An unsettled U.S. weather pattern will feature a series of fast-moving storm systems, as well as a sharp temperature gradient—termed a baroclinic zone—to help fuel them.  Over time, very cold air will make some southward progress, with widespread sub-0°F temperatures expected by early next week across the northern Plains and upper Midwest.  Still, warmth will linger across the Deep South, mainly from southern Texas to the southern Atlantic Coast.  Meanwhile, precipitation will end later today in the eastern U.S., although a new Pacific storm system—currently approaching northern California—will cross the middle Atlantic States on Saturday night, less than 3 days from now.  Subsequently, yet another system will affect much of the central and eastern U.S. early next week.  Each storm system will produce a complex array of precipitation types, including snow, sleet, freezing rain, and rain.  Only a few areas, such as the Southwest and lower Southeast, will remain dry (or nearly so) during the next 5 days.
