class="dlinks-disco"> Short Range Forecast Discussion <br>NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD <br>410 AM EDT Wed Apr 09 2025 <br> <br>Valid 12Z Wed Apr 09 2025 - 12Z Fri Apr 11 2025 <br> <br> <br>...Below normal temperatures continue across the East while well above <br>normal and near-record warmth builds across the West... <br> <br>...Severe weather expected across portions of the Mid/Deep South and <br>Tennessee Valley on Thursday... <br> <br>...Pair of low pressure systems to bring increasingly unsettled weather to <br>much of the East Thursday into Friday... <br> <br> <br>In the wake of a strong cold front, temperatures across much of the <br>Eastern U.S. will continue to run 10 to 20 degrees below normal on <br>Wednesday. After a very chilly start with lows nearing, at, or below <br>freezing for many, high temperatures will range from the 20s and 30s <br>across the northern interior sections of the Northeast, to the 30s, 40s, <br>and 50s, from the Upper Midwest to the Mid-Atlantic. Farther south, highs <br>will top out in the 50s, 60s, and 70s from the Ohio Valley and southern <br>Mid-Atlantic to the Southeast and Gulf Coast. Despite some likely <br>moderation, temperatures for most of the East will remain below normal <br>into the weekend thanks to a large and deepening upper level trough and a <br>pair of low pressure systems. In stark contrast, a large upper level ridge <br>will build over the Western U.S. the next few days, resulting in mainly <br>dry weather and well above normal temperatures. In fact, high temperature <br>anomalies across the West will climb to between 10 and 30 degrees above <br>seasonal norms through Friday, translating to highs in the 50s and 60s <br>across the far north/Pacific Northwest, to the 70s and 80s outside of the <br>mountains farther south, to the 90s and 100s across portions of the Desert <br>Southwest and southern Plains. High temperatures may even approach or <br>possibly break records for many places Thursday, Friday and into the <br>weekend. <br> <br>As alluded to above, a highly amplified pattern will begin to take shape <br>the next few days, with a large ridge building over the West and a <br>deepening trough over the East. While the ridge will keep most of the West <br>outside of the Pacific Northwest mainly dry through Friday, the trough <br>will bring increasingly unsettled and stormy weather to the East. This <br>period of wetter weather starts with a generally weak low pressure system <br>that will track from the Upper Midwest, to the Ohio Valley, to the Great <br>Lakes and Northeast through Thursday. This will bring light rain and snow <br>showers to the region, with snow mainly confined to the Upper Midwest, <br>Great Lakes, and interior Northeast. A second, stronger low pressure <br>system will develop across the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys on Thursday <br>before tracking into the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast Friday into Saturday. <br>Ahead of the developing low, increasing moisture and instability will set <br>the stage for a severe weather threat across portions of the Mid/Deep <br>South and the Tennessee Valley on Thursday. As a result, the Storm <br>Prediction Center has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/5) for potential <br>severe thunderstorms that are capable of producing large hail and damaging <br>winds. The severe weather threat then transitions to a concern for <br>moderate to locally heavy rain across portions of the Mid-Atlantic and <br>Northeast on Friday, with the Weather Prediction Center issuing a Marginal <br>Risk (level 1/4) of excessive rainfall. While parts of the Mid-Atlantic <br>and Northeast could certainly use the rain, isolated to scattered <br>instances of flooding, particularly in urban, low-lying, or poor drainage <br>areas, cannot be ruled out. <br> <br> <br>Miller <br> <br> <br>Graphics available at <br><a href="https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/basicwx/basicwx_ndfd.php"><u><a href="https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/basicwx/basicwx_ndfd.php" target="_blank">https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/basicwx/basicwx_ndfd.php</a></u></a> <br> </div> </div> <a onclick="javascript:displaylinks('dlinks-frtmr-disco')" href="javascript:;"> + Medium Range Forecast Discussion (Day 3-7)</a><br> <div