Weather pattern becoming more active

There are some signs that the weather pattern across the lower 48 states will turn more active over the next 3 to 7 days, helping break down a large ridge of high pressure that has been keeping much of the nation warm and dry.

Below is the forecast for accumulated liquid (equiv) precipitation over the next 5 days.



Still watching the cold air over Alaska, where it's currently 45 below zero with freezing fog in Fairbanks, AK.  Numerous locations across central AK are 40 to 55 below zero.  It's even below zero in Anchorage.
