The Weather Man Podcast, I talk about weather!

Lots of rain mid atlantic and northeast ...finally the storm moves away on Tuesday with nice weather for Mid week

Rain PAC NW , t-storms and Rain Florida and southern great lakes, Ophelia finally leaving the east

.A Pacific storm system pushing into the West Coast will bring locally
heavy rain near the coast, and heavy high elevation snowfall into the
Intermountain West over the next couple of days...
Hard hitting storm system to produce accumulating snowfall across the
Great Lakes today and into the Interior Northeast Thursday night and
Friday morning.
.Next round of snow expected to quickly spread from the central Plains
and Ohio Valley on Friday, then into the Central Appalachians and
Mid-Atlantic Friday night into Saturday morning...
A Pacific storm system is ushering in a stream of precipitation into the
West Coast and Intermountain West the next couple days. Meanwhile, a
sufficiently cold air-mass anchored in place by high pressure over
southwest Canada will force a frontal boundary to remain stationary over
the central and northern Rockies through Friday. Coastal areas of the
Pacific Northwest and the valleys of the Intermountain West can expect
periods of rain, while mountain ranges such as the Oregon Cascades, the
Olympics in western Washington, and on east into the heart of the Northern
Rockies witness heavy snow today.
To the east, a low pressure system tracking through the Great Lakes today
is generating showers to the south of its track, while a swath of
moderate-to-heavy snow envelopes southern Wisconsin and northern Michigan.
This storm system is quite progressive, quickly finding itself tracking
over Lake Ontario by Thursday evening. Showers are likely in the central
Appalachians, while periods of snow ensue over the Interior Northeast. By
Thursday night, northwesterly winds escorting in a cold, Canadian air-mass
will rush over the Great Lakes and trigger lake effect snow showers
downwind of Lakes Erie and Ontario Thursday night and linger into the day
on Friday. Snow showers will linger across parts of New England on Friday,
but gradually dissipate as the storm tracks farther into the northwest
Atlantic. In total, over 6 inches of snow is expect in parts of the
Michigan U.P., the northern half of Michigan's Mitten, and across northern
New York. More specifically, the Tug Hill Plateau and neighboring
locations could see over a foot of snow by the time snow concludes Friday
morning. In addition, gusty winds are also an impact from this storm
system, as evident by the Wind Advisories in place over northern Ohio for
today and both western and the Southern Tier of New York between Thursday
afternoon and Friday morning.
By Thursday night, a new wave of low pressure will be taking shape over
the Central Plains with a swath of moderate-to-heavy snow setting up over
northern Nebraska and southern South Dakota. The storm tracks quickly into
the mid-Mississippi river Valley by late Friday morning with periods
anticipated across northern Missouri and central Illinois, while rain
showers and isolated thunderstorms make for a damp day from the ArkLaTex
on east into the Tennessee Valley by Friday afternoon. By Friday night,
the storm will restrengthen as it reaches the Mid-Atlantic with an axis of
moderate-to-heavy snow bringing light snowfall accumulations to the Ohio
Valley Friday evening, then over the northern Mid-Atlantic Friday night
into early Saturday morning. The Potomac Highlands of West Virginia and
Allegheny Mountains from western Maryland to south-central Pennsylvania
have the best chances of seeing snowfall totals surpass 4 inches Friday
night, but anywhere from 1-3" of snow is possible from the mid-Mississippi
Valley on Friday and the Ohio Valley Friday evening, to the DC/Baltimore
metro areas on north to the Philadelphia metro area early Saturday
morning. Some hazardous travel is possible in portions of these regions,
particularly on untreated roads Friday night into Saturday