id="dlinks-frtmr-disco" style="display: none"> <div class="dlinks-disco"> Extended Forecast Discussion <br>NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD <br>248 AM EDT Wed Apr 9 2025 <br> <br>Valid 12Z Sat Apr 12 2025 - 12Z Wed Apr 16 2025 <br> <br> <br>...General Overview... <br> <br>An amplified upper level trough will be in place across the East <br>Coast for the upcoming weekend, with a surface low off the Mid- <br>Atlantic coast that will track in the general direction of Nova <br>Scotia by early next weekend. Meanwhile, an upper ridge will be in <br>place across the Plains that will support warm conditions for this <br>time of year. An incoming upper trough across the northern Rockies <br>will then spur surface cyclogenesis across the central/northern <br>Plains by Sunday with a cold front crossing the Intermountain West. <br>The cold front should then reach the south-central U.S. by Tuesday <br>morning with the upper ridge breaking down. Another trough is <br>likely to reach the West Coast region during the Tuesday to <br>Wednesday time period, but uncertainty is higher on its evolution. <br> <br>...Guidance/Predictability Assessment... <br> <br>The 00Z model guidance suite has come into better agreement with <br>the trough axis crossing the northwestern states over the weekend. <br>The 12Z CMC was a slow outlier and not used beyond day 4 given its <br>timing differences, but the new 00Z run is in much better <br>agreement. This also holds true for the potential closed upper low <br>near the Desert Southwest late in the forecast period, but still <br>remains more uncertain than other parts of the country. For the <br>system across the East Coast this weekend, the GFS it a bit <br>farther northwest with the surface low across the northern Mid- <br>Atlantic, and the CMC more offshore, but otherwise good agreement <br>noted for this region. <br> <br>The WPC fronts and pressures forecast was derived mainly from a <br>GFS/ECMWF/UKMET/previous WPC blend for this weekend, and then <br>mainly GFS/ECMWF and their respective ensemble means going forward <br>into the first half of next week, with means up to about 60% by <br>Wednesday. <br> <br>...Weather/Hazards Highlights... <br> <br>The low pressure system emerging off the southern New England coast <br>this weekend will likely keep widespread light to moderate rainfall <br>across the Northeast U.S., especially on Saturday with the <br>heaviest rainfall beginning to exit the Cape Cod region. Higher <br>elevation snow is likely for the northern Appalachians through the <br>weekend with several inches of accumulation possible. With most of <br>the heaviest rainfall expected on Friday, it appears unlikely that <br>there will be any excessive rainfall concerns going into <br>Saturday/Day 4, so no risk areas are warranted. An even less <br>eventful rainfall forecast is expected for Sunday/Day 5, and <br>therefore no risk areas are necessary as well, even though there <br>will likely be a swath of moderate rainfall across the northern <br>tier states with the surface low moving through. <br> <br>Elsewhere across the Continental U.S., several inches of snowfall <br>is likely across the higher terrain of the Northern Rockies through <br>the weekend as the upper low moves across the region. The front <br>moving across the central Plains and Midwest will not have much <br>moisture or instability to work with, so rainfall associated with <br>it should be mainly light. There may be an increase in shower <br>coverage across portions of the southern Plains by the middle of <br>next week as a potential wave of low pressure develops along the <br>front, but does not look impressive at this time. <br> <br>The mid-upper level ridge axis exiting the Rockies and across the <br>Plains through the upcoming weekend will support widespread above <br>normal temperatures from the Desert Southwest to the central and <br>northern Plains. Highs could reach into the 90s from western Texas <br>to eastern Colorado and western Kansas, before the cold front <br>brings readings closer to climatology for Monday. The warmth then <br>encompasses the Midwest to the Deep South to start the week and <br>then it reaches the East Coast by Tuesday, with highs about 5-15 <br>degrees above average. However, widespread cloud cover over the <br>weekend will tend to keep things cooler than mid-April standards <br>across the Eastern