...Warm to record breaking temperatures from Southern High Plains to
Southeast today will give way to cooler conditions late this week...

...Post-frontal rain develops across Southern Plains and Lower Mississippi
Valley on Thursday...

...Storm system brings rain and snow to the Pacific Northwest beginning
Thursday night...

Balmy conditions persist across the Southern Plains and Mississippi Valley
today as warm, moisture air advects northward. Daily highs ranging from
the 70s to 80s will represent 20-30 degree departures from normal. Several
locations from the Southern Plains eastward to the Central/Southern
Appalachians could reach or exceed daily maximum temperature records while
much of the Central/Southern Appalachians and Ohio Valley will also tie or
break daily minimum records as clouds associated with a strong cold front
overtake the area tonight. Cooler air will punch into the Great Plains
behind an advancing cold front on Thursday before spreading east into the
Mississippi Valley, Midwest and Mid-Atlantic Thursday night into Friday.
The cold front finally pushes through the Southeast this weekend.
Temperatures will return to near seasonal normal.

The aforementioned low pressure system and attendant cold front will
promote post-frontal rainfall and scattered thunderstorms over parts of
the Southern Plains and Lower Mississippi Valley beginning Thursday
afternoon and continuing into Friday. Accumulations of 1 to 2 inches are
forecast for the ArkLaTex region however the amounts are not expected to
cause flash flooding concerns at this time. The swath of precipitation
will align near the frontal boundary from Texas to the Central Gulf Coast
states on Friday. Elsewhere, snow showers spread south through the Rockies
today. Shortwave energy will bring rain/snow showers to the Pacific
Northwest beginning Thursday night.
