Short Range Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 202 PM EST Mon Nov 6 2017 Valid 00Z Tue Nov 7 2017 - 00Z Thu Nov 9 2017 ...Winter-like conditions continue across the northern tier and rain for the southern states... The warm temperatures and high humidity that have been experienced lately for many areas will become in short supply across the continental U.S. as a strong cold front slowly moves southward towards the Gulf Coast. A sprawling high pressure ridge from Canada will infiltrate much of the central and northern states with temperatures feeling more like winter than November. High temperatures are expected to remain below freezing from Montana to northern Michigan through the middle of the week, with some locations having overnight lows in the single digits. Recent snowfall over much of this region is helping to maintain the unseasonably cold temperatures. Some additional snow will be possible across parts of the Rockies through Wednesday. With the cold front tracking across Texas, the Deep south, and the southeast U.S., expect a swath of light to moderate rain to accompany it, with some instances of heavier rainfall approaching an inch. Given the relative lack of instability and wind shear, thunderstorms will likely be limited in coverage across this region. Another area that will likely get some precipitation is northern California to western Washington with the slow approach of a storm system offshore on Wednesday. D.
