US Day 3 – 7 Hazards Outlook

Issued by the Weather Prediction Center (WPC)

Valid Monday, December 30th through Friday, January 3rd  

 …Overview…

A broad upper trough is forecast to set up atop the central and eastern U.S. for the latter half of this week, cooling temperatures and allowing for lake effect snow to form behind an exiting low pressure system accompanied by precipitation in the Northeast on Wednesday. Upstream, an upper ridge will build over the West Wednesday-Friday, though moist inflow into the Northwest could maintain precipitation chances there. Eastern Pacific energy/troughing looks to move inland Friday and quickly east across the West, which by next weekend could support a developing low pressure system over the Plains with possible north-central U.S. snow and south-central U.S. rain.

8 to 14 Day Outlook Summary 

Valid Saturday, January 4th through Friday, January 10th 

Synopsis: Mid-level high pressure is forecast to build along the West Coast, while mid-level low pressure strengthens over the East. This pattern favors Arctic high pressure shifting south from Canada during early January and the coldest temperatures so far this winter are expected to overspread the northern Great Plains and Midwest. An increased risk of a winter storm is forecast to shift from the Midwest to the Northeast from January 4 to 10.

Climate Prediction Center

Background

Vision

  • An informed society preparing for and responding to climate variations and their impacts

 

Mission 

  • CPC delivers real-time products and information that predict and describe climate variations on timescales from weeks to years thereby promoting effective management of climate risk and a climate-resilient society.

 

Expert Assessments 

  • Climate Prediction Center (CPC) meteorologists and oceanographers review climate and weather observations and data along with model results; assess their meaning, significance, and current status; and likely future climate impacts. Their findings are issued as assessments, advisories, special outlook discussions, and bulletins.

 

U.S Hazards Outlook

  • From Monday-Friday, the CPC issues an outlook of weather- and climate-related hazards to the United States for the next three to fourteen days.
