Snow Across the Great Lakes, Central Appalachians, and Northeast; Unsettled Weather in the West

Light to moderate snow will continue into Saturday over the Great Lakes, Central Appalachians, and Northeast. This weekend into next week, a series of atmospheric rivers will bring gusty winds, periods of heavy rain, and mountain snow to northern California and the Pacific Northwest. Colder temperatures are in store for the weekend from the Great Lakes to East Coast. Read More >

Western Region Technical Memoranda

These Technical Memoranda contain many figures, which may take time to load. For convenience, separate links have been created for the figures rather than embedding them in the body of the document.

 

 

The National Weather Service (NWS) Western Region (WR) Subseries provides an informal medium for the documentation and quick dissemination of results not appropriate, or not yet ready, for formal publication. The series is used to report on work in progress, to describe technical procedures and practices, or to relate progress to a limited audience. These Technical Memoranda will report on investigations devoted primarily to regional and local problems of interest.

Below is a complete list of all published Technical Memoranda for Western Region. All available Technical Memoranda have been scanned into pdf format and linked for ease of use. For those not linked, there are no hard or soft copies available in the archive.
