Summary/Highlights:

A very unsettled week of weather is forecast for the upcoming week as multiple storm systems move through the region. Temperatures this week are challenging to forecast as these storm systems contain many different fronts, or sudden changes in temperature over a short distance, which can affect temperatures greatly. However, the most uncertainty is present for the weekend of 10/24 into early next week as a large storm system enters the region. After a gradual warming trend early in the week leading to 70s by Thursday, temperatures remain rather uncertain for the weekend with current indications supporting 50s for high temperatures.

National Weather Headlines:

A storm system sweeping across the United States this week will bring the first real threat of accumulating snow to the northern states.

Warm conditions return to California and the Southwest, increasing fire danger from the west coast into the plains and perhaps midwest. Numerous storm systems moving throughout the central US should help to keep most of the fire risk confined to the western states.
