...Heavy rainfall and severe weather possible over portions of the Lower
Mississippi Valley and Southeast today...

...Heavy snow expected over the Central/Southern High Plains today...

A snapshot of our weather pattern across the Lower 48 tonight depicts a
series of shortwave troughs near the Nation's Midsection, with an
upper-ridge located over the Eastern Seaboard. At the surface, a strong
Colorado Low is forecast to lift from the Upper Midwest into Northeast
Canada today, pulling a cold front southward across the High Plains to the
Ohio Valley. Upslope flow from this front combined with a slug of Pacific
moisture will lead to 6-8" of snowfall across the Central/Southern High
Plains today, where a swath of Winter Storm Warnings are in effect.
Meanwhile, in the Lower Mississippi Valley and Southeast, a current of
warm and unstable air continues to migrate northward ahead of the cold
front. As the front stalls out over the region today, numerous instances
of flash flooding are expected over portions of southern Mississippi and
adjacent Louisiana as thunderstorms train and repeat, potentially leading
to 5-8" of rainfall when all is said and done. A few tornadoes, wind. and
hail are also expected with these thunderstorms per the latest Storm
Prediction Center forecast. By Saturday and Sunday, the front is forecast
to migrate into the Mid-Atlantic, ushering in widespread (but benign)
rainfall to the region. Pockets of freezing rain and elevation snows
remain possible over portions of New England with this upcoming round,
however.

...Overview...
Drier weather is expected across much of the country early next
week as high pressure sprawls from the Interior West to the
Southeast, but a frontal system is expected to bring precipitation
into the Pacific Northwest. Mid-next week looks to remain dry for
the Western and Central U.S., but precipitation chances will likely
increase across the East under an amplifying upper trough.
Temperatures will trend above average across the Western and
Central U.S. in the proximity of the amplified ridge, with the
greatest anomalies for the northern/central Plains, while the
Southeast is below average under the base of an amplified upper
level trough.


...Guidance/Predictability Assessment...
Model guidance continues to show good agreement on the overall
pattern through next week. Details issues increase with time, as
usual. WPC's morning pressures/fronts were created from a
deterministic 00z model blend, with an increase in ensemble mean
usage from the 00z NAEFS and 12z ECMWF ensemble means later on to
help smooth out model differences mid next week. This served as a
good starting point that should be consistent with the 01z NBM.


...Weather/Hazards Highlights...
Precipitation chances decrease for most of the country early next
week, except for portions of the Pacific Northwest that will see
increasing precipitation as a Pacific system approaches. Moderate
to locally heavy rainfall will be possible for regions along the
Olympics and northern Cascades in Washington into Monday, though
amounts look low enough to preclude outlook areas for the Day 4
and 5 Excessive Rainfall Outlooks. Moderate snows will be possible
for higher elevations.

Elsewhere, additional upper-waves within mean-troughing over the
Eastern U.S. could bring additional snow showers to favorable
lake-effect zones of the Great Lakes. These chances look to
increase by mid-week as a more organized clipper-like system
swings through the region underneath an amplifying upper trough.
Precipitation chances are also forecast to increase throughout the
Gulf Coast region and northward along the East Coast mid-next week
as moist return flow increases ahead of a stronger upper-wave and
associated cold front.

Temperatures this weekend and into early to mid-next week will
trend above average across the Western and Central U.S. as an
upper-ridge builds and remains anchored over the region. The
greatest anomalies of 15 to 20 degrees are expected to expand from
the Northern to Central Plains Sunday to Tuesday before returning
a bit closer to average Wednesday-Thursday. Despite mean-upper
troughing overhead, temperatures across the Eastern U.S. look to
generally remain around if not slightly above average. Below
average temperatures are most likely across the Southeast next
week.

