Summary of Forecasts and Hazards
US Hazards Outlook
NWS Climate Prediction Center College Park MD
300 PM
EDT April 03 2025
Synopsis: Mid-level low pressure is forecast
across the eastern contiguous U.S. (CONUS) early in week-2, with dynamical
models continuing to indicate an area of surface low pressure forming along the
Eastern Seaboard. While below-normal temperatures continue to be likely across
much of the East, moderation is likely compared to the late week-1 period and
it is less likely minimum temperatures will cause any additional impacts to
vegetation in week-2. Mid-level high pressure is forecast to shift across the
central CONUS, with models trending stronger with mid-level low pressure
upstream across the Northwest. This favors increasing pressure gradients and
elevated wind speeds across much of the Great Plains and Upper and Middle
Mississippi Valley, which in combination with above-normal temperatures and dry
soils, can increase the wildfire risk over some of these areas. An offshore
flow pattern is predicted to develop across California.
Hazards
- Slight risk of heavy precipitation across coastal portions of the
Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, Fri-Sun, Apr 11-13.
- Slight risk of high winds across much of the Great Plains and Upper and
Middle Mississippi Valley, Fri-Mon, Apr 11-14.
- Slight risk of high winds across portions of California, Fri-Mon, Apr
11-14.
