Pacific Storm System Moves Inland; Strong Storm in Alaska

A Pacific storm system will bring low elevation/valley rain and mountain snow as it moves inland to the central Great Basin through the central Rockies through Thursday. Scattered thunderstorms are likely from California into the Great Basin. A large low pressure system continues to bring snow, blizzard conditions, damaging winds, and mixed precipitation along the Bering Sea and Southwest Alaska. Read More >

Our warm-up continues through the weekend. We should see plenty of sunshine over the next several days, with a few low chances of precipitation (10-30%) Thursday and again late Saturday/early Sunday. A rain/snow mix is possible Thursday, but ground temperatures should be too warm to allow any snow to stick and cause travel impacts. Temperatures look to warm even further by mid-week next week, with highs possibly reaching the 60 mark for some.
February warmth appears likely to continue into next week, with a strong signal of above normal temperatures across the central U.S. Temps are likely to be as much as 10-20 degrees above normal for mid-February. If you’ve been enjoying the warmer than average temperatures lately, there looks to be more on the way!
