Across the Pacific Northwest, a plume of Pacific moisture will continue to bring moderate to locally heavy rainfall to lower elevations and heavy snow to the northern Cascades into the northern Rockies through Monday. Warm spring-like temperatures will expand over the western and central U.S. this week. Record tying or breaking highs will be possible from Texas west into the Desert Southwest. Read More >

.AVIATION /02Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 750 PM EDT Sunday...
VFR conditions were observed at all terminals as of 00z under
some passing cirrus with an ESE wind of 8-12kt. A cold front
will approach from the NW tonight. The wind will remain 8-12kt
and gradually become S by later tonight/early Monday morning. A
modestly strong LLJ will precede the front, so LLWS
(~WS020/22040kt) has been included at all sites beginning
generally 05-08z (11z at SBY) and ending at 13-14z once the low-
level inversion mixes out. A SW wind should then increase to
10-15kt with gusts to 20-25kt after 13-14z. Showers will arrive
with the front later Monday morning from RIC to SBY, and then
end early to mid-aftn. Brief MVFR conditions are possible during
this time. Farther SE at PHF, ORF, and ECG, scattered showers
arrive in the aftn, but confidence is lower, so only VCSH has
been included at this time. Drier air quickly arrives from W-E
later Monday aftn with the wind becoming WSW 10-15kt with gusts
to 20kt.
Dry and VFR conditions are expected Monday night into Tuesday
aftn. A wave of low pressure and another cold front arrive
Tuesday night brining the potential for more showers and
degraded flight conditions. Primarily dry and VFR conditions
return Wednesday through Friday.
