�Snow will develop over parts of the Northern Plains on Monday�

An upper-level trough over the Pacific Northwest will shepherd a front
moving eastward to the Northern/Central Plains and trailing into the Great
Basin by Wednesday. The system will produce rain and high-elevation snow
across the region through the forecast period. In addition, low pressure
over the Central High Plains will move northeastward to the Northern
Plains/Upper Mississippi Valley by Tuesday morning before dissipating.

The storm will produce rain over parts of the Northern/Central Plains into
the Upper Mississippi Valley through Wednesday morning. Wet snow will
develop over the Northern Plains through Tuesday evening.

Furthermore, showers and thunderstorms will develop along and ahead of the
dryline over the Southern High Plains through Tuesday morning.
Additionally, easterly flow off the Gulf will aid in producing showers and
thunderstorms over parts of the Western Gulf Coast into eastern Texas,
likewise, through Wednesday. Similarly, easterly flow off the Atlantic
will produce showers and thunderstorms over the east coast of Florida and
the Keys.
