The Nation's Weather for Saturday, March 2, 2024

_____

NATIONAL SUMMARY

Heavy rain and snow will continue across the West today as a

strong storm travels eastward across the region. Feet of

snow will pile up in the Sierra Nevada, where high winds

will combine to make for a blizzard with road closures and

power outages. In the Northwest, snow can mix with rain to

start the day in the lowlands. Thousands of miles to the

east, another storm will bring rain to much of the Northeast

and thunderstorms can erupt farther south in Alabama,

Georgia and Florida. Strong winds will develop across much

of the West as well as the center of the country. The strong

winds, building warmth and dry fuels will lead to a risk of

dangerous, fast-moving wildfires over the Plains to the

Upper Midwest. Temperatures will challenge record-high

levels during the day and at night.
