A front extending from the Northeast Coast to the Central Gulf Coast will
move eastward off most of the East Coast by Sunday morning. The system
will produce showers and thunderstorms over parts of the Western/Central
Gulf Coast on Saturday evening. Overnight Saturday, upper-level energy
will aid in creating light snow from the northern Mid-Atlantic to parts of
New England and light rain over parts of the southern Mid-Atlantic through
late Sunday night/early Monday morning.

In the front's wake, temperatures will be 15 to 20 degrees below average
over the Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic/Northeast, the Tennessee Valley, and
Western/Central Gulf Coast for Sunday. In contrast, ahead of the front,
the temperatures will be 10 to 15 degrees above average for parts of the
Mid-Atlantic/Southeast on Sunday morning. In addition, lake effect snow
will develop downwind from the Great Lakes through Sunday evening.
Additionally, over Southern California, temperatures will be in the low
90s for Sunday, which has prompted Heat Advisories.

Meanwhile, a wave of low pressure moving southeastward across the
Northern/Central Plains will move to South Carolina by Sunday evening. The
system will produce light snow over parts of the Upper Midwest on Saturday
evening, moving into the Middle Mississippi Valley by Sunday morning. The
associated upper-level energy will produce light snow over parts of the
Great Lakes and Ohio Valley for Sunday evening. Snow showers will move
into the Northern/Central Appalachians by Monday morning. 
Furthermore, on Sunday evening, another wave of low pressure will move
over parts of the Upper Midwest, moving southeastward to the Middle
Mississippi Valley by Monday morning before moving northeastward to
Eastern Ontario, Canada, by Monday evening. The fast-moving system will
produce light snow over parts of the Upper Midwest on Sunday afternoon and
into parts of the Upper Great Lakes and Western Ohio Valley by Monday
evening.

Moreover, a front will move onshore over parts of the Pacific Northwest on
early Monday morning, moving to the Northern Rockies/Great Basin by Monday
evening. The storm will produce coastal rain and higher elevation snow
over the Pacific Northwest, with snow expanding into the Northern Rockies
by Monday evening.
