To the west, Plains remained mild and dry as high pressure built in from the South. The Upper Midwest saw highs in the 40s, while the Southern Plains saw highs in the mid-70s. Further west, a trough of low pressure approached the Pacific Northwest and pushed moisture onshore from the Pacific Ocean. This created more rain and high elevation snow showers spread across Oregon and Washington.
