The most active weather in the East will take place along a front crossing New York and Massachusetts, bringing snow and rain. The Southeast was to stay dry and warm.
Strong thunderstorms will likely develop in the southern Appalachian region throughout the early morning, then begin to taper off as a cold front moves into the coastal plain.
Wet weather also will be found across the Northwest as a low pressure system slams into the Oregon coast. Heavy rain was to fall in the lower elevations west of the coastal mountains, but in the higher elevations, heavy snow was anticipated.
Significant snowfall was predicted to fall over the Cascade Mountains, and the coastal mountains will likely see a lesser amount of snow.
Wet weather also was to move into the northern half of California. Precipitation will slide as far south as Santa Barbara before dying out in the drier air of Southern California.
Temperatures in the Lower 48 states on Thursday ranged from a low of minus 5 degrees at Ely, Minn., to a high of 95 degrees at Laredo, Texas.
