Today's Weather Outlook
An active pattern continues for the Pacific Northwest with soaking rain and high elevation snowfall.

Heavy rain and high terrain snowfall will arrive to the Pacific Northwest once again. The coastal, lower elevation sections of Oregon and Washington will have periods of rainfall while the interior mountains see snow. Along the coast, 0.5 to 1.5 inches of rain is expected, while parts of the Cascades will see heavy snowfall accumulation. In Idaho and western Montana, the dominant precipitation type will be snow with light to moderate accumulations possible.

The cold front stalled over the Southeast will not budge an inch for the conclusion of the weekend. Rounds of rain and thunderstorms will continue across southern portions of the Southeast, the central Gulf Coast and the entire Florida Peninsula. Like Saturday, multiple rounds of rain could create some localized flooding.

The low pressure system and cold front in the Central U.S. will move northeastward today, pushing across the Ohio Valley into the Northeast. Any precipitation will be limited to right along the low pressure system, starting in the Midwest in the morning, spreading to the Ohio and Tennessee valleys in the afternoon then the Appalachian Spine, Northeast and possibly parts of the Mid-Atlantic in the evening.

In the morning, expect snow across the Great Lakes and Upper Midwest, though there could be a thin area of freezing rain that mixes in. Light rain is likely for the Lower Midwest. Expect light snow across the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley during the afternoon, while rain will fall in the Tennessee Valley. There will mainly just be snow falling across the Northeast in the evening, with a slight chance of rain and snow for the Mid-Atlantic.

On the opposite side of the country, a warm front will be lifting across the West and north-central U.S. throughout the day. Precipitation will also be confined to right along the front, with snow expected for the northern Rockies and northern Plains. There will generally be light snow for the northern Plains, while some moderate to heavy snow could pile up in the northern Rockies. There could even be some light freezing rain that mixes in at times. Expect mainly rain showers for the Northwest, but snow is expected in the northern Cascades.

California, the Great Basin and the Four Corners states will all remain dry today. The southern half of the Plains will also be worry free.

Frigid cold weather will persist across the north-central U.S. today, with the northern Plains, Upper Mississippi Valley and western Great Lakes will see highs in the single digits and teens. However, a few spots could temperatures stay below freezing! Expect 20s and 30s for the Rockies, the central Plains, Lower Midwest, eastern Great Lakes, Ohio Valley and interior Northeast. Forties and 50s are in store for the Northwest, Great Basin, parts of the Southwest, northern Texas, the Tennessee Valley and Southeast. California will see temperatures in the 50s for far northern areas as well as the Central Valley. Otherwise, expect 60s and 70s for California and the Desert Southwest, southern Texas, the Deep South and Florida.
