Detailed Summary:

High pressure over the Rockies ushers cold air over the Southern Plains, allowing low temperatures 
in the upper-teens to low-thirties on Monday morning. As a result, an area of Much Below Normal 
Temperatures is over Texas for Monday. The temperatures will start to moderate over the region on 
Tuesday as the high moves southward into Mexico. However, a part of the high over the Plains on 
Monday will move to the Ohio Valley by Tuesday morning. Tuesday morning, the low temperatures will 
be in the low-teens to the single digits. Likewise, the temperatures will moderate on Wednesday as 
the high moves over the Southeast. Therefore, a region of Much Below Normal Temperatures is on the 
Hazards Chart for Tuesday.

Meanwhile, an area of low pressure off the northeast coast of Florida will move northeastward just 
offshore to the Canadian Maritimes by Wednesday. On Monday, the storm will produce mostly light 
rain over parts of the Southeast/Mid-Atlantic Coast. For Tuesday, the system will produce light 
rain along the Northeast Coast, with light snow over parts of Northern New England.

Furthermore, Monday, a front moving onshore over the Pacific Northwest will move eastward to the 
Great Lakes by Friday. The system will produce light snow and rain over parts of the Upper Midwest 
on Thursday into Thursday evening. By Friday, the storm will produce light snow over the Great 
Lakes.      

. . .Alaska. . .     

On Monday, an area of deep low pressure will be south of the Aleutians with another area of low 
pressure and associated front over parts of the Gulf of Alaska Coast. Moisture associated with the 
system will stream into parts of the Panhandle and into parts of the South-Central Mainland. An 
area of Heavy Precipitation extends from near Seward eastward into the Alaska Panhandle for Monday. 
The Aleutian low moves to the Alaskan Peninsula and Kodiak Island by Wednesday. The associated 
front moves into the Panhandle by Thursday then into Canada by Friday. The storm will keep the 
Heavy Precipitation over the region through Thursday.

Meanwhile, a strong upper-level low over the Arctic Ocean will move southward over the Southwest 
Mainland, allowing the low temperatures to be in the low-twenties to mid/low-teens below zero on 
Monday morning into Tuesday morning, showing signs of moderating on Wednesday. Therefore, an area 
of Much Below Normal Temperatures is on the Hazards Chart over the Southwest Mainland from Monday 
into Wednesday.