U.S. before things moderate next week. <br> <br>Hamrick <br> <br> <br>Additional 3-7 Day Hazard information can be found on the WPC <br>medium range hazards outlook chart at: <br><a href="https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/threats/threats.php"><u><a href="https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/threats/threats.php" target="_blank">https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/threats/threats.php</a></u></a> <br> <br>WPC medium range 500mb heights, surface systems, weather grids, <br>quantitative precipitation forecast (QPF), excessive rainfall <br>outlook (ERO), winter weather outlook (WWO) probabilities, heat <br>indices, and Key Messages can be accessed from: <br> <br><a href="https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/medr/5dayfcst500_wbg.gif"><u><a href="https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/medr/5dayfcst500_wbg.gif" target="_blank">https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/medr/5dayfcst500_wbg.gif</a></u></a> <br><a href="https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/medr/5dayfcst_wbg_conus.gif"><u><a href="https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/medr/5dayfcst_wbg_conus.gif" target="_blank">https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/medr/5dayfcst_wbg_conus.gif</a></u></a> <br><a href="https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/5km_grids/5km_gridsbody.html"><u><a href="https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/5km_grids/5km_gridsbody.html" target="_blank">https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/5km_grids/5km_gridsbody.html</a></u></a> <br><a href="https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/day4-7.shtml"><u><a href="https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/day4-7.shtml" target="_blank">https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/day4-7.shtml</a></u></a> <br><a href="https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/#page=ero"><u><a href="https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/#page=ero" target="_blank">https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/#page=ero</a></u></a> <br><a href="https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/wwd/pwpf_d47/pwpf_medr.php?day=4"><u><a href="https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/wwd/pwpf_d47/pwpf_medr.php?day=4" target="_blank">https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/wwd/pwpf_d47/pwpf_medr.php?day=4</a></u></a> <br><a href="https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/heat_index.shtml"><u><a href="https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/heat_index.shtml" target="_blank">https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/heat_index.shtml</a></u></a> <br><a href="https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/#page=ovw"><u><a href="https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/#page=ovw" target="_blank">https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/#page=ovw</a></u></a> <br> </div> </div> <a onclick="javascript:displaylinks('dlinks-frthi-disco')" href="javascript:;"> + Hawaii Forecast Discussion (Day 1-7)</a><br> <div id="dlinks-frthi-disco" style="display: none"> <div class="dlinks-disco"> <br>Hawaii Extended Forecast Discussion <br>NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD <br>315 AM EDT Wed Apr 9 2025 <br> <br>Valid 00Z Thu 10 Apr 2025 - 00Z Thu 17 Apr 2025 <br> <br>A strong surface high will be centered north of Hawaii through the <br>middle to end of the week near 35 degrees north, with breezy to <br>windy easterly trade wind flow.

Quantitative Precipitation Forecast Discussion NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD 532 AM EDT Tue Jun 05 2018 Final Day 1, Day 2 and Day 3 QPF Discussion Valid Jun 05/1200 UTC thru Jun 08/1200 UTC Reference AWIPS Graphics under...Precip Accum - 24hr Day 1 ...Northern Plains - Upper Mississippi Valley... Upper ridge axis pushes east of the northern Plains and Upper MS Valley region Tue night. In its wake, an uptick in broad scale upper forcing (divergence aloft) will ensue, and get a considerable boost within the right entrance region of an upper level jet streak traversing southern Ontario. Meanwhile, the increasing (and veering) nocturnal LLJ will lead to rapid low-level moisture/theta e transport ahead of a sharpening