RV Weather

Extended outlooks are more general in nature and higher level than the daily short term forecasts. Beyond a week, there is often significant uncertainty in the location and intensity of specific weather events. I will note where there is less, or greater, confidence than normal in these extended outlooks.

Big Picture for this week and next weekend:

• Little change in the storm track through the first week in March
  • No more blizzards for southern California, but plenty of snow for the Cascades, the Sierra Nevada, and the California northern coastal ranges.
  • Cold in the West, west of I-35.
  • Generally warm in the East – but maybe a northeast snowstorm at the end of the week for the big cities? Low confidence but a growing possibility.
• Significant severe weather threat over the Deep South and then the Southeast Thursday and Friday, respectively.
• High winds on Wednesday over New Mexico.
• High winds over much of Texas on Thursday.
• High winds Tennessee Valley and the Southeast on Friday.
• Tricky snow forecast for the East at the end of the week
  • Storm either goes up the Ohio Valley, bringing snow to the Midwest, Northern NY and northern New England
  • Or takes a more easterly track, bringing snow to much of the Northeast, including NYC and Boston.
• Dry still over the Northern Plains, much of Texas, the Southeast, Gulf Coast and Florida
• Wetter than normal over the West, Central Plains, Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast.
