Waching daily Dec 29 2018

hi everyone j7409 here with a quick weather update for you I know a lot of

you are traveling I know a lot of you have New Year's Eve plans and New Year's

Day plans well I want to give you a quick update because we have some severe

weather we're going to have to watch plus we got another storm coming then

and there's going to be more snow of course this is the GFS map courtesy of

tropical tidbits let's turn it on and let me get this out for you

we got a new storm system dropping in across the Pacific Northwest now it's

going to advance gradually southeast and inland across the Intermountain region

for tonight and tomorrow now this system is going to be bringing a new round of

rain along the coast and some heavy snow for the higher terrain including the

Cascades and the central and northern rockies now some locations over the far

northern rockies including the bitterroots will see as much as 1 to 2

feet of new snow going through tomorrow sunday now by New Year's Eve the

moisture and energy associated with this system is going to quickly advance east

out across the Northern Plains and the Upper Midwest and a little strip of

light to moderate snow and perhaps even some of that nasty freezing rain will

impact these areas making for locally hazardous travel conditions and

meanwhile much colder air will filter south in behind this system with many

areas in the Intermountain West and the high plains high temperatures well below

freezing as much as 15 to 25 degrees below normal

now father east the weather will again tend to trend to much milder

temperatures it's very mild at my house rainy today I do see the Sun yesterday

was an awful and yes it's going to be wetter has this

storm system develops over the Lower Mississippi Valley region on New Year's

Eve it should lift north up across the lower Great Lakes region

now southerly flow ahead of the low Center and attendant cold front will

result in notably warmer temperatures lifting north from the Gulf Coast states

now when this happens it's going to overspread much of the eastern half of

the nation high temperatures especially along and

just west of the Appalachian including the Tennessee and Ohio valleys will be

as much as 15 to 25 degrees above normal on New Year's Eve now with the influx of

warmer air it will also be a substantial amount of moisture and the expectation

is for rather widespread areas of heavy rain and embedded thunderstorms to

impact the southern and eastern United States from the lower around the middle

Mississippi Valley area east to the Ohio Valley in the Mid Atlantic region now

some localized runoff and flooding concerns it's going to happen folks and

the rain we could get anywhere from one to three inches of rain with this next

system and it's going to cause a risk of excessive rainfall and flooding ok

there's going to be a local this is important a localized concern for some

severe weather especially across the Gulf states just like we went through a

few days ago and this is where it's looking like the most concerns for heavy

rainfall and severe weather will both need to be closely monitored over the

next couple of days so down in this area as the days faster you can see right in

here heavy heavy rain could have severe

storms all the way up from Texas across Louisiana and Mississippi Alabama

Georgia South Carolina Florida North Carolina it just depends how fast this

system moves out looking like though there is going to be a good risk for

severe weather around New Year's Eve and New Year's or just maybe a little

laughter we'll have to see how fast it moves for these areas we got snow coming

in here and of course it's going to be spreading across this area bringing more

snow to places that's already received a lot so with that all said and done don't
