We are still over a week out from the “official” start to winter, but Mother Nature will be delivering plenty of wintry weather to the U.S. this weekend.
By Sunday, the disturbance in the Midwest will continue to advance eastward. The Northeast and the Mid-Atlantic will see light to moderate snow during the morning and afternoon, before tapering off and ending. Though, snow could continue through the evening across southeastern Massachusetts, Cape Cod and far southern Maine.
Behind this disturbance, strong Northwesterly winds will set up over the Great Lakes. This will allow lake-effect snow to develop. Most spots will see light accumulations, but heavier snow will pile up immediately downwind from the Great Lakes depending on the exact wind direction.
This disturbance will also force a cold front across the Deep South and Southeast. Rain showers will soak the Southeast, Gulf Coast and southern Plains in the morning and afternoon. A few showers could linger across southern Texas during the evening. Showers and a few thunderstorms will also become increasingly likely throughout the day for southern Florida as a warm front lifts across the region.
Meanwhile, a cold front will stall over the Pacific Northwest on Sunday. Expect rain showers across western Washington and northwestern Oregon, best chance in the morning and afternoon. The tallest peaks in the northern Cascades could see some snow or a rain/snow mix.
High pressure will control the weather across the rest of the Western U.S. and much of the Plains and Mississippi Valley. Expect dry, quiet weather as a result.
The Upper Midwest will see the coldest temperatures on Sunday, with highs staying in single digits to perhaps several degrees below zero. The northern Plains, Lower Midwest, Northeast and Mid-Atlantic will report highs in the teens and 20s. Expect 30s and 40s for much of the High Plains, Deep South and Southeast, with 40s and 50s in the Northwest, Great Basin, Rockies, the southern Plains and much of the Gulf Coast. Far southern Texas will see temperatures peak in the 60s, while Florida has highs in the 60s and 70s. California’s Central Valley will only warm into the 50s, while 60s, 70s and a few lower 80s are forecast for the rest of California into the Desert Southwest.
