Midweek Warmup Spreads as Forecasters Track Late‑Week Storm and Aurora Chances

Forecast attention shifts to a late‑week system with rain, strong winds, plus regional snow risks.

Overview

  • Temperatures are rebounding into the 50s and 60s for many areas through late week, with sunshine returning after the early‑week Arctic chill.
  • Breezy conditions persist midweek, with frequent gusts near 30 mph reported in several regions despite the warmer trend.
  • Most locales stay dry through midweek, though guidance points to a developing late‑week into weekend system capable of heavy rain, strong gusts and localized flooding in low‑lying or poor‑drainage spots.
  • Higher elevations and northern areas could see rain changing to snow or a wintry mix this weekend, with light mountain accumulations possible as colder air follows a front.
  • NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center confirms a severe geomagnetic storm through Wednesday night, following widespread aurora sightings with another chance to view depending on sky conditions.
