriving in New England by late Sunday night. The cold front associated with the low pressure will also sweep across the East.
The bulk of precipitation will be found along the low pressure system, moving from the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley for the first half of the day and then the Northeast for the second half. However, most areas east of the Mississippi will experience some type of precipitation on Sunday.
Expect generally light snow across the Upper Mississippi Valley and Great Lakes, though there could be a brief period of moderate to heavy snow in the morning. The rest of the Midwest will likely see rain during the day, which will mix with and possibly change over to snow in the evening. Rain showers will soak the rest of the eastern half of the U.S. Some thunderstorms will also be possible across the Southeast, with a rumble or two of thunder as far north as the Mid-Atlantic and southern New England.
It will also be another blustery day, both along and behind the low pressure and cold front. The strongest winds will likely be throughout the Plains into the Midwest.
Meanwhile, high pressure will continue to control the weather across the western half of the nation. Dry weather will remain in the forecast as a result.
The cold Canadian air will spread south and east on Sunday, causing it to be colder than normal throughout the central U.S. into the Ohio and Tennessee valleys. Both coasts will end up unseasonably warm.
High temperatures will be in the 20s and 30s across the northern half of the Plains, the Upper Mississippi Valley, Great Lakes and interior Northeast. The tallest peaks in the Rockies will also experience 20s and 30s. Forties and 50s are in store for the interior Northwest, the lower elevations of the Rockies and central Plains into the Tennessee Valley and southern New England. Milder 60s and 70s will be seen for the Pacific Northwest, much of California and the Great Basin into the southern Plains, Deep South and Mid-Atlantic. Expect widespread 80s across Florida, with 80s and 90s for the Desert Southwest.
