...Heavy mountain snow in the Sierra Nevada this weekend...

...Above average temperatures to spread across much of the central and
eastern U.S. through early next week...

...Severe thunderstorms and heavy rain possible across the southern Plains
Saturday and Sunday...

An increasingly active weather pattern is expected across the western and
central U.S. this weekend. A couple of Pacific frontal systems will push
across the West with widespread precipitation chances, including rain and
mountain snow. Heavy mountain snow is expected in the Sierra Nevada
through this weekend, especially late Saturday into Sunday as the second
system moves onshore in California. Snow totals will likely reach 2-4
feet, which will create dangerous travel conditions.

In the central and eastern U.S., a frontal boundary is expected to stall
across the southern Plains, Mid-Mississippi Valley, and Mid-Atlantic
tonight, then lift back north as a warm front this weekend. Broad
southerly flow will develop across the south-central U.S., which will
bring warm, moist air up from the Gulf and support a warming trend across
the eastern two-thirds of the nation. High temperatures are expected to
rise into the 80s across the north-central U.S., about 15-25 degrees above
average for this time of year. 

With warm, moist air in place, conditions in the south-central U.S. will
be favorable for severe thunderstorm development this weekend. Showers and
storms are expected to spread from the southern Plains to the Midwest,
with scattered severe thunderstorms possible across portions of the
southern Plains, where the Storm Prediction Center has issues Slight Risks
(level 2/5) for Saturday and Sunday. Severe wind gusts and hail are
expected to be the primary threats. Storms may also produce locally heavy
rainfall that may lead to scattered instances of flash flooding.
