Weekend Weather Outlook

Multiple weather systems wreak havoc on parts of the Eastern U.S. and Northwest this weekend, while dry and unseasonably mild weather dominates across the Southwest.
Today
The eastern half of the U.S. will be under the influence of two weather systems to start the weekend. The low pressure system bringing rain to the Northeast and Great Lakes on Thursday and Friday will finally drift away from the U.S. towards the Atlantic side of Canada. However, it will still squeeze out some moisture as it departs. Occasional rain showers are likely for much of the day across the interior Northeast. The tallest elevations could also see some wet snow or a rain/snow mix.
The other will be an upper-level weather system moving from the nation’s midsection into the East. There is not a significant amount of moisture with this system. However, spotty showers will be found across the Midwest and Deep South as a result. The best chance for any showers will be in the afternoon and evening.
On the opposite side of the nation, a low pressure system and cold front will come barreling into the Northwest. Rain will soak the Northwest throughout the day, with some showers spreading east and south into the northern Rockies and northern California late in the day. The higher elevations of the Cascades could be seeing some wintry weather. Expect wet snow or a rain/snow mix here, but some light freezing rain cannot be ruled out.
High pressure will control the weather throughout the rest of the U.S. Expect dry, quiet weather across much of California into the Great Basin and Four Corners states. The northern Plains, as well as the Southeast, should also be free of weather concerns.
The Cascades and Rockies, the northern/central Plains, much of the Midwest, the Northeast and the Appalachian Spine will have the coldest temperatures today. Here, high temperatures will generally be in the 40s and 50s. The tallest elevations will only see 30s, while the lowest elevations could see the mercury climb into the lower 60s.
Expect milder 60s and 70s for the rest of the U.S., including most of California, the Great Basin, Southwest, southern Plains, Gulf Coast and Southeast. A few spots in far southern Texas and far southern Florida could see isolated highs in the 80s, with widespread 80s and a few lower 90s for the deserts in the Southwest.
Sunday
The large upper-level weather system from today will continue to advance east on Sunday, fully moving through the Eastern U.S. Rain showers will be likely from the Tennessee Valley into the Mid-Atlantic for much of the day as a result. A few rain showers could also be found in southern portions of the Northeast as well as Florida.
Meanwhile, the low pressure system in the Northwest will drift across south-central Canada for the conclusion of the weekend. The cold front associated with it will be stretched from the north-central U.S. into the Northwest. Rain and mountain snow will be in the forecast for much of the day throughout the Northwest and northern Rockies. Though, the best time for any precipitation will be in the morning and afternoon. Rain showers will also push into the northern Plains and Great Lakes during the afternoon and evening.
Like today, high pressure will keep the weather dry across the Southwest on Sunday. The south-central U.S. will also be dry under high pressure.
Highs will once again be in the 40s and 50s for the Midwest, Northeast and Appalachian Spine, with 30s possible in the higher elevations. The Northwest, Rockies and northern Plains will also experience 40s and 50s, with 30s across the tallest peaks of the Cascades and the northern Rockies. Sixties and 70s will be in the forecast for the Southwest, central/southern Plains, Gulf Coast and Southeast. Isolated 80s are possible again for southern Texas and southern Florida, while the Desert Southwest bakes in the 80s and lower 90s.
