[FEMA]

Homeland Security Threat Level: YELLOW (ELEVATED)

Significant National Weather

West:
A storm system moving into the Plains will produce snow from the Four Corners to the Rockies. High pressure building over the Great Basin will generate strong gusty northeast winds through and below passes and canyons of Southern California. A critical fire weather area is forecast across western Texas due to gusty winds and low humidity.
Midwest:
A front will bring ample moisture and widespread precipitation from the Gulf of Mexico northward into the Plains and Mississippi Valley. Heavy rain, thunderstorms, and possible flash flooding are forecast across the Mississippi Valley, Missouri Valley, Ohio Valley and western Great Lakes. Snow will spread from the Rockies to the Northern and Central high Plains and bring accumulations from three inches to one foot from the Dakotas to Minnesota.
South:
Rain and thunderstorms, some severe, are expected from eastern Oklahoma and eastern Texas to the lower Mississippi Valley. Rainfall in the lower Mississippi Valley could be as much as three inches. The Carolinas will see patchy drizzle and light showers and eastern Florida could see scattered thunderstorms.
Northeast:
High pressure will dominate weather across the Northeast producing a dry day with partly to mostly sunny skies. As the high pressure begins to shift into the Atlantic tomorrow, the storm from out of the Midwest and South will produce rain across New York and the Mid-Atlantic.
