Overview
- Highs in the 60s to low 80s are common from California to the Plains and Gulf Coast, with Kansas City and Omaha poised to challenge record highs on Monday near 70 degrees.
- Northern California stays mild and mostly dry through Super Bowl Sunday before a cooler, unsettled pattern brings light rain and mountain snow chances early to midweek.
- San Diego faces a High Surf Advisory through 6 a.m. Sunday with 5–8 foot waves and sets to 10 feet, followed by a warm weekend under weak Santa Ana winds and a chance of light showers Tuesday into midweek.
- New Orleans remains pleasant with a brief Saturday cooldown, then a dry warming trend returns next week with highs in the low to mid-70s under mostly partly to mostly cloudy skies.
- Contrasts persist in the East and Midwest, with Virginia under a Wind Advisory and flurries as wind chills dip near or below zero, Louisville staying below normal with spotty flurries, and Metro Detroit stuck in the teens before a gradual early-week moderation.
