[December 05, 2007]  (AP) A winter storm system rumbled from the Upper Mississippi Valley through the Ohio Valley, southern Great Lakes and Mid-Atlantic early Wednesday, while more rain was in store for the flooded Pacific Northwest.

With cold air already in place in the East, expect snow to fall to the northern side of the storm system, while rain was forecast for the far southern Ohio Valley and the southern Mid-Atlantic.

Snow may become heavy at times over portions of the Ohio Valley and western Appalachians, with total accumulations of 2 to 5 inches.

In the West, a stationary front extending from southwestern Canada across the northern High Plains was to trigger light snow and lower-elevation rain over northern Washington, the northern Rockies and the northern Plains.

In addition, light rain was forecast over western Oregon. Expect temperatures to drop several degrees across the Northwest as high pressure noses down from the British Columbia.

A low pressure system was racing eastward through the Four Corners and threatening the Plains. Snow and lower-elevation rain was to develop over Utah and Colorado. An ice storm loomed for the Plains on Thursday.

Elsewhere, a weak trough will move through southeastern Canada, triggering light snow showers to far northern New England.

Temperatures in the Lower 48 states on Tuesday ranged from a low of minus 5 degrees at Mount Washington, N.H., to a high of 84 degrees at San Fernando, Calif.
