...Great Plains warm up this weekend...

...Several rounds of moderate to locally heavy precipitation to continue
into portions of the Pacific Northwest, Northern Rockies and northern
California this weekend into early next week...

Waves of low pressure will continue bringing moderate to heavy rainfall
and mountain snow to the Northwest CONUS this weekend into early next
week. Locally heavy rainfall may cause isolated instances of flash
flooding along the coastal ranges of the Pacific Northwest this weekend.
Thus, there's a Marginal Risk of Excessive Rainfall leading to Flash
Flooding extending from coastal Washington down to the northern California
coast through Sunday. Between 2-4 inches of rainfall are expected with
locally higher amounts, especially over terrain through the end of the
weekend.

Elsewhere, shortwave energy moving through the Mississippi Valley will
generate light rain/snow showers from the Northern Plains, across the
Great Lakes and into the interior Northeast this weekend. Beneath the
upper troughing over the northern tier will reside high pressure and
southerly flow into the Great Plains. With this comes warmer temperatures
for much of the Central U.S.. High temperatures in the upper 60s to low
80s will be 15-25 degrees above average for the Central/Southern High
Plains. The arrival of one shortwave on the heels of another will support
a quick rebound in temperatures for the Southeast this weekend.
