A very cold air mass will flood the northeastern states at the end of the upcoming weekend and next week looks very cold on average across the eastern 2/3rds of the nation. Map courtesy ECMWF, weathermodels.com (Dr. Ryan Maue, X)
Overview
A major storm system will pound the western states during the next couple of days and it will then trek across the nation and wreak havoc in the eastern states this weekend. In California, the rainfall in coming days will be heavy all along low-lying coastal sections from Oregon to the Mexican border, and snowfall will be measured by the foot in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. By the early part of the upcoming weekend, this same storm system will bring flooding rainfall to the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys and then significant snow is likely on Sunday across interior New York State and New England.
In the Mid-Atlantic region, there will be plenty of rainfall this weekend; however, it is likely to be preceded on the front-end by snow and accumulations are possible; especially, to the north of the PA/MD border. Cold air will pour into the eastern states following this weekend storm system and next week is indeed looking very cold across the eastern two-thirds of the nation. Low pressure is likely to gather strength in the southern states by the middle of next week aided by an influx of Gulf moisture and it could become a significant east coast storm threat by later Wednesday or Thursday.
A major storm will impact the western US during the next couple of days with significant rainfall in low-lying coastal sections and substantial snowfall in higher elevation locations. In fact, the snow will be measured by the foot in coming days across the Sierra Nevada Mountains of eastern California and substantial snow will fall in many of the Rocky Mountain States.
