Weather Underground Forecast for Monday,March 16,2015

 

The Eastern states will continue to see dry weather with a warming trend on Monday, while areas of wet weather are expected to persist for the West. A series of low pressure systems that brought rain showers to the Pacific Northwest will continue sliding eastward over the Intermountain West and into the Northern Rockies. Rainfall totals across the region will vary around 1 inch with snow levels remaining high through Monday night. A cold front trailing to the south of this system will allow for a weak band of rain showers to move across northern California and into northern Nevada on Monday. Only light and scattered showers are anticipated along this front. The first of these series of low pressure troughs will make its way into the upper Midwest on Monday, producing rain showers across northern Minnesota and northern Wisconsin, as well as the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. As cold air filters in behind this system, rain showers will likely turn to snow showers for the northern locations. Expect a messy combination of rain, sleet, and freezing rain for these areas.

Elsewhere, a ridge of high pressure dominates across the Plains and Eastern Valleys, maintaining a warming trend for the region. Due to these warm and dry conditions, fire danger will remain high for the central and southern Plains on Monday.
