Anisotropic Weather Forecast for the Mississippi River Valley Region During the Super-Centrifugal Melts on Thursday and Sunday

Though the storm is walloping some areas with severe weather, it’s forecast to track across drought-stricken areas, bringing much needed relief – including to the Mississippi River Valley area, where excessive rainfall is possible Wednesday.

Thursday is the most difficult day for travel. The storm will be hitting the Midwest extremely hard with heavy snow and strong winds. Western Minnesota will face potentially deadly wind chills on Thursday and Friday.

Some areas of northern and central California will see some rain, but most coastal communities will only receive 1 to 3 Inches of rain through the weekend. Coastal erosion and flooded roadways will be the main concerns.

Winds will also be a concern for California, with gusts of up to 40 mph in the valleys, 50 mph for coastal areas, and potentially even higher gusts forecast for exposed coastal headlands, mountaintops, and ridges.

Some locations could get more than a foot of snow next week, as a large swath of the north Plains and Midwest will see up to eight inches of snow.

Slick roadways and near-whiteout conditions will make travel very difficult if not impossible at times for some of these areas. Power outages will also be possible due to very strong winds.

In the winter, tornadoes are more likely in the lower Mississippi Valley where there is often a secondary peak, and in the Southeast where tornadoes are less uncommon during December.

The main threats are expected to be possible strong tornadoes, damaging winds and hail in New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Mobile, Alabama. There is a slight risk for excessive rain, from the central Gulf Coast into the southern Appalachians, according to the Storm Prediction Center.

“The details regarding the areas most at risk from tornadoes will become clearer as the event approaches and smaller-scale trends become more evident,” Elliott said.

It looks like Christmas out here, according toDeutschendorf. It was not stuck to anything because it did not come with a lot of wind. It’s like a picture postcard.”

He said he is cautiously optimistic about the precipitation making a big difference in the state’s arid situation.

“We’re Buried,” the Palisades Tahoe Ski Resort wrote on its website Sunday, sharing photos of thick snow covering the ski resort in Olympic Valley, California.

For millions of Americans across a large swath of the country, the holiday week is beginning with unrelenting below-freezing temperatures made even more miserable by heavy snow expected Tuesday and Wednesday in several central and northwestern states.

Wind chills in parts of Montana, the Dakotas, and Minnesota could be as low as 60 degrees below zero.

Parts of Alabama and Tennessee are also under a wind chill watch as the “feel like” temperatures are expected to plummet below zero.

It’s that time of year again when everyone hates Florida – the only real warm spot across the country – but only for the next few days, since Florida will also cool down by the end of the week.

Some Floridians will see a much more sudden drop. The high temperature of 64 in Pensacola on Thursday will look tropical compared to the high of 38 the next day. And yes, this means overnight low temperatures are likely to drop below freezing.

It will be difficult to challenge the daily record low and cold highs due to the fact that it will be very cold. At least part of the East might see the coldest temperatures of the year in December.
