A sharp weather contrast is setting up across the country this week. Critical fire weather conditions are developing across parts of the central and southern High Plains, while repeated Pacific storms continue to bring heavy mountain snow to the West. Meanwhile, a strengthening system will spread snow and mixed precipitation from the Northern Plains to New England, and a potential coastal storm this weekend could bring wind and rain — or snow — to parts of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. Temperatures will swing dramatically as much colder air settles into the East by early next week.

An active weather pattern is unfolding across much of the United States this week. Severe thunderstorms and flooding rains will develop from the Plains into the Midwest, while late-season snow and icy conditions affect parts of the Great Lakes and northern New England. Meanwhile, the Pacific Northwest faces heavy rain and mountain snow, and unusually warm spring temperatures continue across much of the East and Southwest.
Several storm systems will move across the country through mid-week and into the weekend, bringing a mix of severe storms, winter weather, heavy rain, and record-setting warmth depending on location.
