The Weather Man Podcast, I talk about weather!

The severe weather threat shifts into the Mississippi Valley, while snow
develops over the Northwest on Tuesday. Scattered showers and
thunderstorms are expected to propagate into the Upper/Middle Mississippi
Valley Tuesday morning and then over the Lower Mississippi Valley Tuesday
afternoon. SPC has another Enhanced Risk of Severe Thunderstorms out over
parts of southeast Iowa, northern Missouri and west-central Illinois with
a broader Slight Risk (level 2/5) area extending from northern Iowa down
to the ArkLaTex on Tuesday. Scattered severe storms capable of producing
significant/severe hail and tornadoes is forecast where the Enhanced Risk
is currently in effect. Excessive Rainfall threats remain marginal over
the same areas with the possibility of a targeted Slight Risk area being
issued as we get closer to the event.
Snow will likely develop on the backside of a pair of cold fronts pushing
through the Northwest on Tuesday/Tuesday night, while thunderstorms move
farther into the Upper Mississippi Valley and Midwest. Snow accumulations
of around 6-12 inches are likely over the ranges of northwestern Wyoming
into southern Montana, while 8-18 inches with isolated higher amounts
possible over the Bighorn Mountains. Showers and thunderstorms move into
the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast on Wednesday with a Slight Risk of Severe
Storms over parts of the Lower Ohio Valley into the Mid-South according to
the SPC. Mid to upper-level troughing over the northern tier will support
generally average to below average temperatures across that area over the
next couple of days while ridging over the southern tier will support
above average temps.
