Northwest

Weather Underground Forecast for Sunday, November 08, 2009.

Wet weather will persist in the Northwestern US as the rest of the country remains under mild weather conditions on Sunday.

A low pressure system spinning off the West Coast will continue pushing a cold front over the Pacific Northwest and Northern Rockies. This will allow for scattered showers to persist over the region with snow likely at higher elevations. Much less rain is anticipated and may only last through the morning, as this system has used up most of its moisture the past two days. Expect no significant rainfall on Monday, but overcast skies and cool conditions will persist. Daytime highs will remain in the 40s and 50s over Washington and Oregon. Cold conditions will extend down the coast with daytime highs in the 60s and overnight lows expected to drop into the 30s. Thus, frost and freeze advisories will remain in effect in the valleys.

A low pressure system will track through the Northern Plains and into the Upper Midwest. This may kick up scattered showers throughout the day, but will most likely only trigger a clouds over the region. The Northern Plains and and Midwest will see high sin the 40s and 50s with mild weather. The Southern Plains will be hot, dry and breezy on Monday with high in the 80s and strong winds gusting up to 25 mph expected.

High pressure will continue dominating the East Coast, which will bring mostly sunny skies and dry weather. Highs will remain in the 50s in the Northeast as the Southeastern and Mid-Atlantic States will see highs near 80.

Temperatures in the Lower 48 states Saturday ranged from a low of 14 degrees at Reese River, Nev. to a high of 90 degrees at West Woodward, Okla.
