Rain, Snow, and Cold Air Impacts the U.S. - 11-10 to 11-12
CONUS — As we look ahead, an active storm pathway from the Pacific will keep the Pacific Northwest wet with rain and mountain snow, especially heavy around the Olympic Peninsula. Expect total precipitation of a few inches through Thursday morning. Warmer temperatures will be replaced by a cold surge hitting the eastern U.S. by Wednesday night, bringing cooler air and strong winds.
Pacific Northwest: Anticipate periods of rain and snow in higher elevations today and tomorrow. This is due to a series of Pacific storms moving through the area. If you're in Seattle,WA or Portland,OR, keep an umbrella handy!
Southern Texas: Heavy rain diminishes today as the weather system moves east and weakens. Some showers will linger near the western to central Gulf Coast.
Across the U.S: Mild temperatures prevail under a zonal flow, which means winds are moving west to east at a consistent speed. However, a shift will occur with cold air rushing in from the east by Wednesday night. This will bring a chill to the eastern half of the country.
Great Lakes to Northeast: Expect scattered showers through Wednesday due to low-pressure systems from Canada. By Wednesday night, colder air will arrive, leading to possible wet snow by Thursday morning over the upper Great Lakes. The storm's path allows cold air to mix with precipitation, creating snow.
Midwest, Ohio, and Tennessee Valleys: Look out for thunderstorms and gusty winds as the weather system moves through on Wednesday. This will lead to dropping temperatures overnight into Thursday morning.
Mid-Atlantic: A chilly start this morning with frost advisories in Raleigh,NC and Norfolk,VA. Warmer weather will return by this afternoon.
