Northwest of the heavy rains, drought and dryness expanded in some spots in Arkansas and in parts of the Upper Great Lakes and Midwest, as short-term precipitation shortfalls grew amid lowering streamflows and soil moisture. Widespread improvements to drought conditions occurred with these heavier rains, though they were somewhat tempered by ongoing long-term precipitation deficits in some areas. Widespread moderate to heavy rain fell with showers and thunderstorms from southeast Texas across much of the Southeast into the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions. Aside from parts of the Rockies in Colorado and southeast Idaho and northwest Wyoming, mainly drier weather occurred from the southwest United States through the Great Plains and Upper Midwest. While precipitation amounts were hefty, improvements to drought were primarily confined to lower elevation areas, given the higher snow levels with this system. The difference in temperature between Monday and the weekend’s above average December temperatures will be most stark from the Southeast to Northeast.Heavy precipitation fell this week across parts of the Pacific Northwest, associated with an atmospheric river. It’ll be much chillier on Monday across the eastern half of the country in the wake of the storm. Rainy, windy weather will come to an end in New York City by Monday afternoon while gusty winds slowly subside elsewhere in the Northeast, except for in New England. The storm will start to push off the East Coast on Monday, but rain and snow will continue across much of New England and parts of upstate New York through the afternoon before tapering off in the evening. Portions of New England could change over to a wintry mix of rain, snow and freezing rain late Sunday night and continue for a time on Monday.Įxact changeover times and snow amounts will depend on how quickly cold air can rush into the region. Taken together, these two forecasts provide a good idea of how much snow could fall this weekend. Model forecast snow accumulation is shown for two different weather models. Gusts will crank even higher and reach up to 60 mph at times Sunday night in New England and coastal portions of New York and New Jersey. Widespread gusts of 40 to 50 mph will buffet the mid-Atlantic and Northeast. Wind gusts from the storm will be quite a bit stronger on Sunday compared to Saturday and could knock out power and disrupt travel. ![]() The storm will reach its maximum strength by the afternoon as it expands and engulfs much of the East. Gusty winds will also accompany any rainfall, even outside of thunderstorms.Ī thin stripe of accumulating snow is possible on Saturday from Wisconsin to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, but this will be mostly a rain event for much of the Midwest. Fortunately, the storm is likely to move along at a brisk pace that will keep rainfall totals from skyrocketing, but any drenching rainfall could cause flooding issues. Rain will become steady as the day progresses and could become heavy at times, especially across the South. Rain will begin in the earliest hours of Saturday across portions of the Midwest and Mississippi Valley and spread east throughout the day. A slight risk, or Level 2 of 5, for severe thunderstorms is forecast for portions of Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas and Mississippi, especially by Saturday afternoon.Īs chances for damaging thunderstorms increase Saturday afternoon, the storm will also spread rain across a wide portion of the country from the Gulf Coast to the Midwest. Some of these thunderstorms could become severe and deliver damaging wind gusts and hail. ![]() The main thunderstorm event will kick off across portions of the South by Saturday morning as a cold front associated with the storm cuts east across the region. Thunderstorms will rumble to life Friday night with a small window in which isolated severe thunderstorms could develop in parts of Oklahoma, Arkansas and Texas, ahead of Saturday’s threat to the south. ![]() Severe thunderstorms are possible in portions of the South on Saturday.
