Jonathan, what was special about this weekends weather. James, usually we dont even talk about snow in the far deep south of the united states, but not only did we see snow down into portions of south carolina, it is the earliest reported snow ever in the mountains of south carolina. I wanted to show you some pictures. These are some of the viewers sending these in. It wasnt just a little dusting. Were looking up to eight centimeters of snow fall in some places, enough to make various creatures out of them. And so definitely a big event for this area. And we are expecting the cold conditions that helped enhance the snowfall this weekend to be in place at least going throughout monday. High pressure now moving in. Driving in the northerly winds, and that is actually creating cold chill all the way as far as the northern tip of florida, where freeze warnings were in place for monday morning. Now, were going to see the temperatures slowly moderate going through the next couple of days, as a southerly flow comes in when the High Pressure moves east. Meanwhile back toward the west we have a low in southern canada. Thats where it will drive even colder air into the rocky mountains. So well only see some rain in portions of the midwest, but also possibly some snow into places like denver. And so well be keeping an eye out on this system as it pushes toward the east. Eventually it will bring some rainfall for the deep south going later this week. Were also keeping an eye out on some more moisture moving into the pacific northwest. You have been stuck under this wet pattern for awhile. Youll be still seeing some more wet weather as we go through the next few days. A quick look in mexico, because we have a hurricane named vance, a category 2 storm expected to become a category 3 storm which is a major hurricane coming onshore but weakening rapidly as it does. And so we are expecting it to be a little bit of a wet rainmaker for the western coast of mexico going through the middle to latter part of this week. So heres a look at the forecast again. A little bit cool, dry, d. C. Down to atlanta, highs in the teens. Snow possibly for denver. Rain into oklahoma city. High of 18 degrees coming up on monday. Heres a look at the forecast for europe.

Both of these are going to be wet weathermakers. Rain expected as we go throughout monday. You can see here from stockholm all the way into london as far south as the Iberian Peninsula where usually you see sunny conditions. Youll see rain coming up on monday.
