Rain Showers Today

General Overview: RAIN AND SNOW CHANCES ARE LIKELY INTO THE CENTRAL/EASTERN REGIONS TODAY. INCREASING RAIN CHANCES ARE EXPECTED THROUGHOUT THE WEEK ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL. INCREASING ACTIVITY ACROSS THE NORTHWEST INTO NEXT WEEK WITH A POTENTIAL APPROACHING SYSTEM. 

EAST: A high pressure system will dominate much of the eastern seaboard initially, providing generally dry conditions today. A disturbance will bring some rain/snow activity across portions of the Ohio Valley/Mid-Atlantic into the mid-week. Additional activity chances return by late week, with some snow chances across the northeast in relation to a clipper system. By early next week, additional snow chances across northeast become possible with an additional clipper system. 

Temperature Anomalies:

-Days 1-3: Near normal to slightly below normal temperatures across much of the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, with slightly cooler conditions developing across the Great Lakes region.

-Days 4-6: Warming trend begins with above normal temperatures spreading across the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, with anomalies of 4-8°F above normal, particularly across the Carolinas, Virginia, and West Virginia. Near normal to slightly below normal temperatures are likely across the northeast with anomalies of 2-6 degrees possible. 

-Days 7-10: Moderating temperatures with generally near normal to slightly above normal conditions (1-3°F above normal) across most of the region, with the warmest anomalies remaining in the Southeast. Below normal temperatures are possible across the northeast, with anomalies of 5-10 degrees. 

CENTRAL: A disturbance will bring additional rain/snow chances across eastern areas throughout the day today. Increasing rain chances are likely with a low-pressure system across southern areas by mid-week, continuing into the late week. Drier conditions will be dominant for most throughout the weekend, with an additional disturbance bringing additional rain chances across southern areas. 

Temperature Anomalies:

-Days 1-3: Significantly above normal temperatures across the Southern Plains and South Central states, with anomalies of 6-12°F above normal, particularly across Oklahoma and Texas.

-Days 4-6: Continued very warm conditions with temperature anomalies peaking at 8-12°F above normal across Arkansas, Oklahoma, and surrounding areas. The warm anomaly expands northward into the Central Plains.

-Days 7-10: Gradual moderation of temperatures with anomalies decreasing to 2-5°F above normal across most of the region by the end of the period.

WEST: Some snow chances continue across the northwest today, with increasing shower and thunderstorm chances continuing across the southwest through remainder of the week. Into the weekend, a clipper system may allow for additional rain/snow chances to return across portions of the Northwest. Drier conditions are expected elsewhere. By early next week, a system may push onshore, bringing increasing rain/snow chances to the northwest once again. 

Temperature Anomalies:

-Days 1-3: Generally above normal temperatures across much of the West, particularly the Rockies and Intermountain regions with anomalies of 3-6°F above normal. Near normal temperatures along the immediate Pacific Coast. Below normal temperatures are expected across the southwest, with anomalies of 8-16 degrees below normal. 

-Days 4-6: Continued mild conditions with above normal temperatures persisting across most of the region, though slightly cooler air begins to filter into the Pacific Northwest. Below normal temperatures continue across the southwest, with anomalies of 6-12 degrees. 

-Days 7-10: Temperatures trend closer to normal across most of the region, with slight below normal readings possible in parts of the Pacific Northwest by the end of the period.

TROPICAL: No tropical cyclone activity is expected during the next 7 days in either the Atlantic or Eastern Pacific basins.
