Northeast Energy Highlights

Seasonal and Windy

Temperatures will be near normal today with increasing rain and wind.

# General Overview: ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN ACROSS THE NATION WITH HEAVY RAIN AND FLASH FLOODING POTENTIAL IN THE SOUTHWEST, MIXED PRECIPITATION IN THE NORTHWEST AND NORTHERN ROCKIES, AND RAIN SPREADING ACROSS THE EASTERN SEABOARD. TEMPERATURE CONTRASTS WILL BE SIGNIFICANT WITH ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES IN THE CENTRAL PLAINS AND BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST.

## EAST:  
A low pressure system will move along the Eastern Seaboard through the early part of the week, bringing widespread rain and strong wind gusts to coastal areas from the Mid-Atlantic through New England. Rain will spread across much of the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic on Sunday and Monday, with precipitation gradually tapering off by Tuesday. While most areas will see moderate rainfall, some coastal sections could experience periods of heavier precipitation. 

By midweek, high pressure builds in from the north, bringing drier conditions to much of the region. The coastal low will move offshore, allowing for improving conditions across the Northeast. The Southeast will remain largely dry throughout the period with only isolated showers possible along the immediate Gulf Coast.

Temperature Anomalies:

-Days 1-3: Near normal temperatures for most of the Eastern Seaboard, with slightly cooler conditions along coastal areas where cloud cover and precipitation will be most persistent.

-Days 4-6: Temperatures trending slightly above normal for most of the region, particularly across the interior Northeast and Mid-Atlantic states, with anomalies of 2-4°F above normal.

-Days 7-10: Warming trend continues with temperatures 3-6°F above normal spreading across much of the region, particularly in the Ohio Valley and interior Northeast.

## CENTRAL:  
An active weather pattern will affect the Central Plains and Midwest, with a significant area of low pressure moving through the region. Rain and thunderstorms will develop across portions of the Central Plains, with some areas in the Southwest portion of the region potentially experiencing heavy rainfall and flash flooding. This system will gradually move eastward, bringing precipitation chances to the Midwest by midweek.

The Northern Plains will see cooler conditions with some mixed precipitation possible, especially in the higher elevations. As the week progresses, a frontal boundary will push through the region, bringing additional precipitation chances and shifting temperature patterns.

Temperature Anomalies:

-Days 1-3: Significantly above normal temperatures across the Central Plains, with anomalies of 6-10°F above normal, particularly in Kansas, Nebraska, and parts of Oklahoma.

-Days 4-6: Continued above normal temperatures for the Central Plains and expanding into the Midwest, with the warmest anomalies (6-8°F above normal) centered on Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, and Missouri.

-Days 7-10: Warm anomalies persist but gradually moderate, with temperatures remaining 3-6°F above normal across much of the region, particularly in the Mississippi Valley.

## WEST:  
A complex weather pattern will affect the Western states, with multiple low pressure systems bringing precipitation to the region. The Pacific Northwest and Northern Rockies will experience mixed precipitation, with rain at lower elevations and snow possible at higher elevations. The Southwest, particularly portions of Arizona and New Mexico, will face the threat of heavy rainfall and potential flash flooding.

Low pressure systems along the West Coast will continue to bring periods of precipitation to California, Oregon, and Washington throughout the period. By midweek, an area of low pressure will develop in the Great Basin, potentially bringing additional precipitation to the interior West.

Temperature Anomalies:

-Days 1-3: Below normal temperatures across the Pacific Northwest and Northern Rockies, with anomalies of 3-6°F below normal. The Southwest will see near to slightly above normal temperatures.

-Days 4-6: Continued below normal temperatures for the Pacific Northwest and parts of California, with anomalies of 4-8°F below normal in some areas. The interior Southwest will experience warming to above normal levels.

-Days 7-10: Temperature pattern begins to moderate, with below normal temperatures persisting in parts of the Great Basin and Intermountain West, while the rest of the region trends toward near normal values.

##TROPICAL:
Atlantic Basin: A tropical wave southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands is producing disorganized showers  within a favorable environment. There is a medium chance for development in the next 48 hours at 40%, and medium through the next 7 days at 50%. 

Pacific Basin: An area of low pressure is favored to develop near mid-week next week with favorable conditions leading to development later in the week. Current development through 48 hours is low near 0% and medium through 7 days at 40%.
