Weather Underground Forecast for Sunday,January 19,2014

A cold frontal boundary will extend from the northern Plains to the upper Midwest on Sunday, while a ridge of high pressure will continue to build over the West Coast.

A cold front will usher cold, blustery conditions and snowy weather across the north central portion of the country on Sunday. Widespread snow showers will move over the northern Plains, the upper Midwest and the Great Lakes. A low pressure system along the eastern portion of the cold front will drive snowy weather across the Mid-Atlantic and the Northeast, as heavy snow will be possible in upstate New York and northern New England. The central and southern Plains will stay clear of wet weather due to a high pressure system over Texas. An onshore flow from the Gulf of Mexico will bring light showers to central and eastern Gulf Coast and parts of the Southeast on Sunday.

High pressure will also build over the Great Basin, which will continue to initiate a Santa Ana wind event over California. Santa Ana winds will push winds offshore, which will keep humidity levels across the state very low. In turn, this will prolong the drought across California and increase fire danger. The remainder of the West Coast will also avoid precipitation due to a ridge of high pressure over the eastern Pacific.
