...Snowy and windy from Northern Plains to Great Lakes this
weekend...

...Frigid airmass descends into Central U.S. this weekend while
West warms up...

...Critical fire weather in southern Texas on Sunday...


An upper trough will split, weaken and dig into the Eastern U.S.
this weekend, while an upper ridge amplifies over the West.
Another trough will cut into the Western ridge over southwestern
Canada early next week. The upper ridge in the West will support
broad southerly flow at the surface, which should gradually
promote seasonably warm temperatures across the region. Highs will
be 10-20 degrees above average on Sunday and Monday. Increasing
winds and dry conditions support a critical fire weather outlook
for portions of southern Texas on Sunday, according to the Storm
Prediction Center.

The digging upper trough over the Midwest will enhance northerly
flow into the eastern half of the country over the next few days.
A frigid continental airmass will spread south behind a strong
cold front pushing south through the Central U.S. this weekend.
The increasing pressure gradient between the digging upper trough
and east-moving ridge will produce high winds across portions of
the Northern Plains, where wind advisories and high wind warnings
are in effect this weekend. Below freezing temperatures and
moisture should produce light to moderate snowfall across the
Upper Midwest and Great Lakes beginning this afternoon as a
surface low pressure system tracks across the Mississippi and Ohio
Valleys. Meanwhile, scattered to isolated showers and
thunderstorms will spread into the East Coast, where above average
temperatures will be in place.