frontal zone. Both synoptic and thermodynamic indicators give credence to the the multi-model signal of a developing MCS overnight along the "ring of fire", though as is typical, the model solutions are not well clustered with respect to the details in terms of MCS track and thus axis of heaviest rainfall. WPC did nudge the QPF axis a little father south from the previous forecast -- essentially in line with the blend of the WRF-ARW, ARW2, and NSSL-WRF (all of which aligned reasonably well, while the NAM CONUS Nest, WRF-NMMB, NBM, and global guidance were farther north. Despite the fairly vigorous mid-level cap, based on climo like the aforementioned high-res depiction of the heavy rainfall footprint farther south, along and north of the surface boundary where the coupling of robust deep-layer elevated instability and moisture transport will be maximized north-northeast of the 700 mb +12C isotherm. Also supporting a more southern solution of the MCS track/heaviest QPF would be the degree of southward propagation overnight, as the s=sw LLJ begins to exceed the speed of the mean 850-300 mb flow. At this point, the progged shear profiles would support a progressive MCS; however, multiple rounds of convection as noted from the ARW/ARW2 (first one along the initial wnw-ese warm frontal boundary) could pose a more enhanced flash flood risk across far northeast SD and southeast ND. ...Central Gulf Coast Region... Mid-upper shortwave trough -- bolstered early in the period the MCV over the ARKLATEX -- will be the catalyst for additional diurnally-enhanced convection along the surface stationary front south toward the Gulf coast. 0-6km bulk shear values aoa 25 kts along with robust deep-layer instability (mucapes at 2000-3000+ j/kg) will support more organized, widespread coverage during the afternoon through mid evening ahead of the upper trough, with the surface moisture convergence getting an added boost from the developing Gulf breezes. Despite the relatively high 1-3 hourly FFG (generally 2.5-3.0" in 1 hour and 3-4" in 3 hours), localized totals of 3-5" within a few hours per the high-res CAMs would support a marginal risk of excessive rainfall, particularly over portions of se LA given the relatively wetter antecedent soils (lower FFG values). Hurley Day 2 ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS... ...Northern Rockies to Central Plains... Weak shortwave energy rounding a broad mid-upper level ridge axis extending up the high plains will cross the north-central Great Plains Wednesday. A low level jet under the ridge will bring Gulf moisture north with 1.5 inch PW over NE/IA which is two standard deviations above normal. The combination of high moisture, instability, and mid level forcing should be enough to break the cap and trigger scattered heavy thunderstorms that will shift southeast in the anticyclonic flow. MCS development is likely given the strong instability and expected forward propagation. QPF was based on a blend of the 00Z GFS/NAM/ECMWF and in-house bias-corrected blend. The marginal risk is for the main convective storm breeding ground east of the Sand Hills where 6-hr FFG is generally 2 to 2.5 inches. Progression of organized/MCS activity may need to be accounted for in subsequent QPF and ERO. ...Florida... A swath of 1.75 inch PW along a stalled front will allow heavy rain across central FL. Light easterly mean flow could allow repeating cells off the Gulf. FFG is quite high in central FL, so flash flooding is likely limited locally. Day 3 ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS AND NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS... ...Northern Rockies to Central Plains... Weak shortwave energy rounding a broad mid-upper level ridge axis extending up the high plains will cross the northern Great Plains Thursday. A wake from Wednesday activity should exist over the north-central plains Thursday with development likely initiation along remnant boundaries. 1.25 to 1.5 inch PW is 1.5 to 2 standard deviations above normal. Instability is progged to be stronger over the Central Plains then MT which may allow for greater MCS development. More details on mesoscale processes on subsequent forecasts. QPF was based on a blend of the 00Z GFS/NAM/ECMWF and in-house bias-corrected blend. The marginal risks over MT and NE/KS/IA is based on 00Z consensus for the low position along with more sensitive FFG.

