Additional Snow Showers for NY

General Overview: SIGNIFICANT WINTER WEATHER THREATS ACROSS THE EASTERN THIRD OF THE NATION WITH FREEZING RAIN POSSIBLE FROM THE MID-ATLANTIC INTO THE TENNESSEE VALLEY. RAIN AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL IMPACT THE GULF COAST REGION WHILE MIXED PRECIPITATION AFFECTS THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST. BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES WILL DOMINATE THE CENTRAL STATES WITH WARMING EXPECTED IN THE WEST LATER IN THE PERIOD.

EAST:  A complex winter weather pattern will affect the eastern United States over the next several days. An area of low-pressure will track across the Eastern US on Monday with rain spreading across the southeast and snow expanding into the Great Lakes. The system will continue to track eastward on Tuesday with snow pushing into the Northeast and a wintry mix of rain, snow, and possibly freezing rain across the Mid-Atlantic. By Wednesday and Thursday, high pressure will bring drier conditions to most areas, with snow pushing into the Northeast. Additional areas of rain will push across the southeast by late in the week, with drier conditions returning across northern portions of the Eastern US.

Temperature Anomalies:

-Days 1-3: Near to slightly below normal temperatures across most of the region, with the coldest anomalies (3-6°F below normal) in the interior Northeast and northern Appalachians.

-Days 4-6: Moderating temperatures with near normal readings returning to most areas except for continued below normal temperatures in the northern portions of the region.

-Days 7-10: Generally near normal temperatures prevailing across the East, with slightly below normal conditions persisting in New England and slightly above normal readings possible in the Southeast.

CENTRAL:  Initially, an organized system brings potential for freezing rain across Arkansas and portions of the Mid-Mississippi Valley, with snow forecast further north and rain showers forecast south of this line. Through the middle of the week, periods of snow will become possible across the North/Central Plains and Midwest. The Southern Plains will see rain and thunderstorms, particularly along the Gulf Coast of Texas and Louisiana. By the late week, expect rain chances to persist for Gulf areas, with drier conditions elsewhere.

Temperature Anomalies:

-Days 1-3: Significantly below normal temperatures (6-12°F below average) across the Northern and Central Plains into the Midwest, with the coldest anomalies centered on Iowa, Nebraska, and the Dakotas.

-Days 4-6: Continued below normal temperatures across most of the region, with the coldest anomalies shifting slightly eastward into the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes.

-Days 7-10: Persistent below normal temperatures across the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest, gradually moderating toward normal in the Southern Plains by day 10.

WEST:  The Western United States will see a variable weather pattern with several systems affecting the Pacific Northwest and Intermountain West. Today, low pressure systems along the West Coast bring additional precipitation to the Pacific Northwest, with mixed precipitation extending inland. The Southwest will remain generally dry under high pressure influence. As the week progresses, low pressure develops in the North/ Central Rockies, bringing snow chances to the region. Late in the week, high pressure builds across the Western states, leading to drier conditions for most areas except for lingering precipitation in the Pacific Northwest.

Temperature Anomalies:

-Days 1-3: Near normal temperatures for most of the region with slightly below normal readings in the Pacific Northwest and Northern Rockies.

-Days 4-6: Warming trend begins with above normal temperatures (3-6°F above average) developing across the Southwest and Great Basin, while the Pacific Northwest remains near normal.

-Days 7-10: Above normal temperatures (3-6°F above average) expand across much of the West, particularly in the Southwest, Great Basin, and portions of the Pacific Northwest.
