National Forecast
As snow tapers off in northern New England and upstate New York today, snow showers will extend to the southwest and into the Ohio Valley as colder air settles in. Most of the snow showers will be light but a few spots can be hit with a quick coating to an inch. The Southeast can expect dry and cool conditions as sunshine returns.
Showers will exit South Florida and the Keys early on. Much of the Plains will be dry. However, an Alberta clipper storm will spread light snow from Montana to the Dokotas. A stronger clipper storm with heavier snow will travel farther south over the Central states this weekend.
Most areas west of the Rockies will be dry as Santa Ana winds kick up in Southern California. Idaho is likely to share in the next clipper storm’s snow on Friday.
