The central pressure of the storm system was analyzed at 12 UTC at 989 mb and dropped as low as 981-982 mb earlier while centered over Colorado/Kansas.

Very cold air for late March is behind the cold front sinking into North Texas. Ahead of the cold front in the warm sector is Enhanced Risk for severe thunderstorms later in the evening including near New Orleans into Mississippi.

Minneapolis will see rising temperatures today as a warm front pushes north = rainfall rather than ongoing snowfall. What an ugly day.

The Ohio Valley will see warmth in the 70s with southerly winds in the warm sector. Cincy will be sunny and 70\u00b0F this afternoon for the best weather east of the Rockies.

The Upper Midwest and Central Plains west of the cold front only in the teens \u2014 some single digits in the Dakotas. Cold!

Pushing 60\u00b0F this morning in St. Louis. Chilly in New England in the 20s.

42% of the Lower 48 real-estate is at/below freezing, but only a fraction of the population ~8% (28M)

Snowfall continues behind the low as cold air settles into the Central Plains

The squall line through Louisiana and Mississippi will be the focus of Enhanced Risk of Severe Weather.

This temperature animation shows the rather slow progress of the Cold Front over the next 2-days, but the cold air behind it will freeze OKC and St Louis. No Spring yet!

Next 8 Days Weather Pattern

\"\"

Overall \u2014 more quiet week once this storm system exits into Canada, and the cold front clears the East Coast.

The West Coast will remain unsettled with waves of rainfall with coastal fronts = boatloads of moisture for continued snowfall in the mountains = MORE snowpack into April = GOOD!
