...Cooler temperatures and beneficial precipitation expected early this
week across the Pacific Northwest and the Northern Rockies...

...Very warm weather including some record high temperatures can be
expected along with dry conditions for much of the Central and Eastern
U.S. through the middle of the week...

...Some rain to begin impacting parts of the South by Thursday...

A series of cold fronts and the inland advance of Pacific moisture will
maintain unsettled and generally wet conditions across the Pacific
Northwest and into the Northern Rockies going through Tuesday. Locally
heavy rainfall is expected for the lower elevations including the coastal
ranges for Washington and Oregon, but there will be some locally heavy
accumulating snowfall for the higher terrain of the Cascades. The advance
of colder temperatures inland across the West will also help to facilitate
some accumulating snow for the higher terrain of the northern Sierra
Nevada and the Northern Rockies.

Farther east across many areas of the Central and Southern Plains,
Mid-South, and the Ohio Valley, increasingly warm temperatures will be the
big story for the next few days as some temperatures reach as high as 15
to 25 degrees above normal with high temperatures locally reaching well
into the 70s and 80s. These temperatures will likely be warm enough to
break some daily high temperature records. Dry weather will continue in
the near-term which will continue to aggravate the ongoing drought
situation for many locations across the Central and Southern U.S. However,
as the upstream cold fronts over the West begin to eject east out into the
Plains by midweek, some increasing moisture ahead of it from the Gulf of
Mexico will set the stage for some showers and thunderstorms to break out
across areas of the South by Thursday.

Elsewhere, generally cooler temperatures and some light precipitation
including a mix of some rain, freezing rain, and light snow can be
expected for portions of the far Northern Plains, Upper Great Lakes and
northern New England heading through the middle of the week as a series of
cold fronts cross the region along with nearby waves of low pressure.
