As a cold front moves offshore and high pressure returns to the Southeast, much of the region will see a dry and sunny day, with temperatures generally in the 60s.
A clipper system diving out of Canada will bring flurries and snow showers to the interior Northeast, while coastal areas will likely remain dry. Any accumulations from these snow showers will be minor, with a coating to perhaps 1 inch expected in the higher elevations.
Much of the central part of the country will remain dry and quiet as high pressure holds. This will lead to a mainly sunny sky across much of the region, with higher-than-average temperatures in most locations.
The weather will become a bit more active in the West, especially the Northwest, as a storm system moves onshore. This will bring an increase in clouds and a little snow, which will spread into the Great Basin later in the day. In addition to the clouds and snow, it will turn quite windy in spots in the wake of a cold front sweeping through. Ahead of the front, the Southwest will remain quite warm and sunny throughout much of the day.
