Train of storm systems to march across the Northwest US through Tuesday

A parade of storms for the northwestern United States will bring rounds of rain and mountain snow through early this week, but will this stormy pattern continue throughout the rest of November?

Rain will spread south along the Washington coast on Monday as an area of high pressure moves toward the Great Basin and the storm system over British Columbia moves inland.

Into Tuesday, rain and mountain snow will spread inland across the Northwest. Places like Spokane, Washington and Great Falls, Montana can expect a bit of cold rain as the storm system tracks inland.

Once again, valleys look to remain largely dry, but snow levels may drop enough for some accumulations in the highest passes of the Cascades.

A quiet weather pattern looks to set up through the end of this week. A storm system over the Southwest will push high pressure into the Northwest. This will keep the storm track north into Canada.

Outside of a couple of quick storms, the Northwest may remain largely dry through the rest of November. However, the pattern may flip in the beginning of December.

"A large storm system developing over the Gulf of Alaska and along the West coast is likely to bring a stormier pattern through the Northwest and northern Rockies," stated AccuWeather Long-Range Meteorologist Jack Boston, "with the potential for heavy mountain snowfalls and soaking to heavy rain and wind in the lower elevations during the first week of December."
