NATIONAL SUMMARY

A storm developing off the Northwest coast will bring

occasional rain and drizzle to western Washington today.

Similarly, another storm will bring rain and drizzle to

South Texas; rain is expected to expand inland and freeze on

surfaces overnight. Except for lingering snow in the

Colorado Rockies and northern New York, the rest of the

country will be dry. It will be very cold east of the Rocky

Mountains, with high temperatures 15-25 degrees below the

historical average for late February. The Northeast will be

noticeably colder with a gusty breeze. In contrast, the

Desert Southwest will be warm and breezy. A Santa Ana wind

event in Southern California will bring wind gusts of 30-50

mph, but the fire risk will remain low due to recent rain.
