This afternoon, a front will come onshore over the Pacific Northwest and
move eastward to the Upper Great Lakes to the Southern High Plains by
Thursday.  The system will produce rain and higher elevation snow over the
Pacific Northwest, with mostly rain over Northern/Southern California. The
rain and snow expand into the Northern Rockies and Great Basin this
evening.  As the system moves out of the Rockies, the rain will develop
over parts of the Northern Plains by Wednesday morning. The rain will move
into parts of the Upper Midwest with some light snow over northern
Minnesota on Wednesday evening into Thursday.  Showers and thunderstorms
will develop over parts of the Middle Mississippi Valley into the Southern
Plains by Wednesday afternoon. The showers and thunderstorms will move
into the Lower Mississippi Valley by Thursday morning. 

Meanwhile, a front, farther inland, over the Great Lakes to the Southern
Plains will move eastward to off the Northeast Coast by Wednesday, with
the trailing front extending roughly southwestward to parts of the
Southern Plains. Ahead of the boundary, temperatures will warm up over the
eastern third of the country today. Furthermore, the front will produce
light rain over parts of the Northeast to the Ohio Valley overnight
tapering off over Northern New England by Wednesday morning.  Another
front will begin to come onshore over the Pacific Northwest overnight
Wednesday into Thursday morning, bringing more heavy rain to the Northwest.
