…Rain showers across Upper Midwest/Great Lakes today…
…Snow showers for the Northern Rockies…
…Well above-average temperatures continue over the Central and Eastern
U.S…
A relatively active northern stream will promote sensible weather across
the northern tier states over the next couple of days. Rain showers and
isolated thunderstorms focused along a cold front will spread from North
Dakota this morning to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan tonight. The once
cut-off low over the Central Plains will quickly phase with the northern
stream and amplify over the East by Thursday morning. In the meantime,
warm southerly advection into the central and eastern U.S. will produce
temperatures that are 15-25 degrees above average, particularly for
portions of the Great Plains, Mississippi Valley and Northeast.
Ridging over northern Mexico will keep temperatures in the southern U.S.
relatively warm during this period. Continued troughing in the Northwest
will generate cooler temperatures and some snow showers today and
Wednesday. Snow showers will be confined to the Northern Rockies with a
few inches expected for portions of the Absaroka Range, in particular.
