<p>A series of atmospheric rivers has been responsible for wet, windy, and snowy weather in the northwestern U.S over the last few weeks. Our system is currently moving through Washington, Oregon, and the northern tier of California, bringing heavy rainfall and snow. Above is the forecast rainfall totals for the next several days. Gold Beach in Oregon has already picked up 2.51" of rainfall in the past 24 hours.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/Screenshot 2025-11-05 124205-1762371739660.png">With multiple inches of rain on the way, the Weather Prediction Center is monitoring coastal areas at a level 1, <strong>MARGINAL</strong>, risk for excessive rainfall that may lead to flash flooding.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/Screenshot 2025-11-05 095854-1762361963192.png"></p><p>With such a strong trough ushering the rain onshore, it could also help organize a storm or two.

Places like the Cascades and Northern Rockies are expected to get anywhere from 6" to up to a foot of snow or more! Our in-house model is predicting over 2 feet of snow on the northern Cascades mountain peaks by Friday!<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/1-1762382705672.png">Be sure to join us at :50 past the hour for more details during your West Regional Forecast.</p>

Next Big Push of Moisture in the Northwest

1png-1762382116166.png

Alana Cameron was born and raised in Canada in the city of Mississauga, just outside of Toronto. Alana is the oldest of 4 siblings, all close in age, and grew up playing outside with them in all types of weather. After graduating high school, Alana moved to study at the University of British Columbia in Kelowna for a year before transferring to Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia where she completed a Bachelor of Science in Physics and Atmospheric Science. Upon completion, Alana moved back to Toronto where she completed a post-grad degree in Meteorology at York University. After her post-grad, she went on to complete another post-grad in Broadcast Journalism - TV News at Fanshawe College in London, Ontario. During her final year of studies she had the privilege of interning with the best in the business in Canada at The Weather Network. Once she finished her internship, she got the call from small-town Denison, Texas where she accepted a job as an on-air meteorologist at KTEN-TV, right in tornado alley, covering severe weather from Sherman/Denison (North Texas) to Ada (Southern Oklahoma). After the most active tornado season Oklahoma had seen in May 2019 (105 tornadoes!) Alana is excited to join WeatherNation to cover weather all across the nation. If you're interested in following her on social media she can be found @alanacameronwx!

<p><strong>NORTHEAST - </strong>The Storm Prediction Center has maintained an overnight <strong>MARGINAL</strong> (level 1 out of 5) risk for severe weather overnight across portions of the northeastern U.S. for a few gusty storms that could reach severe limits as our cold front exits.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/main threattttt-1762392343860.png"></p><h2>Wind + Fire Danger</h2><p>Widespread wind alerts remain in place through Thursday.

Windy and Stormy Weather For The Northeast

<p><strong>NORTHERN PLAINS - </strong>As we head into the end of the week, an upper-level trough north of the border will usher cooler air into the northern U.S. With a couple of fronts passing through, temperatures may drop low enough to support some snow. So it’s time to brush up on our winter terminology, early winter snowstorms are here!</p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/11-05_rnc set up cool-1762394586933.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><p>Starting Thursday, the first of two cold fronts will drop into the northern Plains. This first front will bring mostly rain to the U.S., with a few flurries possible. Once the second front moves through on Friday afternoon and evening, it should be cold enough to bring snow chances to North Dakota, Minnesota, and the Great Lakes region.</p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/11-05_rnc bams3k 18z-1762394643314.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video><h2>Snow Models</h2><p>Forecast models have been a bit inconsistent on the temperature profile, but are starting to line up better with one another. The position of the freeze line could greatly impact who will see snowfall with these clippers. Our in-house model favors heavier amounts farther north.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/Screenshot 2025-11-05 190223-1762394696523.png">Whereas, the GFS (American) Model favors lower amounts, farther south.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/Screenshot 2025-11-05 190229-1762394701730.png"></p><p>Afternoon temperatures in larger cities like Minneapolis should stay warm enough by the end of the week that any flurries that fall will likely melt fairly quickly.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/Screenshot 2025-11-05 190531-1762394736734.png"><br>Those low temperatures will drop quickly, though.

First Snow Forecast of the Season for the Northern Plains

ezgif21ce9b377edcf5gif-1762394837589.gif

<p>This is an interesting setup that's been piquing our interest most of the week. A <span style="color: rgb(32, 33, 34)">piñata</span> of cold air is lurking in southern Canada, and a clipper will unlock a surge of cold air, dropping temperatures into the 40s-50s in FLORIDA early next week. That radical clash of two different air masses should be enough to spark storms. But will they become severe?</p><hr><h1>SETUP</h1><p>A parade of weaker frontal boundaries will be overtaken by the strongest one of the week. Temperatures will likely drop some 20 degrees in many locations, giving folks east of the Rockies the coldest shot of air of the season. It's a fine balance between having too much of one ingredient and not enough of another. This is where the uncertainty in this forecast lives.</p><p><img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/Screenshot 2025-11-05 093905-1762361168975.png"></p><h1>WHAT'S MISSING</h1><h2>As this powerful front drops south, it will slow down a bit. As it moves into temperatures in the 70s-80s, the forward speed will drop. The lift aspect of the front will not be quite as high as it will be further north. <img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/Screenshot 2025-11-05 094216-1762361184074.png"><strong>WHAT COULD CHANGE</strong></h2><p>There is still time to change the outcome. The fast-moving nature of these systems can lead to over- and underestimations of specific ingredients. A faster-moving front would increase the severe risk farther south, while a better northward pull of unstable air would expand the threat north. Here's how the latest model has this playing out Friday and Saturday.</p><video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2025/11/11-05_east bams3k 18z-1762394943506.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>

How Big Did the Hail Get in Texas Saturday?

The strong winds will continue to impact the Northwest coast today.  The winds will create dangerous driving conditions on the roads, but the other impact will be the major surf the winds are creating high surf, dangerous rip currents and beach erosion.  This weather pattern should last the next few days.  Here is the very latest.
<h1>Marine Alerts</h1>
<h1><img class="alignnone wp-image-101176 size-full" src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2018/12/7day-9.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" /></h1>
High Surf Warnings and Advisories are in place along the West Coast from California to Washington.  This means dangerously high surf will batter the beaches, producing deadly rip currents and eroding of the beaches.
<h1>Morning Wave Heights</h1>
Take a look at some of the wave heights that were already impacting the coasts of Washington and Oregon early this morning.

<img class="alignnone wp-image-101177 size-full" src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2018/12/7day1-8.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" />

Seas will generally range from 20-26' through the morning and could rebuild again for Monday afternoon into the 23-25' range.
<h1>Safety</h1>
With conditions like this you will not want to walk or climb on jetties, rocks or low coastal cliffs.  You will want to stay out of the surf zone as well because large drift logs and other floating debris could be hidden in these areas.
