US Day 3 – 7 Hazards Outlook
Issued by the Weather Prediction Center (WPC)
Valid Saturday, October 26th through Wednesday, October 30th
…Overview…
A predominantly zonal pattern across the mainland U.S. will give way to a more amplified pattern by next week. The prevailing tranquil weather this weekend across much of the country will become more unsettled across the western U.S. with periods of rain, high-elevation snow and gusty winds. The trough that brings the unsettled weather in the West early next week will likely be pushing east against a warm high pressure system in the eastern U.S., resulting in a sharp and wavy frontal boundary to drape across the mid-section of the country where bands of moderate to locally heavy rain appear possible.

US Weather Hazards
Issued by the Climate Prediction Center
8 to 14 Day Outlook Summary
Valid Thursday, October 31st through Wednesday, November 6th
Synopsis: Mid-level low (high) pressure over the western (eastern) half of the contiguous U.S. (CONUS) is predicted for much of the week-2 period. This pattern favors a slight risk of heavy precipitation for parts of the Middle and Lower Mississippi Valley, and Central and Southern Plains, with the potential for high winds across the central CONUS during the first half of the period. Amplified mid-level low pressure over the Bering Sea and Alaska Mainland is predicted to accompany surface lows over the Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska that could lead to high winds to coastal portions of southern Alaska including southwestern Alaska and the Aleutians. Heavy precipitation is also expected along the south-central and southeastern coasts of Alaska, from Prince William Sound to Ketchikan.
