Gusty Winds in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast; Atmospheric River to Impact the Northwest

Gusty winds are expected from portions of the Mid-Atlantic into the Northeast through the night following the system that brought rain to the area. An atmospheric river will move into the Northwest late today into Saturday bringing moderate to heavy rainfall, mountain snow, windy conditions, and high surf to the area over the weekend.

High pressure will remain southeast of the Four Corners the rest of the weekend and continue drawing subtropical monsoon moisture into southern Colorado and Utah.  Expect an increase in showers and thunderstorms Sunday with gusty outflow winds, small hail and brief heavy rain possible with storms.  The best potential for heavy rain should occur across southeast Utah and southwest Colorado where the better moisture resides and scattered thunderstorms are forecast.  Drier air moves back in Sunday evening and will remain through next week.  Southwest winds aloft will help keep wildfire smoke out of much of the region, with the exception of extreme northeast Utah and northwest Colorado, where a more westerly component will keep the southern edge of the smoke in this region.
