The first accumulating snowfall arrives for much the southern Mid-Atlantic on Friday.
As a rainmaker in the Deep South and Southeast moves northeastward, snow will overspread portions of Kentucky, Virginia, eastern West Virginia, and northern North Carolina. Snowfall accumulations will be in the 1-to-3-inch range with some locally higher amounts possible. Snow will begin in the morning and continue throughout the day for much of Virginia. Some light snow cannot be ruled out in Maryland, Delaware, southern Pennsylvania, and southern New Jersey as well. Light freezing rain and sleet impacts can be expected for parts of southern Virginia and central to northern North Carolina.
To the south, rain will be the main threat for the Deep South and Southeast. A stripe of rainfall greater than one-half inch is likely for southern North Carolina, South Carolina, central to southern portions of Georgia and Alabama. While northern Florida will see rainfall, all of the central and southern portions of the state will be dry.
An active pattern of rain and snowfall continues for the Pacific Northwest and northern Rockies. Washington and Oregon will see mostly heavy rainfall for the western parts of the states, with the high terrain seeing a heavy rain/snow mix. Further east, Idaho will see a greater disparity in rain/snow with high elevations possibly seeing heavy snowfall accumulation. Western Montana and Wyoming on the other hand will see snow showers with periods of heavy snow likely. Late into the night, rainfall will occur northern Nevada with northern Utah seeing rain/snow depending on terrain.
Western Colorado will see snow showers most of the day with light to moderate accumulations possible. The rest of the Southwest U.S. will be dry as the system in the Pacific Northwest will be too far to the north. It will be dry for the central to southern Great Basin, Four Corners, Desert Southwest, and central to southern West Coast.
It will be mostly dry across the Plains, Midwest, and Mid-South with high pressure in place. However, a few snow showers are possible in the northern Plains and Upper Midwest that may cause some light travel disruptions.
The Northeast will be dry as well as the Mid-Atlantic system will be too far to the south for any snow.
Highs in the single digits and teens are possible for the interior Northeast with coastal regions seeing 20s. The high terrain of the Rockies will be in for 20s and 30s as well as the Midwest, northern Plains, Ohio Valley, and Mid-Atlantic. The Four Corners, Great Basin, Pacific Northwest, central Plains, and Tennessee Valley will feel 30s and 40s. Forties and 50s are expected for the Southeast, Mid-South, and central West Coast.
Fifties and 60s will be seen along the southern West Cost, in the Desert Southwest, Southern Plains, and Deep South. The warmest air the country will be found in Florida with 60s, 70s and even a few 80s likely.
