...Rainfall spreads into the Eastern U.S. this week..

A trailing cold front continues to track towards the Ohio Valley
and Southeast this morning. Showers and thunderstorms are expected
to focus along the front for the next few days, while steady
rainfall wraps around the associated surface low over the Upper
Midwest and Great Lakes. Impacts with this activity should be
limited, although isolated heavy rainfall and severe weather is
possible today over portions of the Lower Ohio Valley and
Southeast. Over the Florida Peninsula today, locally heavy
rainfall remains possible along the southeast Florida coast, which
could drive additional flash flooding as the area remains
vulnerable from the last several days of flooding. Fortunately,
rainfall in the area will taper off after today.

In the West, an approaching upper-low from the Four Corners will
lead to increasing snowfall in the peaks of the Central Rockies.
Eventually, an emerging frontal system tomorrow will spread
precipitation into the lower elevations of the Central/Southern
High Plains. The main impact from this system will be to reinforce
the cold air behind the leading front to the east. Temperatures
over much of the Heartland will fall to slightly below normal over
the next two days with the passage of this secondary system.
Meanwhile, a weakening Pacific front will usher in modest low
elevation rainfall and mountain snows to the Northwest, although
limited impacts are expected with this activity.
