across a large portion of the western U.S. through the next couple of
days...

A rather vigorous and deep upper-level low currently approaching the West
Coast will result in the next wave of active and stormy weather to quickly
sweep through the western U.S. and into the Great Plains during the next
couple of days. Moderate to heavy rain and high-elevation heavy wet snow
are already reaching into the West Coast in earnest, especially across
central to northern California. The precipitation will expand quickly
inland across the Great Basin and a good portion of the Pacific Northwest
through tonight, reaching into the northern Rockies on Sunday, followed by
the central Rockies on Monday. This system will bring quite a bit of
wind, especially across southern California and Nevada through tonight,
from the Four Corners region to Wyoming on Sunday before overspreading
much of the High Plains on Monday. Two feet or more of heavy wet snow is
expected to accumulate along the Cascades in Oregon, with a foot along the
Sierra Nevada, and a foot or more for portions of the northern Cascades,
Great Basin, as well as northern and central Rockies through Monday. In
addition, severe thunderstorms are expected to develop over the central
Plains later on Monday ahead of a potent cold front. Meanwhile, the
center of an elongated deep low pressure system is forecast to track
across the northern Plains with wind-swept rain impacting the northern
High Plains on Monday.
