Snow targets Mid-Atlantic and Midwest, with heavy rain over the South
Flooding may develop in the South and across Southern California this week.

A hyperactive weather pattern is focused on the United States through the coming week. Storms in the eastern and central U.S. will drop swaths of plowable snow while a flood threat materializes to the south of that. On the West Coast, a short break in recent atmospheric rivers ends, and parched Southern California is likely to get in on the act this go.
Weather Watch
Winter-storm duo. Two storms will spread snow and ice across the eastern half of the Lower 48 over coming days as an active weather pattern continues. One band of snow accumulation should focus from Kentucky to the D.C. region and toward the shore. The other sets up from Kansas, through Chicago and the eastern Great Lakes.
Southern California rain. An atmospheric river is on the way to southern California this week. One to 3 inches of rain is forecast for much of the coastal region, with more in higher elevations and heavy snow likely in the Sierra Nevada.
Southern flood threat. On the southern side of the winter storm parade, rounds of heavy rain may lead to flooding across the South. As much as 6 to 8 inches of rain is forecast for parts of Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and the western Carolinas.

Monday morning weather map
On Friday, I shared a snow forecast from the National Blend of Models indicating a snowy period ahead. Two of the storms are becoming reality as the new work week begins.
The first will sweep through the Mid-Atlantic region Tuesday into Wednesday. Another developing over the Midwest will also focus on the midweek in that region.
