After a busy work week of weather, quiet weather is expected across much of the country this weekend.
Saturday
High pressure is set to dominate across the country on Saturday, leading to little in the way of weather impacts to begin Presidents Day weekend. Only the coastal Pacific Northwest is expected to see rain and snow, with some snow showers at higher elevations in the northern Rockies and interior Pacific Northwest as a disturbance develops above the region.
Temperatures will be moderate across the country on Saturday, with few places expected to see abnormally hot or cold highs. In the Northeast, thermometers will peak in the upper-30s and lower-40s, dropping into the 20s in the northern reaches of Maine. Temperatures in the 20s and 30s will be found in the Great Lakes and Upper Midwest, rising to the 40s and 50s in the central and northern Plains, Ohio Valley, Mid-Atlantic and the central Mississippi Valley.
A relatively cool day is expected across much of the South, with temperatures largely peaking in the 50s from the Southern Plains to the Southeast. Highs will creep into the 60s in northern Florida and central and western Texas as well as in New Mexico, rising to the 70s in southern Florida and the Desert Southwest.
Meanwhile, temperatures in the 30s and lower 40s will dominate the Intermountain West, rising to the upper-40s and into the 50s in the Great Basin and Pacific Northwest while California sees highs in the 60s.
Sunday
The disturbance in the Northwest will continue to spread south and east on Sunday, bringing snow impacts into the Central Rockies. Meanwhile, a stationary front draped across the northern border will bring some snow showers to northern Minnesota and the Michigan Upper Peninsula.
The only other spot with expected weather on Sunday is in the Southwest along the southern border where another front is stalled out.
Highs in the 30s and 40s are expected across the Northern Tier, from the Pacific Northwest to the Northeast including the Northern Plains, Upper Midwest and Great Lakes. Similar temperatures are expected in the Central Rockies as well.
Highs in the 50s and 60s are expected in the Ohio Valley, Mid-Atlantic, central Mississippi Valley, central Plains, Southeast, Great Basin and in California, rising to the upper-60s and 70s in Florida, Texas and the Desert Southwest.
Monday
A more active weather pattern is expected by Presidents Day.
The disturbance over the Rockies will continue to dump snow from Colorado to Montana and Idaho, with coastal rain expected along the Washington and Oregon coast. Meanwhile, a low-pressure system over southern Canada will bring snow to the Great Lakes and scattered rain showers to the Ohio Valley, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. Elsewhere, some light rain activity is expected again in the Southwest.
Warm temperatures will be found across the eastern half of the nation of Monday. Highs in the 40s are expected across the Northeast, rising to the 50s and 60s in the Ohio Valley, Midwest, Great Plains and Mid-Atlantic. Temperatures will peak in the 70s across the Southeast, rising into the 80s in central and southern Texas and Florida. The only chilly spot comes to the northern reaches of the upper Midwest, where temperatures will peak in the 20s and 30s.
Highs in the 40s will be found in the northern and central Rockies, as well as the Pacific Northwest and Great Basin. Temperatures will rise into the 60s in California and the southern Rockies, rising to the 70s in the Desert Southwest.
