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.

NORTHWEST - A state of emergency is in effect for Washington State following intense rainfall leading to record breaking flooding along area rivers. Many rivers are in major flood stage, putting homes and businesses under water.<div class="twitter-tweet" style="display: flex; justify-content: center" data-twitt-post-id="1999008867167125943" src="https://x.com/GovBobFerguson/status/1999008867167125943"></div>The entire Skagit River Valley (in the 100 year flood plain) was given the "GO" order to evacuate early Thursday morning as the Skagit River continues to swell in Major Flood stage. The river is cresting near Mt. Vernon this morning, while water levels have dropped up river near the town of Concrete. The Skagit is expected to stay in major flood stage until late Friday night.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/Screenshot 2025-12-12 064346-1765547033628.png">The Skagit River is not alone in reaching major flood stage, or even an all-time high in river level. The Skokomish River and Nooksack (among others) are running incredibly high, inundating low lying areas in their flood plain. <img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/Screenshot 2025-12-11 073505-1765463737803.png"> <h1>Additional Rain This Weekend</h1>Rain continues to taper off in Washington before the jet stream drifts north with the rain Friday into Saturday. Another brief round of heavy showers looks to arrive late Saturday into early Sunday, but with much more modest rainfall totals.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/FORECAST-1765557410790.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>Additional rainfall is expected to top 1-2 inches for the highest elevations through Sunday morning, which isn't likely to lead to rivers re-swelling into major flood stage over the weekend.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/Screenshot 2025-12-12 064916-1765547363664.png">For more details, be sure to join us live and at :50 past the hour for your Western Regional forecast.

The Northern Tier of the country is no stranger to cold and Tuesday morning proved that with multiple record lows. Watertown, New York, saw a morning low of -18° which beat out the old record of -16° in 2008. Temperatures rebounded quickly Wednesday and Thursday, but another shot of arctic air is on the way into the weekend!<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/Screenshot 2025-12-11 110232-1765476183612.png"><h1>Another Blast Of Cold Air</h1>More dangerously cold weather expected at the end of the week and into the weekend.

A series of clipper systems will continue to track from the Midwest into the Ohio Valley and Mid-Atlantic over the next couple of days. The first system brought around 4-6" of snow from Iowa into Indiana late Thursday, with light snow still falling through the morning from Kentucky into Virginia. The next system moves in late Friday through Saturday with another round of snow and MUCH colder air, with some snowy impacts to the coast into Sunday. <img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/Screenshot 2025-12-12 061904-1765546116806.png">Alerts are already being issued ahead of the next system which may be slightly heavier than the first round of snow! With colder temperatures in place, fluffier snow is expected which could add up more quickly.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/Screenshot 2025-12-12 061918-1765546225548.png">Snow will pick back up on Saturday afternoon from Iowa and Illinois to move back into the Ohio Valley and Mid Atlantic region Saturday night. In addition, the moisture could bring parts of Interstate 95 their first snow of the season Sunday morning.

A Strong upper-level ridge off the coast of California is currently dominating the weather pattern, bringing widespread sunshine but also a lack of precipitation. The one exception is in the state's Central Valley, where locked-in fog has kept temperatures chilly and skies gray. More on that in a minute...<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/Screenshot 2025-12-11 162825-1765495734843.png">High pressure in the upper levels of the atmosphere means sinking, compressing air, and generally warmer temperatures. On Thursday, records fell up and down in the western states.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/Screenshot 2025-12-12 101936 - Copy-1765560001148.png"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/Screenshot 2025-12-12 101930-1765560001145.png">High temperature records up and down the western third of the country could fall through the weekend, as the upper-level ridge is forecasted to stubbornly remain in place over the coming days!<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/Screenshot 2025-12-12 102017-1765560065933.png"><h1>Tule Fog</h1>You may have noticed the persistent fog in the Central Valley, or even the much colder temperatures compared to the rest of the state. This fog is known as Tule (TOO-lee) Fog, and is somewhat common in the winter months. It's a radiational fog that occurs overnight, gets locked into the Central Valley (sometimes the Bay Area), and is beneficial to California's agricultural industry. However, with high pressure in the upper levels of the atmosphere not going anywhere lately, the Tule Fog has been incredibly persistent.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/Screenshot 2025-12-12 104921-1765561777784.png">The fog is making a huge difference in temperatures! On Thursday afternoon, Bakersfield was sitting under gray skies and a temperature of 45°. At the same time, over the Grapevine and into the valleys, temperatures were pushing into the upper 80s with blue skies!

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!

