Backing Upper Level Low

This is a very unusual track for a cutoff upper level low - due to an elongated ridge over the northern tier of the United States, this low will move along the southern periphery from the East Coast to the Pacific Basin. The Southeast (especially North and South Carolina) will be extremely warm next week due to this ridge. The largest positive temperature anomalies will be across the Ohio River Valley and the Northeast.  Florida may have a small upper level system bringing rainfall to the state next week. The "wrong way low" will bring much needed rainfall to western Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona.
