Low pressure moving northeastward through the Plains was expected to bring rain from the lower Mississippi Valley to the Mid-Atlantic. Wraparound moisture from the system's center was likely to dump significant snow on the Great Lakes and several inches on the central Plains.
Considerable rain and high elevation snow was forecast from Washington through central California as a Pacific storm system moves along the West Coast. Several inches of snow was forecast for the Cascades and Sierra Nevadas, while showers were possible in Southern California. Snow was also anticipated in the Great Basin and Intermountain West.
The Northeast was forecast to rise into the 30s and 40s, while the Southeast was to see temperatures in the 60s, 70s and 80s. The northern Plains and Rockies were expected to see temperatures only in the 10s and 20s, while the Northwest was to rise into the 20s and 30s in the mountains and into the 40s near the coast.
Temperatures in the Lower 48 states on Thursday ranged from a low of minus 23 degrees at Alamosa, Colo., to a high of 85 degrees at Marathon, Fla.