NORTHEAST - The northeastern U.S. is in for some wintry weather over the course of the week, with a couple of clipper systems dropping down from the northern Plains. The clippers continue with a fast-moving clipper system that will move out of the Upper Midwest and into the interior of the Northeast on Wednesday. This system will bring a brief but disruptive round of winter weather to several states. As the system pushes east, a wide swath of Winter Weather Advisories and Warnings is issued across the Interior Northeast and the higher elevations of the Appalachians. Snowfall totals across this region&nbsp;will range from 4 to 6 inches.&nbsp;<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/12-09_rne-1765403705611.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>One of the most significant impacts will come from a corridor of Blizzard Warnings in the Central Appalachians. In this region, snow accumulations of three to six inches combined with wind gusts up to 50 miles per hour will create dangerous whiteout conditions and severely reduced visibility. Travel will be extremely difficult to nearly impossible at times, as blowing snow-coated roads and obscured sight lines will be possible.&nbsp;<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/Screenshot 2025-12-10 040825-1765364957335.png"><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/Screenshot 2025-12-10 145530-1765403760115.png">Farther north, Snowfall totals will be even heavier in the snowbelts, where lake effect snowfall is expected to pick up throughout the week. Communities across the Tug Hill Plateau and the western Adirondacks can pick up up between 8 and 16 inches of snow, continuing an active stretch of winter weather for upstate New York.&nbsp;<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/Screenshot 2025-12-10 113556-1765391765064.png">Winds will be a problem for visibility late Wednesday into Thursday as the front moves through. Widespread 30-40 mph gusts are expected.Another clipper is forecast to track quickly behind it on Thursday, threatening parts of the Northern High Plains and the Ohio Valley with a mix of heavy snow and pockets of freezing rain. In anticipation, Winter Storm Watches are already issued in eastern Montana, signaling the potential for another round of hazardous travel and wintry disruptions.&nbsp;Be cautious because the air will turn cold later this week in places that receive rain from these clippers, while the roads remain wet, black ice could be a problem at the end of the week.

We can expect rounds of 25-30mph wind gusts. In some cases, maybe even higher than that! Watch out for those wind chill temperatures as they will drop as the winds come through with each clipper system.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/12-03 rnc bams3k wind-1764786148016.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>Clipper systems are notorious for bringing quick-accumulating snowfall. But, even if snow totals are not significant, it doesn't mean dangerous road conditions won't be present. The Iowa Department of Transportation reports over 70% of weather-related crashes happen when there is 2" or LESS of snowfall. Use caution on snowy roadways and most importantly: SLOW DOWN.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/Screenshot 2025-12-02 154321-1764715481857.png">Make sure to stay tuned to WeatherNation for all the latest details on these systems!

We're hoping many Thanksgiving travelers have made it home, because this next system has brought rain, ice, and snowfall from the Mid-South to the Northeast. The combination of an upper-level low drawing in cold air and a surface low pulling in warm Gulf moisture will set some of us up for ice, others for rain, and many for heavy snowfall. So gear up for what you can expect in your neighborhood. Kansas and Nebraska already saw 2-4" of snowfall on Monday morning.<div class="twitter-tweet" style="display: flex; justify-content: center" data-twitt-post-id="1995549367382753424" src="https://x.com/WeatherNation/status/1995549367382753424"></div><h2>Overall Set-Up</h2>Several components come into play when we talk about different types of wintry precipitation, and the temperature profile of the atmosphere is one of the most important. In this forecast, a strong upper-level low will draw in cold air aloft. At the surface, a low will pull in warm Gulf moisture. What happens between these layers determines whether precipitation falls as rain, freezing rain, sleet, a rain/snow mix, or snow.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/Screenshot 2025-12-01 041042-1764587449453.png">Winter alerts are starting to trim back as the low pressure system pushes farther north and east, but many remain in effect through tonight.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/Screenshot 2025-12-02 135101-1764708672189.png"><h2>Forecast Timing</h2>Based on current timing, snow will reach the Northeast through Tuesday night before the system exits offshore early Wednesday morning.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/2025-12-02 11-14-48-1764692115278.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>Snowfall totals will vary depending on how cold the temperatures get throughout the event. The heaviest totals are expected to climb over 6 inches in the Northeast. Our forecast models are topping out closer to a foot for northern New England.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/Screenshot 2025-12-02 135106-1764708709573.png">Ice accumulations generally range from a light glaze up to 0.1". When forecasts show totals approaching 0.25" or more, power outages become possible, and travel can become nearly impossible.

GULF COAST - Starting along the Gulf coast, a low-pressure system has emerged to bring soaking rain to our Gulf states through the overnight hours, to the Southeast Coast on Tuesday morning, and through the Atlantic Seaboard on Tuesday.This surface low will pull in tropical moisture and produce downpours across the South and Southeast, where temperatures will be warm enough to support rain and even a few thunderstorms. On the northern side of the system, ice and snow will become an issue across portions of the Mid-South, which you can read more about <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.weathernationtv.com/news/gulf-low-bringing-heavy-precipitation-across-the-nation">here.</a> As mentioned above, rain has begun and will continue to saturate the south into Tuesday before paralleling the Atlantic Coast on Tuesday.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/12-01 rse to rne-1764644703384.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>The Storm Prediction Center has kept a MARGINAL risk for severe storms in the panhandle of Florida through Tuesday.

However, this is largely beneficial rainfall as these areas have been struggling to get much rain recently. Severe to exceptional drought has developed because of the lack of rainfall.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/12/web2-1764692321720.png">

It is that time of year again—when millions of Americans hit the road or the skies to connect with friends and family.
