Weather Underground Forecast for Friday, January 2,2015

A trough of low pressure will develop over the western Gulf Coast on Friday, while a cold front will stretch from the upper Midwest to New England.

An area of low pressure will continue to develop over the western Gulf Coast. This system will influence an onshore flow from the Gulf of Mexico, triggering widespread precipitation from the southern and central Plains to the Mid-Atlantic. Rain and thunderstorms are forecast to develop across the western and central Gulf Coast, the lower Mississippi Valley, the Deep South and parts of the Southeast. Heavy rain associated with these thunderstorms will bring a chance of flash flooding to northeast Texas, northern Louisiana, southern Arkansas and southeast Oklahoma. In addition, a mixture of rain, freezing rain and snow will be possible across the southern Rockies, the southern and central Plains, the middle Mississippi Valley, the Tennessee Valley and the southern Ohio Valley. Winter storm warnings are already in place across western and central Texas in anticipation of heavy snow showers. There will also be a chance of light to moderate rain over the Mid-Atlantic during Friday afternoon and evening.

Meanwhile, a low pressure system will dip south southeastward over the northern Plains. This system will usher light to moderate snow showers across the northern Rockies, the northern Plains and the upper Midwest. Winter storm watches are in place over northeast Montana, northern North Dakota and northwest Minnesota as locally heavy snow showers will be possible across the region. To the east, a cold front will extend from the upper Midwest to New England. Bitter cold arctic air will trail this cold front, impacting the upper Midwest, the Great Lakes, the interior Mid-Atlantic and New England. Cold air will interact with the Great Lakes, bringing a chance of lake effect snow showers to New York.
