The passage of a warm front will usher in much warmer air for later today and highs will bounce back into the 70’s after a cool end to the weekend. Low pressure pushes this way from the Midwest tonight and a second one will intensify off the coast on Tuesday. This combination will generate rain in the area from late today into Tuesday and some of it will be heavy at times. In addition, there will be the chance for a strong-to-severe thunderstorm from later today into tonight. The coastal low pressure system will meander offshore at mid-week and another then storm could impact our region late in the week. Looking ahead, the overall pattern changes quite dramatically next week - the first week of November - with a quick start to some winter-like cold on the table.

One strong storm system has impacted the west coast states from Washington-to-California in the past 24 hours or so with significant rainfall, but an even stronger storm is likely have an impact from Sunday into Monday. In fact, this next storm could become the strongest system in many years to impact the region from British Columbia (Canada) to California. Rainfall will be excessive with this next storm, winds will be powerful and potentially damaging, and snow will pile up in the higher elevations of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in eastern California. The upper-level support for this system is likely to then cross the country next week and that could result in a mid-week severe weather outbreak and a late week storm near the eastern seaboard.

A cold front will clear through the region this morning and today will turn out a bit cooler than yesterday and the weekend will be on the cool side as well. While there will be some sunshine on each of the next three days, a shower cannot be ruled at times as weak disturbances will pass by. The best chance in awhile for some decent rainfall in the Mid-Atlantic region will come from later Monday into Tuesday as low pressure pushes to the east from the Midwestern states. Elsewhere, a major storm will slam into the US west coast from Sunday into Monday with tremendous amounts of precipitation and also powerful winds and it could translate into a storm near the east coast by the end of next week.

Much of California and the rest of the western US has been experiencing “extreme” or “exceptional” drought conditions in recent weeks, but that could change in a big way in coming days. A very powerful storm will slam into the US west coast from Sunday into Monday and it could generate a foot or more of rain in the northern part of California and heavy snowfall across interior higher elevation locations of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. In addition, winds associated with this monster storm are likely to be excessive and potentially damaging in many spots along the west coast and even inland. This same system is likely to cross the country later next week and it could wind up as a significant east coast storm by week’s end.