When combined with slow- <br>moving low- to mid-level frontogenesis across PA in particular, <br>heavy rainfall with possible areas of snow through dynamic cooling could <br>ensue. MU CAPE is only sufficient for issues from a vertically- <br>derived instability standpoint down near the VA/NC border, but <br>slantwise convection could be a problem for areas farther north. In <br>theory, hourly rain totals up to 1" with local amounts to 3" are <br>possible. In such situations in the past, the convective band that <br>forms could be quite narrow which makes placement especially <br>difficult to discern at this time horizon. Not helping matters are <br>mass field differences between the guidance as the mid- to upper- <br>level low is attempting to close off as the upstream ridge is <br>beginning to falter in strength, which would normally side against <br>a more southerly solution like the 00z NAM. Even so, there is <br>enough agreement on the heavy rain potential through the various <br>pieces of guidance, when combined with the ingredients above, to <br>maintain the Marginal Risk from continuity. Should model mass <br>fields converge and snow becomes less of a factor, an upgrade to a <br>Slight Risk may be worth considering as some areas of the northern <br>Mid- Atlantic States have quite low flash flood guidance (northern <br>NJ, west- central PA, and the Southern Tier of NY). <br> <br>Roth <br> <br>Day 3 threat area: <a href="https://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/99epoints.txt"<u>www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/qpf/99epoints.txt</u></a> <br></div><div id='TABday4D-ero' class='dlinks-disco' style='display: none'>Extended Forecast Discussion <br>NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD <br>248 AM EDT Wed Apr 9 2025 <br> <br> <br>The low pressure system emerging off the southern New England coast <br>this weekend will likely keep widespread light to moderate rainfall <br>across the Northeast U.S., especially on Saturday with the <br>heaviest rainfall beginning to exit the Cape Cod region.

As a wave of low pressure tracks east <br>along a strenghtening low-level warm front, a swath of <br>precipitation along the warm front and on the northern flank of the <br>storm will be capable of producing periods of snow. The setup <br>continues to feature very marginal boundary layer temperatures, <br>making it essential for dynamic cooling and the transition to snow <br>after sunset Wednesday evening to help snow accumulate. The wide <br>ranging solutions in guidance include little to no snow or as much <br>as several inches from southern Wisconsin on east to southern <br>Michigan and both northern Indiana and Ohio (showcasing the <br>complexities of the setup detailed above). WPC probabilities show <br>low chances (10-30%) for snowfall totals >2" across southern <br>Michigan, while most areas in the Lower Great Lakes see a coating <br>to 2" throughout the Lower Great Lakes. <br> <br>A similar setup for light snow occurs over the Northeast mountains <br>Wednesday night into Thursday. Mountain ranges such as the <br>Catskills, Adirondacks, and Berkshires could see between a coating <br>to 2" of snowfall through Thursday night. A break in the snow <br>arrives Friday morning before another round of mountain snow <br>arrives late Friday into Saturday. <br> <br> <br>...Northern & Central Appalachians... <br>Day 3... <br> <br>As the upper-level trough over the Ohio Valley deepens Thursday <br>night, excellent upper-level divergence via PVA ahead of an <br>embedded shortave disturbance will spawn a strengthening area of <br>low pressure in the Mid-Atlantic. Out ahead of the upper trough is <br>an IVT >400 kg/m/s that will deliver copious amounts of moisture <br>into the northern Mid-Atlantic and Northeast Friday and into <br>Saturday. While there is some residual sub-freezing air in the <br>Northeast, there is only enough to support snow in the more <br>elevated terrain of the central and northern Appalachians. <br>Elevations above 2,000ft are most favored for snowfall, but some <br>areas as low as 1,000ft in elevations could see rain transition to <br>snow Friday night. This is a sensitive setup given the time of year <br>with lack of sub-freezing temps and dynamic cooling being <br>necessary to support heavier snowfall rates. WPC probabilities show <br>10-20% chances for snowfall >2" in the tallest peaks of the <br>Catskills, Adirondacks, Green, and White Mountains through Saturday <br>morning. <br> <br> <br>WPC probabilities for ice accumulations above 0.1" throughout the <br>CONUS are less than 10%. <br> <br> <br>Mullinax <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> </div> </div> <a onclick="javascript:displaylinks('dlinks-wwx')" href="javascript:;"> + Additional