The h Hardware eaviest precipitation will likely occur downwind from the Great Lakes or in the higher peaks of the interior mountains, which will get mostly snow. Farther south, and along the coast, precipitation will be mainly rain.

The Southeast will also see some precipitation Wednesday morning as a cold front pushes off the coast. Heavy rainfall is possible across the Florida Panhandle in the early morning hours, but conditions should clear up substantially around noon.

The Plains will experience cool but clear weather as high pressure sits atop the region for most of the day. Temperatures in the northern Plains will remain below zero degrees for many locations as far south as Iowa. Farther south, temperatures will rapidly rise, with highs along the Gulf Coast pushing well into the 50s.

The Rockies will see some snowfall as an old Pacific storm system pushes inland throughout the region. But snowfall amounts will generally be fairly low. Topographic differences could cause some locations to see significant accumulations.

In the West, high pressure will continue strengthening and temperatures will remain unseasonably warm under sunny skies.
