A front moving onshore over the Pacific Northwest moves eastward to the
Midwest by Sunday evening while weakening. The system will produce coastal
rain and higher-elevation snow over parts of the Northwest through Sunday
afternoon. On Saturday, the snow will be heavy over parts of the Northern
Cascades. Moreover, snow will develop in lighter amounts over parts of the
Northern Rockies.

In addition, the storm will create strong wind over parts of the Northern
Cascades into the Northern Rockies, prompting High Wind Warnings and Wind
Advisories on Saturday into Sunday morning. Furthermore, onshore flow will
keep rain over parts of the Pacific Northwest Sunday night into Monday.

Upper-level energy over the Upper Great Lakes will produce light snow over
the western portion of Michigan s Upper Peninsula on Saturday, tapering
off by Saturday evening. As the system from the Northwest moves eastward
into the Upper Midwest on Sunday, the associated warm front will change
any lingering snow over the Upper Peninsula into rain. The rain will end
by Sunday evening.

Meanwhile, a front lingers along the Gulf Coast on Saturday into Sunday
will have moisture from the Gulf of Mexico overrunning the boundary,
creating rain from the southern Mid-Atlantic southwestward to the Central
Gulf Coast through late Sunday. On Saturday, the moisture from the Western
Gulf Coast will stream into the Southern Plains, creating rain that
extends over parts of the Southern Plains and expands into parts of the
Lower Mississippi Valley by Monday morning.
