On Monday evening, a storm just off the Carolina Coast will move
northeastward into the Canadian Maritimes by Tuesday evening. As a result,
light rain will develop over parts of the Southeast to the Southern New
England Coast. Light snow will start over parts of Maine on Monday evening
and become heavy snow over northern Maine by Tuesday. Most of the light
rain will end along the East Coast on Tuesday evening. However, the rain
will continue over Florida through late Wednesday night. By Tuesday
evening, wrap-around moisture will produce light snow over other parts of
the Northeast. Additionally, the rain along the Maine Coast will end
overnight Tuesday and the snow by Wednesday afternoon.

Meanwhile, a dissipating Clipper System over Eastern Canada into the
Central Appalachians will produce light snow over parts of the Great Lakes
into parts of the Central Appalachians through Tuesday afternoon. On
Tuesday, a new Clipper System developing over the Northern
Rockies/Northern Plain will move into the Great Lakes by Wednesday
morning. The system will produce light snow over parts of the Northern
Plains into the Upper Great Lakes on Tuesday evening and snow over the
Great Lakes on Wednesday. Furthermore, upper-level energy will move over
the Northern High Plains/Northern Rockies, aiding in producing scattered
light snow over parts of the Northern High Plains and Northern Rockies by
Wednesday evening.

Elsewhere, weak upper-level ridging will aid in warming up parts of the
Plains and the Mississippi Valley, 15 to 25 degrees above average.
However, the warm temperatures, dry fuels, and strong wind will produce
favorable conditions for fire spread. Therefore, on Monday evening, the
SPC has issued an Elevated Risk of fire weather over parts of the Northern
High Plains. On Tuesday, the Elevated Risk of fire weather will move into
the Central Plains. Lastly, weak onshore flow will aid in producing light
rain over parts of the Pacific Northwest from early Wednesday morning into
Wednesday evening.