Valid 00Z Sat 10 Jan 2026 - 00Z Sat 17 Jan 2026

A flat ridge aloft and surface high pressure initially in place
across the islands will weaken...which allows a weakening cold
front to stall and dissipate just north of the island during the
upcoming evening. The amplification of a mid-level longwave trough
Sunday into Monday should help drive a stronger surface boundary
from northwest to southeast. The moisture should linger and be in
place for the arrival on Thursday of the next surface front
associated with the approach of a second shortwave trough
embedded within the amplifying longwave trough.

Model agreement tended to be very good until late Tuesday or
early Wednesday in terms of both placement of the features and
pattern evolution of the mass fields. At that point the GFS
becomes more progressive than the ECMWF. Given the strength of the
downstream ridge as shown by their respective ensembles...tended
to favor the slower ECMWF solution although the agreement is still
decent. After a relative lull for the the next few days...trades
should strengthen in the wake of this stronger front on Tuesday
and then veer to a more east southeasterly direction on Wednesday.
It is expected that this pattern will continue to support a
relatively active pattern over the next 7+ days.

..THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF EXCESSIVE RAINFALL ACROSS PORTIONS
OF SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI AND ADJACENT LOUISIANA...

...16Z update...

The OSPO Advected LPW product showed the axis of anomalous moisture
in place over the Lower Mississippi Valley (2 to 4 standard
deviations above the mean) with origins in the middle and upper
levels to the tropical eastern Pacific, while low level moisture
was originating from the Gulf. The dual connection of moisture has
resulted in higher end rainfall events in the past so several of
the 12Z CAMs showing 7+ inches over the 24 hour window ending
Saturday morning look believable.

Ongoing axes of heavy rain were observed along the eastern LA/MS
border between Baton Rouge and Hattiesburg early this morning with
hourly rainfall of 1 to 2+ inches and 2 to 4 inches through just
prior to 16Z. Similar potential will exist over the next 12-24
hours with the likelihood for several training axes to develop
across the Lower Mississippi Valley. The greatest probability of
overlap of heavy rainfall axes looks to be within the Moderate Risk
which was expanded northeastward into western Alabama where 24 hour
rainfall of at least 3 to 6 inches looks likely.

Other adjustments for the 16Z update included a small southwestern
shift to the Marginal, Slight and 25% contour across eastern Texas
into Louisiana, in line with the latest 12Z HREF.

...previous discussion follows...


The classic synoptic setup for a winter flash flooding event
continues to slowly adjust to the timing/orientation of the
upstream shortwave over the Southwest U.S. The very strong leading
cyclone across the Great Lakes will continue to zip along to the
east-northeast with well above normal (4 Standard Anomaly/99th
percentile) moisture and flux still streaming across the Ohio and
Tennessee Valley. Ongoing thunderstorms are expected across the
Lower MS Valley as morning surge of Gulf air streams northward
becoming increasingly confluent/convergent well ahead of the
upstream synoptic front in the Plains.

The strong upstream base of the positive tilt trof will be
advancing throughout the day into the Plains, though the upper-
level jet streak also be expanding and strengthening across the
Ozark Plateau into the Ohio River Valley from 110kts to over 150kts
by the end of the forecast period. The trough will also be shearing
into the confluent, increasingly unidirectional low to mid-level
flow allowing for a deep southwest to northeast atmospheric river
from the western Gulf up the Lower Mississippi and through the
Tennessee River Valley into the southern Appalachians/Cumberland
Plateau through the majority of the day. While the low level flow
will be weaker than Thursday, 850-700mb 40-45kts and 1.5-1.75"
total PWat values will allow for high moisture flux convergence and
support efficient rainfall production.

As the trends have slowed the upstream shortwave, this allows for
greater flux of unstable air northward and forcing to
overlap/intersect with 1000-1500 J/kg of MLCAPE across the Coastal
Plain reducing toward 500 J/kg near the southern TN border, pulsing
with northward surges as the shortwave lifts out. This will provide
enough ascent and low level shear for organized bands of
convection that will likely have training elements throughout the
day. Rain-rates of 1.5"/hr are probable though 00z Hi-Res CAMs
support occasional up-ticks to 2"+/hr locally. Combined with the
training profiles, 00z HREF shows solid 15-25% 3"/3hr probability
across Southern MS into far northeast LA, with nearly 50%
neighborhood probability of 5". As such, and in coordination with
local forecast offices, WPC is introducing a small Moderate Risk of
Excessive Rainfall for S MS and adjacent NE LA. It should be
noted, there is solid agreement within the guidance suite of 5-8"
total streaks but there is limited agreement in the placement
particularly west or east.

