The Nation's Weather for Wednesday, February 21, 2024

_____

NATIONAL SUMMARY

A storm will continue to affect the West today by spreading

showers across much of the region. Runoff from prior heavy

rain may lead to flooding and mudslides, especially in

California. Pockets of steadier rain can form in Wyoming,

Utah and Colorado. Steady snow will spread across the high

elevations of this region as well. Elsewhere across the

nation, high pressure will provide dry weather. An exception

will be the risk of nighttime severe thunderstorms from

parts of the central Plains to the mid-Mississippi Valley.

Temperatures will continue to trend well above historical

averages across the southern Plains, getting into the 70s

and 80s in Texas. Much of the northern Plains and Great

Lakes will also experience temperatures 10-15 degrees

Fahrenheit above historical averages.
