Short Range Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 259 PM EST Sun Jan 26 2020 Valid 00Z Mon Jan 27 2020 - 00Z Wed Jan 29 2020 ...Multiple storm systems to cause wet and snowy conditions across the Northwest... ...Snow spreads into the Rockies with light wintry weather in parts of the Plains Monday into Tuesday... The Pacific Northwest to the Northern Rockies will not see any substantial break in precipitation over the upcoming days, as Pacific moisture is in place and multiple upper-level disturbances and surface fronts will move through. The coastal ranges and valleys of the Pacific Northwest could see locally heavy rain above 3 inches through Tuesday evening. Higher elevations of the Cascades should see snowfall amounts over a foot, and the Northern Rockies and Wind River Mountains/Tetons may see snow approaching a foot in the higher elevations. As one upper-level disturbance continues southeastward from the Pacific Northwest, precipitation will spread across the Great Basin and Central/Southern Rockies through Monday morning, moving into the High Plains by Monday evening as a low pressure system consolidates. Rain showers are expected for most of Texas, but a wintry mix of light snow and freezing rain is possible for the Texas Panhandle and portions of Oklahoma northward into the Central Plains Monday night into Tuesday. Snow and freezing rain amounts will generally be light. Due to a couple cold fronts associated with this low pressure system, high temperatures on Tuesday could be more than 20 degrees colder than Monday across Oklahoma and northern Texas. Farther east, lake effect snow is expected to continue through Monday night across the Lower Great Lakes region. Additionally, the westerly flow will also cause upslope enhancement of snow for higher elevations of the Central Appalachians and the Green Mountains in particular. The Southeast could see rain showers through Monday with some Gulf moisture, and parts of the Southern Appalachians could experience a wintry mix Sunday night into Monday morning.
