Homeland Security Threat Level: YELLOW (ELEVATED) National Weather West: The frontal system dropping out of the Rockies will continue to produce snow over much of that mountain range as it moves into the northwestern Plains. Snow accumulations of 1 to 4 inches are likely with more than a foot expected in higher terrain. Areas as far south as the Desert Southwest will see unseasonable snowfall in conjunction with this front. Some areas behind the front are experiencing temperatures more than 25 degrees below average for this time of year. The Southwest, from California to Texas, will have gusty winds. Sustained winds of 20 to 40 mph with gusts over 60 mph are possible across southern Arizona, New Mexico and west Texas. Fire danger will be high in the Desert Southwest, especially California and Arizona due to the strong winds and low relative humidity levels. A new storm system, containing the remnants of Hurricane Neki, will hit the Pacific Northwest tonight. The low pressure center will move into Canada, but the associated frontal system will pass through Washington and Oregon producing 3 to 5 inches of rain in coastal mountains.Midwest: The frontal system dropping out of the Rockies will produce a wintry mix of rain and snow is forecast from the Dakotas to Nebraska. The precipitation will spread southeastward throughout the day. Moisture from the Gulf of Mexico will be transported into the storm enhancing the rain and snow over the Plains. Conditions elsewhere in the region will be dry, but sustained winds are forecast to be 10 to 15 mph with gusts over 25 mph.South: Under high pressure most of the region will get a brief respite from precipitation. The tail end of a cold front will produce scattered showers and thunderstorms over northern and central Florida. The southern Plains and Texas will have sustained winds of 15 to 25 mph with gusts over 40 mph by afternoon. The strongest winds are forecast in the mountains of southwest Texas and southern New Mexico, with sustained winds of 20 to 40 mph with gusts over 60 mph. Tonight the cold front will move into western Oklahoma and central Texas producing severe thunderstorms and the potential for isolated tornadoes. By tomorrow afternoon the front will move eastward into eastern Oklahoma, eastern Texas, western Arkansas and western Louisiana.Northeast: The low pressure system over the Mid-Atlantic will produce a large band of precipitation that will move across the region today. Widespread rainfall of 1 to 2 inches is possible from Virginia to New England by the time the storm moves off shore tonight.(NOAA s National Weather Service, Various Media Sources) Fire Management Assistance Grant (FMAG) No activity.

Rain will continue to fall along the East Coast from the Mid-Atlantic States to central Florida through Wednesday. Areas from the lower Mississippi Valley to the Carolina coast could pick up 1 to 2 inches of rain, with some areas receiving 3 to 4 inches locally. Localized flooding is possible across the Mississippi Valley, Tennessee Valley, northern Georgia and the western Carolinas. Temperatures will range from the upper 50s to middle 60s in the northern areas while temperatures in the southern portions will be mainly in the mid 70s and upper 80s across Florida.Northeast Showers are expected inland from northern and eastern Virginia northward through eastern Maryland, Delaware, southern New Jersey, and southeastern Pennsylvania this morning. 1 to 2 inches of rain are possible from southern Virginia north to southeastern Pennsylvania and southern New Jersey through Wednesday morning with up to 3 inches possible along the coast. Rain, sleet and snow showers are possible for northern New York and northern New England. High temperatures will range from the middle 30s in northern and eastern Maine to the lower to middle 60s along the southern coastal plain.Midwest Rain will spread into the middle Mississippi Valley and the Ohio Valley by this afternoon, with some locally heavy rain possible by nightfall in the Ohio Valley. The rain will slowly move northward into lower Great Lakes tonight and Wednesday. On Wednesday a major storm will move into the Dakotas with some light rain showers. Cold air may change the rain over to snow over the western parts of North and South Dakota by Wednesday evening, with accumulating snow possible Wednesday night. The major storm moving out of the Rockies and into the Plains Thursday will bring heavy rain and damaging thunderstorms to a large area from southern Kansas through eastern Texas.West A major storm system will enter the Northwest today producing rain, snow, and very blustery winds across a large portion of the Northwest. Low-elevation rain and mountain snow will continue to spread eastward into the northern Rockies. Widespread snow is expected to impact the western U.S. behind the frontal system now moving inland. More than a foot of heavy snow is expected over the higher elevations of the Washington and Oregon Cascades and Wyoming and Utah. Temperatures will plunge behind the front, dropping the freezing level and creating conditions favorable for widespread snow as far south as central Arizona on Wednesday. Temperatures may drop as much as 30 degrees behind the front. High winds will also be prevalent across much of the desert southwest as a result of this system.Wind advisories and high wind watches have been posted across parts of the region in anticipation of strong winds today and Wednesday. Sustained winds of 20 to 40 mph, with gusts of 60 to 80 mph, are possible over parts of Wyoming, Arizona, Utah, Nevada, and California.(NOAA s National Weather Service, Various Media Sources) NOAA Prepares Citizens for Possible El Ni o Impacts in Hawaii and the Pacific NOAA climate experts say the strengthening El Ni o could mean a greater chance of late-season tropical cyclone development in the central Pacific, more high surf and less rainfall for the Hawaiian Islands during the upcoming wet season, which normally runs from October through April. Following the hurricane season, the presence of El Ni o is expected to bring drier than normal conditions for the remainder of the wet season, said Kevin Kodama, senior service hydrologist at NOAA s Honolulu Forecast Office. Drier than normal conditions will worsen existing severe to extreme drought over portions of the State if early wet season rainfall in October and November does not materialize. Current sea surface temperatures and computer models point to a continued strengthening of El Ni o conditions through the upcoming winter season. The central Pacific has already seen an above average number of tropical cyclones during this year s hurricane season. An El Ni o has the potential to create conditions that are ripe for tropical systems to develop near the end of the hurricane season.The Territories of Guam and American Samoa and the U.S.-affiliated Pacific Islands are also subject to weather extremes during El Ni o. (NOAA, Oct 20, 2009) Puerto Rico Petrochemical Storage Facility Fire Final Update An explosion and fire at a petrochemical storage facility near San Juan, Puerto Rico on October 23 was extinguished October 25, 2009.
