Fridays SEVERE WEATHER OUTLOOK has NO areas of concentrated strong or severe thunderstorms expected anywhere across the Nation. In the meantime, isolated to widely scattered thunderstorms could develop mainly this evening across Eastern Texas into the Lower MS Valley. Fridays NATIONAL WEATHER SUMMARY FORECAST BY: Forecaster, David Saurer: Storm system spreading across the Eastern Rockies and into the Central and Northern Plains will spread snowfall for the region today with WINTER STORM WATCHES posted as of now. This system will then eject Northeastward to spread the snowfall into the Upper MS Valley and Northern Great Lakes for the early parts of the weekend. Colder air is expected to filter in the wake of the system with the associated cold frontal boundary pressing South and Eastward towards the Western Gulf States by Saturday and will then move into Southeastern states for Sunday. This will bring locally heavy rain fall and some thunderstorms extending from Eastern Texas across the Central Gulf states and into the Southeast. AREAL FLOOD WATCHES are in effect for the Central Gulf States as heavy rainfall is forecast locally. Colder air is also filtering in slowly through the Ohio Valley and the Northeast for the latter half of the weekend and into New Years Holiday Week. Some of the coldest air of the season will then dig Southward from Southern Canada into the Northern Plains and Upper MS Valley by early in the day on Monday. Finally, the Pacific storm system is expected to dig Southeastward from the Northeastern Pacific across SW Canada and finally, into the Pacific Northwest beginning in the early half of the weekend and will begin to continue digging South and Eastward towards the Northern Rockies by Sunday. There is a large Arctic High that is expected to follow in the wake of this system from Northwestern Canada and will filter in some much colder air across the majority of the Pacific Northwest, Great Basin, and the Northern Rockies for the beginning of the New Years Holiday Week. The bitterly cold air will be felt along the Eastern Slopes of the Rockies by the early parts of the week and then spreading into the Central and Northern Plains by Mid Week where subzero temperatures are in the forecast by then.
