Meanwhile, another upper trough will develop southward into parts of the northwestern states. At the surface, substantial cool and/or dry air will remain from the Four Corners states eastward to the Atlantic Coast, with offshore winds over the Gulf of Mexico. Elsewhere, while cooling aloft will occur overnight over the northwest USA, little to no instability is forecast due to cold surface conditions. ..Jewell.. 01/22/2025
