<p>The severe threat continues along the Interstate 10 from Louisiana to the Florida Panhandle. The Storm Prediction Center has issued a marginal risk for today, with wind gusts and tornadoes as threats.</p><p>As far as rainfall goes, totals will topple over 7 inches in some areas. Flooding will be a major concern along the Gulf Coast Saturday. Flood Watches are in place for parts of Southern Louisiana and the Florida Panhandle.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/12/FloodWatch-1701539594668.png">Across this area, expect a widespread 1-2" of rain, with totals along and south of I-20 upwards of 2-4". Models are projecting areas near I-10 receiving more than 6" of rain. Although, rain coming down at such fast rates causes flooding, this rain will eventually be beneficial as the South deal with the ongoing drought.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/12/2023-12-02 055727-1701521888157.png">Rounds of thunderstorms will continue to move to the northeast throughout the day. It will be a washout for many locations today. Watch for isolated severe warnings for the potential of a waterspout or tornado. The wet weather will continue through Saturday night and into Sunday in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas.</p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/12/5-1701529078540.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><p>For those headed to the Georgia-Alabama game on Saturday, bring an umbrella! It will be raining on and off throughout the day, with showers sliding south during the game. Post-game rain will clear a bit, but it will stay cloudy and mild with temperatures in the 60s.

<p style="margin: 0in; margin-bottom: .0001pt;"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; color: #454545;">Rob grew up in South Florida, where daily afternoon storms and hurricanes piqued his interest in meteorology early on. That interest was fostered by his teachers and his father, who one time brought him onto the roof of their home to watch a funnel cloud move through the Everglades several miles away. Years of filmmaking and tv production in high school gradually pushed him toward broadcast meteorology at Florida State University, where he joined and eventually led the student run daily weather show. After graduating with a Bachelors of Science in Meteorology, he began his career at KESQ in Palm Springs, California before heading to KFSN in Fresno and WLOS in Asheville, North Carolina. He has covered a diverse array of extreme weather events, including haboobs and flash flooding in the desert, extreme snow in the Sierra, hurricanes, and Appalachian ice storms. He also enjoys telling stories and reporting about weather issues.

<p>An abundant amount of moisture will be moving through the Northwest U.S. this weekend. This wave train will bring heavy coastal rain and heavy mountain snowfall totals. Multiple low-pressure systems will be moving in through the weekend: Saturday morning, then Saturday night into Sunday morning. The strongest wave looks to arrive with an atmospheric river Sunday through Tuesday. Most of the precipitation for the northern Rockies and the Bitterroots will fall as snow as temperatures will be cold enough to support snow at all levels, not just in the mountains. Another front looks to arrive Saturday night and into Sunday, keeping the pattern active through the weekend.</p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/12/6-1701529276435.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><h2>Snow Threat</h2><p><strong>Winter Weather Alerts</strong> are widespread through the Pacific Northwest through Sunday and into Monday for the northern Rockies for a combination of waves of snow. The forecast is calling for totals of up to two to four feet of snow in total for elevations above 4,000 feet.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/12/12-02 NW Alerts-1701524419930.jpg">With multiple rounds of heavy rain and snow possible, you will want to start planning ahead for those activities that are outdoors. There could be a walloping of mountain snowfall in parts of Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and especially Washington. Snowfall totals could exceed four FEET up on Stevens Pass. Snow could top 2 feet in much of the rest of the Cascades, with lower totals of around a foot for the Bitterroots and northern Rockies.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/12/12-02 NW Avy-1701524446585.jpg"></p><h2>Rain &amp; Flood Threat</h2><p>In terms of rain, expect a widespread 2-5" with locally higher totals. Some of those totals could be significantly higher, up near double digits.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/12/12-02 NW QPF-1701524494066.jpg">The heavy rain could cause widespread flooding, landslides, and debris flow around recent area burn scars. Flood alerts in effect <strong>THROUGH THURSDAY</strong> for much of the I-5 corridor to account for the risks mentioned above.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/12/1-1701491235240.png">This will continue to be a significant weather impact through at least Tuesday of the upcoming week. Plan for travel disruptions and consider altering travel plans and/or other activities in the heaviest-hit locations. We will stay on top of it here for you on WeatherNation!</p>

<p>Snow is underway for the 4 Corners, with more than half a foot falling in parts of New Mexico already! In Santa Fe, we saw 4-7" of snow, depending on the elevation. Telluride (above), also picked up on fresh snow, with opening day on Saturday!</p><div class="twitter-tweet" style="display: flex; justify-content: center" data-twitt-post-id="1730806497050083433" src="https://twitter.com/WeatherNation/status/1730806497050083433"></div><p>Winter weather alerts are in effect through Sunday as multiple waves of snow move through, but unlike Thursday's snowfall that favored New Mexico and Arizona, the next rounds of snow will be concentrated much farther north, hitting Utah and Colorado with some big time snow totals. If you are traveling to a winter destination, especially along portions of Interstates 15, 40, &amp; 70, drive slowly and allow extra time to get to your destination. Moderate to major impacts can be expected across those travel routes into Saturday.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/12/Screenshot 2023-12-02 081107-1701529877989.jpg">More energy streams through the area on Saturday, with the highest elevations seeing heavy snow all the way through Sunday. Snow showers could continue through Colorado even until Monday. By Monday afternoon and for much of the week, the weather conditions will dry and return to "blue bird" skies.</p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/12/7-1701529977540.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><p>The Wasatch Mountains in Utah will get the heaviest snow, with 20-30 inches possible! The Colorado Rockies will also get a good dumping of snow, with about one foot to perhaps two feet expected. Many ski resorts have opened within the past week or are opening this week, so the snowfall will certainly be welcomed for the Rockies!</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/12/Screenshot 2023-12-02 081402-1701530056008.jpg">If you plant to go up into the mountains to ski or snowboard, be careful! Low visibility and heavy snow will be on and off through the weekend, creating difficult driving conditions.</p>

