What to Expect from the Upcoming Storms in the USA
The storms this week will bring a mix of rain, wind, and snow, affecting various regions differently. As the first storm approaches, here’s what you can expect:

Impact of Storm One: Rainfall and Winds
The first storm will bring widespread rain starting early Tuesday. Expect rain totals to vary, with coastal and valley areas receiving between 0.25 to 0.75 inches, while mountains could see up to 1 inch. Winds will also intensify, reaching 20-30 mph in lower areas and up to 45 mph in the mountains. Be cautious during your commute!
Storm Two: Heavy Rain and Snow Forecast
The second storm, arriving Thursday, is anticipated to be much stronger. Rainfall could reach 1.50 inches in coastal and valley regions, while mountains may see 1 to 3 inches. Snow levels will drop significantly, leading to snowfall in higher elevations. Travel in these areas could be hazardous, so consider working from home if possible.
After the Storms: What Comes Next?
After the storms pass, expect a brief period of drier weather on Friday, with isolated showers possible. The weekend looks to warm up, but another weaker storm may bring rain early next week. While this rain is beneficial for drought conditions, it won’t fully eliminate the deficit. Are we prepared for the ongoing weather challenges?
