A significant change in the weather pattern is anticipated for much of the United States during the middle of April.
The pattern change could bring some
rain and cooler conditions to California and the Southwest, snow for the high country of the Sierra Nevada and Rockies and colder weather for Alaska, according to AccuWeather long-range meteorologists.
According to AccuWeather Meteorologist Ben Noll, "There is increasing confidence in the arrival of a Pacific storm late next week, which can bring meaningful rains especially to central and northern California with some rain reaching as far south as Southern California."
The rainfall may extend beyond one storm. From mid-April into May, multiple storms loaded with moisture have the potential to track from the Southwest to the Deep South.

The pattern change could erase the persistent chill in the Northeast. The number of days with near- to above-average warmth could outnumber the chillier-than-average days in much of the mid-Atlantic, central Appalachians and the Ohio Valley.
