NATIONAL SUMMARY

Snow will spread from Montana to Wyoming and Colorado today

and this evening as a new blast of Arctic air surges to the

south over the Great Plains. A developing storm is forecast

to bring afternoon showers to parts of some of Arkansas and

eastern Missouri. There can also be spotty showers in South

Florida otherwise. Most other areas will be dry. The windy

spots will be the northern Plains and from western Texas to

eastern New Mexico. New England and the mid-Atlantic will

trend warmer for a brief time today, ahead of the next push

of Arctic air for later this weekend to early next week. The

West will be generally dry, sunny and cool. Light winds are

in store for coastal areas of Southern California, but smoke

from existing fires may be a problem for individuals with

respiratory issues.
