This morning, a cold upper trough is passing through the state, and the upper level jet is passing through. This has resulted in bands of moderate to heavy snow falling throughout the central and southwest United States since yesterday evening and continuing as of the time of this writing.

During the day on Wednesday, a wave of low pressure over the Central Gulf Coast will travel into the southern Mid-Atlantic, followed by a second wave of low pressure over the Central Gulf Coast during the day on Thursday.

Snow continues to fall over the region, gradually fading from the northwest to the south. Throughout the day, cold air creeps into the region, causing temperatures to decline steadily throughout the day. Winds will be moderate to gusty throughout the day. Temperatures will remain cold into the early hours of Thursday morning.

The major emphasis of the short-term forecast remains the extensive snowfall that is predicted to begin this afternoon and continue through Wednesday evening. The greatest projected uncertainty at this time is how progressive the front will be, as well as where it will stall to cause the largest snow accumulation.

A rising shortwave trough over the Central Plains and a related area of low pressure over the Middle Mississippi Valley this evening may lead to the possibility of severe weather, flash floods, and snowfall on the colder side of the system on the cold side of the system.

During the weekend, a storm system moving into the Pacific Northwest will deliver significant snow to sections of the northern Cascades and Rockies, while a second system will bring locally heavy rain to parts of central and southeast Texas on Monday.

The worst blizzard in our history in the United States took place on the East Coast affecting the Chesapeake Bay up to Maine and into eastern Canada.

During the short-term prediction period, several locations throughout the nation will be affected by widespread snowy precipitation and freezing temperatures. A severe cold front moving east across the nation is expected to bring snow, sleet, and freezing rain from New England to south Texas. Light snow showers may persist overnight Wednesday over parts of the Great Lakes east to northern New England, starting in the north.

Due to mid-level ridging that has moved in from the west, temperatures will be in the mid to high 50s this afternoon, which is very warm for this time of year. As of late tonight, a shortwave trough and associated surface low are moving south out of Canada and into the Dakotas.

In the late afternoon, the Polar Front is positioned over areas of the Northern Great Lakes, extending from near Sault St Marie in the Upper Peninsula southwestward into portions of southwest Wisconsin, according to the National Weather Service.

Authorities shut down Interstate 64 in southern Kentucky for hours on Thursday as a winter storm battered the region, and a massive pile-up of vehicles remained stranded in the roadway.

Over the next few days, an active weather pattern will continue to drive a plume of Pacific precipitation into the Northwestern United States of America. Rainfall amounts ranging from heavy to excessive will be at risk, mostly along with Washington and northern Oregon coastlines, where the Weather Prediction Center has issued a Slight Risk for heavy to extreme rainfall on Friday.

Over the next couple of days, a cold front, which is now draped around the East coast, will be the focal point for heavy rain, snow, and severe weather throughout the region. Due to the delayed movement of the Southeast section of the front, a line of thunderstorms has developed across areas of the Southeast and Tennessee Valley this morning, allowing for widespread flooding.

From now till Thursday, you may. A north to northwesterly flow pattern will dominate the atmosphere for most of the week as an upper-level low-pressure system over central Canada seeks to swing a pair of systems our way, bringing the possibility of widespread snow in the wake of persistently frigid temperatures.

Weather in Las Vegas has been exceptionally cold this winter. Though snow is an uncommon sight in the valley, gamblers may wish to bet on white. It's looking more likely than not that Las Vegas is going to bring in 2022 with a bit of snow.