Fast moving areas of low pressures to produce widespread accumulating
snows across the Central Plains, Mid Mississippi Valley, Ohio Valley,
Central Appalachians, Mid Atlantic, Northern New York and New England...
Heavy precipitation to move into Northern to Central California on
Saturday.
Heavy rains possible for South Texas...
Below average temperatures to spread southeast from the Northern
Plains.
Active Lake effect snows downwind of the Great Lakes Friday and
Saturday.
Two fast moving areas of low pressure pushing from west to east will be
producing widespread areas of accumulating snows across large portions of
the Lower 48. The lead area of low pressure will be moving eastward
tonight from the eastern Lakes region, across northern NY State and into
New England. This system will produce a brief period of snow, with
accumulations of several inches from northern New York State into portions
of central to northern New England. In the wake of this system, cold air
moving across the relatively warm and ice free Great Lakes will support
widespread lake effect snow showers downwind of the Great Lakes. Locally
heavy snowfall totals possible in the favored lake effect areas across the
Upper Peninsula of Michigan and across portions of north central to
northwest New York State, to the east of Lake Ontario.
This first fast moving area of low pressure will be followed by a second
moving quickly east northeast from the Southern Plains Friday, into the
Tennessee Valley Friday night and off the Mid-Atlantic coast early
Saturday. An area of snow will develop well to the north of the surface
low track, with accumulating snows possible from portions of the Central
Plains. east into the Mid Mississippi Valley, Ohio Valley, Central
Appalachians and Mid-Atlantic. The fast movement of this system will a
detriment to heavy totals, with generally 1 to 3 inches of accumulation
forecast across these areas, with isolated heavier totals possible.
Below average temperatures will be spreading south and southeastward from the
Northern Plains/Upper Mississippi Valley. This will produce a below
average temperature day on Friday across the Northern to Central Plains
and Upper Mississippi Valley, with these below average temperatures
spreading south into the Southern Plains and eastward into the Middle to
Lower Mississippi Valley, Ohio and Tennessee Valleys on Saturday. While
these colder than average temperatures are a departure from recent warmth
across this regions, the cold shot will be short lived with temperatures
warming from west to east late in the weekend and into next week.
The current stormy pattern across the eastern Pacific will be pressing
eastward on Friday into Saturday, with heavy precipitation pushing back
into Northern to Central California on Saturday. This precipitation is
the beginning of a wetter pattern for California, with additional heavy
precipitation likely for much of California for the beginning of next
week. The first round of heavy precipitation does have the potential to
produce isolated flash flooding across the central to northern California
coastal regions. The additional heavy rains slated for early next week
will also pose a flash flood threat, with this threat pushing farther to
the south into central to southern California.
An expanding area of rain also likely to develop Thursday night/early
Friday morning across South Texas, persisting into the day on Saturday.
This rainfall will also push east northeastward Friday into Saturday along
the northern Gulf coast and into North Florida. The heaviest totals
expected for South Texas where rainfall accumulations of 1 to 3 inches are
possible.

Heavy snow over parts of the Central Appalachians/northern
Mid-Atlantic, PHILADELPHIA AND NYC
Lake-effect snow over parts of the Great Lakes and snow over the
Pacific Northwest to the Central Rockies and Sierra Nevada Mountains.
There is a Slight Risk of excessive rainfall over parts of California
from Saturday into Sunday.
A wave of low pressure over the Ohio Valley will move northeastward off
the Mid-Atlantic Coast by Saturday morning. The system will create snow
over the Middle Mississippi Valley/Ohio Valley and heavy snow over parts
of the Central Appalachians and northern Mid-Atlantic from Friday evening
into Saturday morning. The snow will result in reduced visibility and
hazardous driving conditions. The snow will linger over parts of the
Central Appalachians/northern Mid-Atlantic through Saturday evening.
Moreover, showers and thunderstorms will develop over parts of the
Southern Ohio/Tennessee/Lower Mississippi Valleys, ending on Saturday. The
showers and thunderstorms will move into parts of the Southeast overnight,
Friday through Sunday.
Furthermore, upper-level energy moving over the Great Lakes into the
Northeast will produce lake-effect snow downwind from the Great Lakes,
with the heaviest amounts over the eastern UP of Michigan and northwestern
LP of Michigan. Other areas of heavier snow will be downwind from Lakes
Erie and Ontario. The snow will continue through Sunday. The snow will
result in reduced visibility and hazardous driving conditions.
Additionally, upper-level energy over the Northern Rockies will aid in
creating snow over parts of the Great Basin and the Central Rockies
through early Saturday morning. On Saturday morning, snow will develop
over parts of the Central/Southern High Plains, ending by Saturday
evening. The snow will result in reduced visibility and hazardous driving
conditions.
Meanwhile, a front off-shore from the West Coast will move onshore and
dissipate by Saturday evening. Upper-level energy associated with the
dying front moves over the Pacific Northwest, producing rain and
higher-elevation snow from early Saturday morning through Sunday. Snow
will also develop overnight Saturday into Sunday over parts of the
Northern Intermountain Region.
In addition, on Saturday, rain and higher-elevation snow will develop over
parts of Northern/Central California. Further, a plume of moisture will
stream into California on Saturday, producing areas of heavy rain.
Therefore, the WPC has issued a Slight Risk of excessive rainfall over
parts of Northern California from Saturday into Sunday morning. The
associated heavy rain will create mainly localized areas of flash
flooding, with urban areas, roads, small streams, and burn scars the most
vulnerable.
On Sunday, the plume of moisture will move over Southern California,
producing heavy rain from Northern California to Southern California.
Therefore, the WPC has issued a Slight Risk of excessive rainfall over
parts of Northern California to Southern California on Sunday. The
associated heavy rain will create mainly localized areas of flash
flooding, with urban areas, roads, small streams, and burn scars the most
vulnerable.
