Rain and high-elevation snow was spreading through the Rockies and into the Intermountain West. Up to a foot of new snow was expected to fall in parts of the Rockies.
A very strong Pacific storm system was due to slam into the Northwest Coast, producing substantial snow through Washington and Oregon before hitting Northern California.
Another storm system was forecast to trigger snow in the Ohio Valley and Great Lakes, and rain in the Mississippi Valley and Southeast.
Snow showers were predicted for the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and northern Wisconsin. Moderate snow was on tap in western Nebraska, western Kansas and the Oklahoma Panhandle.
A low pressure system off in the Atlantic was making the New England coast rainy. Much of the rest of the East was to be mild and cloudy.
Temperatures in the Northeast will rise into the 30s and 40s, while the Southeast will see 60s and 70s. The northern Plains and Rockies will rise into the 10s and 20s. The Northwest will rise into the 20s, 30s and 40s.
Temperatures in the Lower 48 states on Wednesday ranged from a low of minus 18 degrees at Alamosa, Colo., to a high of 81 degrees at Miami, Fla.
