Weather Monday April 29 2024 Severe weather over the Gulf Coast, Fair warm NYC

The Weather Man Podcast, I talk about weather!

More rounds of excessive rainfall and severe weather expected to push
east and southeast toward the Lower Mississippi Valley through tonight
into Monday...
...High-elevation snow is forecast to overspread the Pacific Northwest
into the Northern Rockies Monday and Tuesday...
...Warmer than average temperatures spread from Midwest to Mid-Atlantic;
colder weather returns to the Northern Plains and the Pacific Northwest
with warming trend across the central/southern High Plains...
More active and unsettled weather is forecast to continue across the
mid-section of the country through the next couple of days as multiple
disturbances embedded within a slow-moving upper-level trough traverse the
western U.S. toward the Great Plains. The low pressure system responsible
for the latest outbreak of strong to severe thunderstorms across the
central to southern Plains today will continue to track northeast across
the upper Midwest on Monday. Another bout of strong to severe
thunderstorms can be expected to impact areas farther east across the
ArkLaTex region through tonight as the trailing cold front associated with
the low pressure system edges farther to the east. In addition, heavy
downpours associated with these storms will result in flooding concerns
across the region. By Monday, the highest threat of severe weather and
heavy rain will shift farther southeast toward to central Gulf Coast
region, mainly over Louisiana, as the front begins to weaken. A lower
risk of severe weather and heavy rain will extend farther northeast into
the Tennessee Valley on Monday.
Meanwhile, widespread cold rain is expected to continue through tonight
across the northern Plains, upper Midwest and toward the lower Great Lakes
ahead of the low pressure system and the associated warm front, with
embedded thunderstorms closer to the center of the low. Temperatures
could be cold enough to support wet snow Monday morning across portions of
the northern Plains into the upper Midwest. The rain will then shift
eastward into the western portion of New England, down across the Ohio
Valley toward the Appalachians on Tuesday as the low center moves into
southern Canada.
On the warm side of the low pressure system, strong southerly flow will
bring very warm air northward into the East Coast through the next couple
of days with high temperatures climbing well into the 80s and possibly
into the lower 90 degrees for the interior Mid-Atlantic. These
temperatures will be in contrast to the cool temperatures expected for the
Pacific Northwest by Monday as the next upper-level trough from the
Pacific is forecast to push inland. This trough will bring widespread
high-elevation snow and lower elevation rain across the Pacific Northwest
toward the northern Rockies on Monday with increasingly windy conditions
as a low pressure system begins to develop over the northern High Plains
into southern Canada. By Tuesday, the main front will move fairly quickly
across the northern and central Plains, with rapid development of showers
and thunderstorms expected across the upper Midwest in the afternoon ahead
of a warm front and a low pressure wave. Some thunderstorms may begin to
erput across the central Plains into Texas east of a dry line. Farther
west, warm downslope winds from the southern Rockies will set a warm trend
across the southern High Plains with high temperatures reaching into the
80s and lower 90s by Tuesday afternoon.
