Heavy Rainfall and Flooding in the Southwest and Along the East Coast

A multi-day heavy rainfall event is set to begin across New Mexico into west Texas Tuesday through Wednesday. Flash flooding and debris flows in the vicinity of burn scars will also be possible. A strong coastal low will develop offshore of the Mid-Atlantic coast midweek, bringing heavy rainfall, strong winds and coastal flooding to much of the East Coast through Friday. Read More >

Very mild conditions stretched through October with above normal temperatures extending into early November. Medium to long range forecasts suggest that above normal conditions could play a role through much of November. Despite the mild start to what is typically the cold season, the overall pattern is expected to favor cooler than normal temperatures through the second half of the winter. 

Wetter than normal conditions may continue from fall through the entire winter. Couple the above normal precipitation with below normal temperatures through the late half of the winter season and it could result a rough end to the winter season. The good news is that the warmer start to the winter season could limit snowfall to periodic synoptic (storm systems) snowfall, as opposed to more frequent lake effect snow (snow resulting from cold air passing over the warm lake).
