Short Range Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 222 AM EST Thu Nov 30 2017 Valid 12Z Thu Nov 30 2017 - 12Z Sat Dec 02 2017 ...More light to moderate rain/snow for the Pacific Northwest... ...Above average temperatures to continue for most of the lower 48... The continental US will be awash in Pacific air while the looming cold of the imminent winter will stay confined to our neighbors to the north. One weather system will move eastward off the east coast early tomorrow bringing light rain or snow (near the Canadian border) to areas east of the Mississippi River today. Back to the west, yet another in a series of systems will push into Washington and Oregon later today. Modest rain is expected for coastal Washington with more snow for the Cascades and Olympics. In between these two systems, temperatures will be mild for the end of November -- 40s/50s to the north are about 10-20 degrees above average. The four corners region and the Southeast will also see mild temperatures about 5-15 degrees above average today. For Friday, the first day of December, the system in the northwest will move quickly eastward through the Plains with little precipitation. Another mild day is likely for the Dakotas through the central Plains. For Washington/Oregon another system will move into the region with more rain for the valleys and a fresh accumulation of snow for the mountains. This system should be more robust than the preceding one today. Elsewhere, only light/scattered showers are possible in the U.P. of Michigan and in the southeast as the cold front stalls across northern Florida and southern Georgia.