Links</a> <div id="dlinks-wwx" style="display: none"> <ul class="linkslist"> <li>» <a href="/wwd/wso" target="_blank">Experimental Winter Storm Outlook</a></li> <li>» <a href="/wwd/wssi/prob_wssi.php" target="_blank">Probabilistic Winter Storm Severity Index</a></li> <li>» <a href="../verification/winwx/winwx.php" alt="Product Verification">Product Verification</a></li> <li>» <a href="../archives/web_pages/winwx/get_winwx_images.php" alt="Product Archive">Product Archive</a></li> <li>» <a href="../wwd/about.shtml" alt="Product Info">Product Info</a></li> <li>» <a href="../wwd/winter_wx.shtml" alt="Other Products">Other Winter Weather Products</a></li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="product-content-new" id="med"> <!--'Day 3-7 tab' --> <!-- Add a bit of code to allow navigation using arrows between days. --> <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.6.0/jquery.min.js"></script> <script> $(document).keydown( function(e) { if (e.keyCode == 39) { $(".overviewm:focus").closest('li').next().find('a.overviewm').focus();

Meanwhile, an upper ridge will be in <br>place across the Plains that will support warm conditions for this <br>time of year. An incoming upper trough across the northern Rockies <br>will then spur surface cyclogenesis across the central/northern <br>Plains by Sunday with a cold front crossing the Intermountain West. <br>The cold front should then reach the south-central U.S. by Tuesday <br>morning with the upper ridge breaking down. Another trough is <br>likely to reach the West Coast region during the Tuesday to <br>Wednesday time period, but uncertainty is higher on its evolution. <br> <br>...Guidance/Predictability Assessment... <br> <br>The 00Z model guidance suite has come into better agreement with <br>the trough axis crossing the northwestern states over the weekend. <br>The 12Z CMC was a slow outlier and not used beyond day 4 given its <br>timing differences, but the new 00Z run is in much better <br>agreement. This also holds true for the potential closed upper low <br>near the Desert Southwest late in the forecast period, but still <br>remains more uncertain than other parts of the country. For the <br>system across the East Coast this weekend, the GFS it a bit <br>farther northwest with the surface low across the northern Mid- <br>Atlantic, and the CMC more offshore, but otherwise good agreement <br>noted for this region. <br> <br>The WPC fronts and pressures forecast was derived mainly from a <br>GFS/ECMWF/UKMET/previous WPC blend for this weekend, and then <br>mainly GFS/ECMWF and their respective ensemble means going forward <br>into the first half of next week, with means up to about 60% by <br>Wednesday. <br> <br>...Weather/Hazards Highlights... <br> <br>The low pressure system emerging off the southern New England coast <br>this weekend will likely keep widespread light to moderate rainfall <br>across the Northeast U.S., especially on Saturday with the <br>heaviest rainfall beginning to exit the Cape Cod region. Higher <br>elevation snow is likely for the northern Appalachians through the <br>weekend with several inches of accumulation possible. With most of <br>the heaviest rainfall expected on Friday, it appears unlikely that <br>there will be any excessive rainfall concerns going into <br>Saturday/Day 4, so no risk areas are warranted. An even less <br>eventful rainfall forecast is expected for Sunday/Day 5, and <br>therefore no risk areas are necessary as well, even though there <br>will likely be a swath of moderate rainfall across the northern <br>tier states with the surface low moving through. <br> <br>Elsewhere across the Continental U.S., several inches of snowfall <br>is likely across the higher terrain of the Northern Rockies through <br>the weekend as the upper low moves across the region. The front <br>moving across the central Plains and Midwest will not have much <br>moisture or instability to work with, so rainfall associated with <br>it should be mainly light. There may be an increase in shower <br>coverage across portions of the southern Plains by the middle of <br>next week as a potential wave of low pressure develops along the <br>front, but does not look impressive at this time. <br> <br>The mid-upper level ridge axis exiting the Rockies and across the <br>Plains through the upcoming weekend will support widespread above <br>normal temperatures from the Desert Southwest to the central and <br>northern Plains. Highs could reach into the 90s from western Texas <br>to eastern Colorado and western Kansas, before the cold front <br>brings readings closer to climatology for Monday. The warmth then <br>encompasses the Midwest to the Deep South to start the week and <br>then it reaches the East Coast by Tuesday, with highs about 5-15 <br>degrees above average.
