Powerful low pressure system to continue producing gusty winds and
heavy rain across parts of the Great Lakes, Ohio Valley, Northeast, and
Appalachians through tonight
Lower elevation rain and mountain snow to enter California on
Saturday.
Well above average temperatures forecast to surge into the
northern/central Plains this weekend.
A deep low pressure system churning over southeast Ontario, Canada this
afternoon is responsible for widespread shower activity extending from the
Great Lakes and upper Ohio Valley to New England. Additional heavy rain is
possible through tonight across New England and parts of Upstate New York.
Isolated instances of flash flooding are possible, especially where recent
snowmelt has led to elevated river levels and saturated soil. Flood
Watches and Warnings are in effect for parts of northern New Hampshire and
western/central Maine. Additionally, a few thunderstorms are possible and
could turn severe over eastern New York and western New England. A tight
pressure gradient is also producing gusty winds surrounding the storm
system. Wind Advisories are in effect for parts of the Great Lakes, Ohio
Valley, and Appalachians due to the potential for wind gusts up to 50 mph.
As the system exits deeper into Canada on Saturday, rain could change to
snow over parts of northern Pennsylvania and New York, with winds
gradually waning.
For the West Coast, an approaching storm system is expected to spread
lower elevation rain and high elevation snow to California beginning
tonight. Rain could be heavy enough at times along the central and
southern coastal ranges to produce isolated flooding concerns. The Sierra
Nevada and northern California mountain ranges could see upwards of 6 to
12 inches of snowfall. Meanwhile, gusty winds are forecast to develop over
the high desert regions of eastern California and Nevada on Saturday,
where High Wind Warnings, Watches, and Wind Advisories are in effect. As
the system weakens and pushes inland across the Intermountain West on
Sunday, showers and thunderstorms are possible across the northern Great
Basin.
Outside of areas experiencing rain showers (West Coast and Northeast)
early this weekend, well above average temperatures are forecast to
dominate the second weekend of April. High temperatures 20 to 30 degrees
above average are anticipated across much of the Plains and Upper Midwest,
with the highest anomalies centered over the north-central United States.
This equates to widespread afternoon highs into the upper 70s and 80s. Low
90s could also be felt throughout parts of the central and southern Plains
by Sunday.