Snowfall for the 4 Corners into the Weekend

<p>Get ready for heavy snow in New England! We anticipate steady snow, of over a foot or more possible, for northern New England Sunday into Monday. There is a bit of discrepancy between models on where the heaviest snow will fall and how widespread it could be, but the mountains are expected to pick up to a foot with coastal communities seeing less than 2". Snow will stay north of I-90 and the Mass Pike, favoring Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine along with the Adirondacks.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/12/Screenshot 2023-12-02 081511-1701530130536.jpg">Let's compare two models. As we said above, there is some discrepancy. The model we use here at WeatherNation (Baron) suggests 6-12" of snowfall for New York State's Adirondack Mountains, as well as Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, the White Mountains of New Hampshire, and much of northern Maine.</p><p>Meanwhile, the GFS (American) model suggests lesser snowfall, on the order of 3-7" accumulating in some of those same areas. The GFS model brings more snow down into the Upper Valley and Mass border.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/12/Screenshot 2023-12-02 081449-1701530201901.jpg">The Weather Prediction Center has highlighted the chance of heavy snow for the end of the weekend and beginning of next week. Winter alerts are likely to be added as the system draws closer and there is more clarity on the amount of snow potential across the area.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/12/wpc -1701461481843.png">Saturday will be mostly dry and cloudy before a coastal low in combination with energy in our upper atmosphere starts to push moisture from south to north overnight Saturday into Sunday. Wet weather continues throughout the day on Sunday with the higher elevations just cool enough to see heavy snowfall. Snow continues into Monday before the unsettled weather and area of low pressure responsible for the mess pushes offshore.</p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/12/8-1701530393068.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><p>The cold air will follow the snowy system with highs dropping into the upper 30s and lower 40s for much of New England and northern New York by Sunday and Monday.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/12/cold-1701461481840.png"></p>

<p>A messy system impacted the Central Plains, Upper Midwest and Great Lakes from Thursday into Friday. Our first storm system is now winding down but another one is right on it's heels for the weekend. Two areas of low pressure in our upper atmosphere will work together to develop rain snow and ice chances Saturday into Sunday. </p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/12/tandem waves-1701461102746.png"></p><p>As mentioned above the storm system impacting the Upper Midwest is winding down Friday evening and early Saturday morning with just a few pockets of light rain and snow possible. Another storm system arrives for the Upper Midwest on Saturday night, mostly as a cold rain, with snow possible by Sunday morning for central Wisconsin and Michigan where there is just enough cold air to support snowfall totals in the range of 3-6". This won't be a major winter storm by any means, but enough to make the roads slick Sunday. </p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2023/12/2023-12-01 12-58-58-1701460871717.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>

Taban Sharifi grew up in Southern California between Los Angeles and San Diego. She is a Certified Broadcast Meteorologist (CBM) with the American Meteorological Society (AMS). She has a B.S. in Atmospheric, Oceanic, and Environmental Sciences with a minor in Environmental Systems and Society from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). Go Bruins! While in school, Taban was a meteorology intern with NBC LA. There she helped forecast daily weather for the greater Los Angeles region and created a playbook to deploy weather sensors for NBC owned-and-operated stations across the country. Her first on-air job took her to San Angelo, Texas, where she was a morning meteorologist and co-anchor. Working in West Texas gave her knowledge and experience covering severe storms. From there, she moved to Palm Springs, California. People think forecasting in California is sunshine all the time, but with temperatures in the 120’s, wildfires, damaging winds, floodings, and earthquakes, the forecasting kept her very busy! She also worked there as a general assignment reporter and told community stories. Taban is excited for the challenge and opportunity to forecast nationally with WeatherNation. She also looks forward to exploring all that Colorado has to offer!

Kara has always been passionate about weather and knew from an early age that she wanted to become a meteorologist. Living in different regions of the country and experiencing weather events ranging from ice storms to tornadoes drove her to pursue a bachelor's degree in meteorology from the University of Oklahoma. Throughout college, storm chasing became a regular event for Kara, where she saw first-hand the power of the atmosphere. Kara graduated cum laude from OU and decided to further her meteorology education with a Master's degree from Mississippi State University. The deadly April 27, 2011 tornado outbreak struck while Kara was studying at MSU; her first “Dixie Alley” tornado event and an up close glimpse into the destruction of the storms she so closely studied. Her broadcast career began in Elvis’ birthplace, Tupelo, Mississippi, where she earned her Certified Broadcast Meteorologist seal from the American Meteorological Society. Kara's career has included coverage of all types of severe weather including tornado events, flooding and tropical systems across multiple southern states. Recently she helped cover the 2020 Easter Sunday deadly tornado outbreak in southeast Mississippi. In her free time, you can find Kara outdoors exploring new areas with her mini poodle,Truffles. Kara is also an avid runner and frequently races in 5Ks, 10Ks and half marathons.
