The high pressure will bring temperatures 10 to 15 degrees below average over the Eastern third of the country on Monday. Upper-level energy will produce light to moderate snow over parts of Michigan, tapering off by Monday evening. See the WPC Heavy Snow Discussion for details and amounts. Additionally, lake-effect/lake-enhanced snow will develop downwind from the Great Lakes through late Monday afternoon. Meanwhile, onshore flow over the Pacific Northwest will produce rain on Sunday and heavy rain Monday into Tuesday. Therefore, the WPC has issued a Slight Risk (level 2/4) of excessive rainfall over the Pacific Northwest from Monday into Tuesday morning. The associated heavy rain will create mainly localized areas of flash flooding, with urban areas, roads, small streams, and burn scars being the most vulnerable. The rain will continue over the Northwest through Tuesday evening. After the associated front moves over the area on Monday afternoon into Tuesday, moderate to heavy snow will develop over parts of the Cascades into the Northern Rockies.
