The system w ill kick up light snow showers in the central and southern Rockies. Snow accumulation is expected to fairly light, with only an inch or two at best over the San Juans and southern Sangres. Meanwhile, another disturbance moving out of northeastern Mexico will move into Texas. This energy will interact with moisture from the Gulf of Mexico
and will produce light rain showers in the southern Plains.
Elsewhere in the West, a warm front will move through western Washington, bringing light showers to the Pacific Northwest through the morning. Offshore flow and ridging could give clearing and warmer temperature to the region by the afternoon.
In the East, a cold front from southern Canada will drop into the Great Lakes and
central Plains during the day. This system will kick up snow showers in parts of the
upper Great Lakes, primarily in northern Michigan. Elsewhere, high pressure builds over the
eastern valleys with generally calm and dry weather conditions.
Temperatures in the Lower 48 states Wednesday ranged from a morning low of
minus 20 degrees at Presque Isle, Maine, to a high of 81 degrees at Fort Myers, Fla.
