The West will finally see a storm this weekend following an extended dry spell. The storm will favor the interior of Canada for the highest totals, while the Washington Cascades and BC Coast Range will start as rain before changing to snow. Lighter snow will fall in the U.S. Rockies. New England will see more snow this weekend with a combination of rain, snow, and mixed precipitation next week.

Light snow has fallen across most of the Mid-Atlantic with lake effect snow adding additional snow around the Great Lakes. Lake effect snow will weaken and intensify on Friday and Saturday with a weak storm tracking through the northern Mid-Atlantic Sunday. The northern Mid-Atlantic will be in a snow bubble with mostly sunny conditions to the south. Warm air and rain move in early next week.
