Northeast precipitation will be confined to a few passing showers across parts of Upstate New York and some morning rain along coastal Maine. Sunday will be mostly sunny across the region. Despite slightly cooler air behind a front, high temperatures will remain above average reaching the 60s from West Virginia to Maine and the 70s from Virginia to southern New England. Sunday and Monday will see mild highs ranging from the 60s in Maine to the 70s and lower 80s in the Virginias, 10 to 15 degrees above average. |
| West Regional Video The Pacific Northwest will be chilly and unsettled with showers and mountain snow from Washington, Oregon and the northern half of California to Montana, Wyoming and Utah on Saturday as a cold front moves inland. Snow levels will lower to 3500 feet in the Cascades and 4000 feet in the northern Rockies by Saturday evening. Snow will reach the Colorado Mountains by Sunday. High temperatures will range from the 30s, 40s and 50s across the Northwest to the lower 90s in the Desert Southwest. After a relatively warm Saturday, Denver will feel temperatures moving dramatically downward on Sunday with highs remaining in the 30s. Snow showers are also likely. High pressure will build in over the West this weekend and a strong offshore flow will develop over Southern California. Santa Ana winds will howl (possibly late Saturday; but especially Sunday and Monday. Humidity levels 10% at times and gusts in the passes and canyons could reach the 60-to-80-mph range. Highs will be well up into the 80s. The fire danger will be extremely high. Transportation will be hampered by blowing dust and visibilities may be down to zero at times. |
| Midwest Regional Video After a volatile few days, most of the Midwest will enjoy a pleasant weekend. An approaching front will bring a few showers into the Dakotas and northwest Minnesota while a few showers linger around northern Michigan. Highs on Saturday will range from the 50s along the Canadian border to the 70s and 80s in Kansas and Missouri and possibly a few lower 90s in southwest Kansas. The new cold front from out of northern Plains will advance eastward Sunday and Monday and showers will spread eastward from the Plains to the Midwest. There is a chance that an area of low pressure will stall around the Missouri area by Monday and keep rain showers around for awhile across the Midwest. Behind the front, the Plains will be quite cool and windy with highs (5 to 20 degrees below average) in the 40s and 50s Sunday and Monday. |
| South Regional Video Although many areas could use more rain, much of the South will be dry and pleasant this weekend. High temperatures Saturday will be 10 to 20 degrees above average across the southern Plains. Most of the region will be in the 80s with 70s in the vicinity of the southern Appalachians and some low 90s in western Oklahoma and the western and southern counties of Texas. A cold front and developing low-pressure area will sweep from the Oklahoma-Texas panhandles Sunday morning into the lower Mississippi River Valley Monday, sparking a new round rain and thunderstorms by Monday. It remains to be seen if this storm system will stall over the southern Plains and produce significant rain across parts of the South or continue to move eastward resulting in lesser amounts of rain. High temperatures will be a chilly 10 to 20 degrees below average behind the front but still a little above average ahead of it. |
