The Nation's Weather for Saturday, February 22, 2025

_____

NATIONAL SUMMARY

A storm moving into the Pacific Northwest will bring heavy

rain to western Washington and Oregon today. The rain will

be rather light early in the day, but it will fall much

heavier later on as an atmospheric river develops. Enough

rain will pour down and reach into higher elevations to

cause flooding and travel disruptions; there can also be a

heightened avalanche risk in the Cascades. Strong winds can

lead to power outages along the coasts of Washington and

Oregon. Meanwhile, a bit of rain moving across southern

Texas can freeze on surfaces early and lead to slippery

travel. It will primarily be dry with at least some sunshine

elsewhere. Cold air will linger east of the Rocky Mountains,

except in the Dakotas. Daily high temperatures for many will

be 10-20 degrees below the historical average.