Thunderstorms will train, but as they move northeast into Middle to
eastern TN and northern and central AL, intensity and rainfall
totals are likely to diminish, given instability will be limited
to 200-300 J/kg. Yet, prolonged duration and sizable totals of 2-4"
are still possible and so the Slight Risk continues to be in place
downstream across much of AL, northern GA, and southeast TN.

Upstream, as the main forcing exits, a secondary axis of
convergence along instability/moisture gradient across eastern
Texas will produce additional, slightly more elevated
thunderstorms. Similar rates of 1.5" to 2"/hr are possible with
some repeating/training tracks across NW LA, though overall
duration and coverage should limit rainfall totals to 2-4" relative
to the Moderate Risk area further southeast. As such, the Slight
Risk was also expanded westward along the axis of best overall
model agreement.

...Upper Midwest & Upper Great Lakes...
Day 1...

A swath of heavy/wet snow is ongoing along the western flank of a
storm system racing northeast through the Great Lakes. Snow bands
co-located beneath a classic 250mb jet coupling setup is
maximizing divergence atop the atmosphere at the same time
850-700mb FGEN support intense vertical velocities into a well
saturated DGZ. Boundary layer temperatures are marginally cold,
relaying heavily on the robust vertical velocities aloft and heavy
snowfall rates to keep the depth of the atmospheric column below
freezing. WPC's HREF Snowband Probability Tracker show the
potential for 1"/hr snowfall rates early this morning over
northern WI and the central MI U.P. that includes the Huron
Mountains. The latest forecast calls for 1-3" of snow over north-
central WI and into the heart of MI's U.P.. The Huron Mountains
have the best chances to see 4-6" of snowfall with localized totals
over 6" possible. WPC's WSSI shows largely Minor Impacts in these
areas, although localized Moderate Impacts (hazardous travel
conditions) are forecast around Marquette this morning. Snow tapers
off by midday as the storm races into southeast Canada.


...Central/Southern Rockies & Adjacent High Plains...
Day 1...

A vigorous upper level trough over the Four Corners region will
close off into a 500mb low this morning. This system will escort a
plume of Pacific moisture into the Rockies and central High
Plains. Subsequent PVA aloft and favorable jet streak dynamics will
work in tandem with easterly upsloping low-level winds to produce
heavy snow from the Palmer Divide and Sangre De Cristo to the Raton
Mesa and High Plains.

A closed 700mb low will develop over northern NM that gives rise
to a surface low forming in lee of the Sangre De Cristo mountains.
Snow levels will quickly fall below 5000ft by Friday morning, then
as the FGEN banding ensues over southwest KS, the OK Panhandle, and
the northern most counties of the TX Panhandle, snow levels will
fall to as low as 2,000ft during the day. Low-level easterly winds
over the central High Plains favors upslope flow into southern CO
and northern NM peaking early this morning as the 700mb low tracks
just south of Raton Pass. Where the best FGEN forcing sets up and
the strength of the 700mb low will be vital in where the heaviest
snowfall occurs and how far east away from the Raton Mesa and Front
Range the band of heavy snow can advance. Beneath the 700mb FGEN,
>1"/hr snowfall rates are expected. The latest HREF and WPC
Snowband Probability Tracker depicts this well with 1"/hr snowfall
rates possible anywhere between the Sangre De Cristo and Raton Mesa
to the TX/OK Panhandles and southwest KS. As the 700mb low moves
northeast Friday afternoon, it will weaken and open up into a
progressive 500mb shortwave, resulting in frontolysis over the High
Plains that diminishes precipitation rates and weakens dynamic
cooling aloft.

