(WSYR-TV Syracuse, NY)
After a couple of days of sunshine and temperatures in the
mid 40s here in central New York we expect a brief cool
down. A weak cold front will drop south out of Canada later
tonight. While there will be little in the way of weather
associated with this front (other than a few clouds) it will
help to deliver some slight cooler air for Tuesday. A ridge
of high pressure will build back over us for the middle of
the week and our temperature should rise again, this time we
could crack 50 degrees. This same area of high pressure
should keep us dry into the start of Thursday. By Thursday,
a large area of low pressure moving through the central US
will begin to make its presence felt around here with
increasing clouds and a few light showers. Southeast winds
ahead of this approaching storm will help transport an
increasing amount of moisture so our chance for rain goes up
Friday. For a while Friday night into Saturday the rain
could come down hard. In spite of the rain our temperatures
should stay mild right through the weekend. |

Flood
Threat Builds on the Plains

(AccuWeather, Inc. State
College, PA) Steady rain will develop on the
Plains today as a storm system approaches. The rain will
slowly press northward and eastward across the central and
northern Plains into tonight, soaking much of this area
through Tuesday. The rain alone will not be heavy enough to
cause flooding problems. However, combined with runoff from
melting snow, flood waters could submerge some of the
low-lying and urban areas on the northern Plains. As the
storm plods eastward later this week, similar problems are
expected in the Ohio Valley and Appalachians. The snowpack
from the Dakotas into Wisconsin and Iowa currently contains
as much as 6 inches of equivalent liquid water in spots.
While this storm may not bring about widespread flooding,
some rivers will start to rise and continue to do so in
coming weeks as snow keeps melting and more storms sweep
through. This means that major flooding problems could loom
on the horizon. |

(AccuWeather, Inc. State
College, PA) Wet weather will overspread the
Plains today as a storm begins its journey eastward from the
Rockies. On the southern Plains, unsettled conditions could
even spark a few violent thunderstorms. The rain will come
as a storm emerges onto the Plains and soaks a vast portion
of this area before meandering eastward during the middle of
the week. On the southern Plains, rumbles of thunder will
accompany the rain at times today. While conditions remain
unfavorable for a widespread severe weather outbreak, a few
storms in eastern Texas and Oklahoma could still become
strong. Oklahoma City and Dallas are just two of the many
cities at risk for flooding rainfall, howling winds and hail
from these isolated storms before the day comes to a close.
Travelers will have to take it slow in these brief, blinding
downpours and be prepared for ponding on roadways and the
danger of hydroplaning. Tuesday into Wednesday,
thunderstorms will advance eastward, prowling over the lower
Mississippi Valley. |

(AccuWeather, Inc. State
College, PA) A major storm that began on
Monday in the southwest will bring damaging winds, flooding
rain, and blizzard conditions to respective areas of Japan
through midweek. Winds to 60 mph will affect most of Japan.
Heavy rain will lead to localized flooding. Across northern
Honshu and Hokkaido, it will be cold enough for snow. One to
two feet of snow will fall. Winds to 60 mph will create
blizzard conditions. Heavy snow hit Hokkaido over the
weekend. Fifteen inches of snow fell in Wakkanai on Sunday,
brining the snow depth to 3 feet. Major disruptions
including travel delays, power outages, and even airport
closures are expected. |
