A powerful storm system will bring heavy rain to the DC metro region from mid-day through much of tonight and significant flooding is on the table. Some spots can receive as much as 2-3 inches of rain and this will be on top of already well-saturated grounds from multiple heavy rain events in recent weeks. In addition to the heavy rainfall, winds will become increasingly strong with potentially damaging gusts to 50 mph or so raising the possibility of broken limbs, downed trees and numerous power outages. Another significant storm system can produce similar conditions around here from late Friday into early Saturday (i.e., heavy rain and strong winds). A third storm system threatens the Mid-Atlantic region during the first half of next week and this time snow will be on the table.

A very active weather pattern will continue this week with two powerhouse storm systems to deal with across much of the nation. The initial storm system will produce lots of snowfall from today into Tuesday in a zone from the central Plains to the Midwest. This same system will produce heavy rain on Tuesday afternoon and Tuesday night in the Mid-Atlantic region and Northeast US with significant flooding on the table. In addition, strong and potentially damaging winds will accompany this first storm system raising the chance of power outages from later tomorrow into Wednesday across the northeastern states.
By the end of the week, another powerful storm system will be taking shape and this one will have more in the way of Arctic air to work with and a blizzard is likely across much of the Midwest with additional heavy rainfall and strong winds destined for the eastern seaboard. The passage of the weekend storm will usher in much colder air for the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast US and signs continue to point to some intense cold possibly moving into the central and eastern US by early next week. In addition, attention will turn to the possibility of yet another storm system to deal with in the eastern states during the early or middle part of next week.

An active weather pattern will result in another storm system impacting the Tennessee Valley with rain and wind. The best chance for moderate to heavy rainfall comes from later this evening into tomorrow morning and winds will be impactful as well with gusts past 40 mph on the table. Rainfall amounts can reach 2-3 inches in some spots raising concerns for localized flash flooding to become a real concern. Another storm system threatens the Tennessee Valley at week’s end and early this weekend with the potential for a similar pattern of high winds and heavy rainfall.

An active weather pattern continues this week across the western US and much of the nation. The start of the work week will be highlighted with lingering snow in the metro region and very windy conditions with the blowing snow reducing visibility in many spots. The weather settles down some by later today and tonight, but temperatures will drop to very cold levels in the middle teens. The second half of the week looks quite unsettled with additional shots of snow and persistent winds. In addition, some intensely cold air will drop southward from western Canada into the northwestern states in coming days and we’ll have to monitor the prospects for its impact here in the Rocky Mountain States.

A powerful storm system will bring heavy rain to the Philly metro region tomorrow afternoon and night and significant flooding is on the table. Some areas can receive a few inches of rain during this upcoming event and this will be on top of already well-saturated grounds from recent heavy rain storms. In addition to the heavy rain, this storm will feature strong and potentially damaging winds that raises the possibility of numerous power outages in the Mid-Atlantic region from later tomorrow into Wednesday. On the front side of the storm, east-to-southeast winds can gust past 50 mph and on the back side (Wednesday), they can gust past 40 mph from a west-to-southwest direction potentially resulting in some downed trees or broken limbs. Another significant storm system can produce similar conditions around here late from late Friday into Saturday.

A powerful storm system will bring heavy rain to the NYC metro region tomorrow afternoon and night and significant flooding is on the table.

The active weather pattern that began in December will continue for the foreseeable future across the eastern half of the nation. A winter storm will impact the Mid-Atlantic region and Northeast US this weekend with significant accumulating snow across interior, higher elevation sections from West Virginia to Massachusetts and a mixture of precipitation in the big cities along the DC-to-Philly-to-NYC corridor. Another storm system will impact the eastern half of the nation in the Tuesday/Wednesday time frame and this one looks like a powerhouse. It is likely to feature very heavy rainfall, interior accumulating snows, and potentially damaging winds with power outages on the table in many states. If that isn’t worrisome enough for next week’s storm, throw in some snow cover from this weekend’s system and flash flooding may become a real concern next Tuesday/Wednesday in those snow-covered areas that do receive heavy rainfall.
Looking ahead, there has been plenty of intense cold in recent weeks on the other side of the North Pole (e.g., China, Scandinavia) and signs continue to point to some intense cold making its way onto the North America side in coming days.

An active weather pattern will produce a couple of systems to monitor in the Tennessee Valley region during the next several days. One system pushes northeastward from the southern states in the short-term likely to produce rain showers in the area from late tonight into mid-day on Saturday. A strong storm can generate showers and thunderstorms across the Tennessee Valley by Monday night and Tuesday of next week and some of this rain can be heavy at times.

The overall pattern remains quite active across the nation and they’ll be additional shots at snow around here going well into next week. A weak system can produce some light snow this evening and then a stronger can generate some accumulating snow from later Sunday into Monday. Finally, there may be a third system to deal with by the middle of next week. Looking ahead, there is the chance that some bitter cold air drops southward from Canada into the western US by the end of next week or subsequent weekend.