Recent 12-24 hour trends have been snowier in the High Plains as
far east as southwest KS thanks to the 700mb low remaining in tact
longer as it tracks east. The latest snowfall forecast calls for
anywhere from 6-12" of snow from the Front Range as far north as
Pikes Peak on south along the Sangre De Cristo and into Raton Mesa.
Given the recent trends for heavier snowfall protruding as far east
as southwest KS, snowfall totals of 4-8" (localized totals >8")
are likely in southeast CO, southwest KS, the OK Panhandle, and the
far northwest reaches of the TX Panhandle. The WSSI is showing a
larger swath of Moderate Impacts in these aforementioned areas
with localized Major Impacts highlighted along the Raton Mesa and
very close to I-25's Raton Pass.


...Great Lakes into the Northeast...
Days 2-3...

The shortwave trough responsible for the heavy snow in the the
southern and central Rockies/High Plains tracks eastward into the
MS Valley Saturday night. Farther north, a closed 500mb low in
southern Canada plunges into the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes. As
low pressure deepens over Lake Huron Saturday night, a deformation
zone of snow will envelope the northern Great Lakes. The focus for
heavy snow will be beneath the developing TROWAL that looks to
setup over the U.P. of Michigan. Over the past 24 hours, guidance
has trended more progressive with the storm system and its
associated TROWAL, which has continued the trend of gradually
decreasing snowfall totals. Latest WPC probabilities still show
moderate to high chances (50-75%) for snowfall amounts >4" in the
Porcupine and Huron Mountains of Michigan's U.P., as well as the
norther tier of Michigan's L.P.. Most odds for >6" of snowfall
remain in the 30-50% range, but the Huron Mountains and the tip of
Michigan's Mitten would be most favored for localized snowfall
totals over 8" given additional lake-enhanced snowfall there.

The same storm responsible for the snow over the northern Great
Lakes Saturday night into Sunday will also produce a hazardous
wintry mix across the interior Northeast and heavy snow in northern
New England. A strong >750kg/m/s IVT will direct copious amounts
of moisture northward Saturday into Saturday night. At the same
time, a cold front will inject just enough cold/dry air at the
surface with Canadian high pressure to the north creating a weak
CAD signature over the Northeast. This healthy 850-700mb WAA will
support a classic overrunning setup of >0C air aloft causing a
mixture of sleet/freezing rain to unfold beginning Saturday
afternoon and continuing into Saturday night/early Sunday morning.
Guidance has trended weaker with the primary low over southeast
Canada Saturday night, and with a developing secondary coastal low
near southern New England, the expectation is for sub-freezing
surface temperatures to persist longer. One potential issue for
snow in northern New England is the potential for a 700-300mb dry
slot that could sap moisture in the DGZ aloft over northern NY and
northern VT/NH.

Still, whether it is ice or snow, many of the interior mountain
ranges such as the Catskills, Berkshires, Greens, Adirondacks, and
Whites are favored to see the heaviest wintry precipitation
Saturday
night and into Sunday. As the coastal low takes over on Sunday,
lake-effect snow showers are likely to continue down wind of Lakes
Erie and Ontario while northern Maine would be more likely to see
periods of heavy snow. WPC probabilities indicate moderate chances
(40-70%) for minor ice accumulations over one- hundreth of an inch
across the Berkshires, Greens, Adirondacks, and Whites, with low
chances (10-30%) for ice greater than a tenth of an inch in the
Adirondacks. Regarding snowfall, WPC probabilities for >4" are
moderate (40-70%) over the White Mountains and northern Maine.
Northern Maine has the best chances for witnessing locally heavy
snowfall with low chance probabilities (10-30%) for snowfall totals
>8". With lake enhanced snowfall possible in wake of a cold
frontal passage on Sunday, the Tug Hill and Chautauqua Ridge are
sporting moderate-to-high chances (50-80%) for localized snowfall
totals >4" through Sunday night.
