Weather experts said that a storm is seen to bring cold air and snow over the northeastern portion of the United States.

They said that following a wintry weekend with cold air and some snow, temperatures are seen to trend upward into the middle of next week across the Northeast. However, a new storm is seen to affect the area.

Meteorologists said that they would monitor the progress of the winter storm that could bring snow as well as a wintry mix.

Lake-Effect Snow From Great Lakes

The National Weather Service (NWS) said that an upper-level energy moving over the Great Lakes into the Northeast would produce lake-effect snow downwind from the Great Lakes, with the heaviest amounts over the eastern upper portion of Michigan and northwestern lower portion of Michigan.

On the other hand, other areas of heavier snow will be downwind from Lakes Erie and Ontario while the snow will continue through Sunday.

The snow will also result in reduced visibility and hazardous driving conditions.

Additionally, upper-level energy over the Northern Rockies will aid in creating snow over parts of the Great Basin and the Central Rockies through early Saturday morning.

Meanwhile, on Saturday morning, snow will develop over parts of the Central and Southern High Plains, which is forecasted to end by Saturday evening. The snow will result in reduced visibility and hazardous driving conditions.

On the other hand, a front off-shore from the West Coast will move onshore and dissipate by Saturday evening.

The upper-level energy associated with the dying front moves over the Pacific Northwest, which will produce rain and higher-elevation snow from early Saturday morning through Sunday.

Snow will also develop overnight Saturday into Sunday over parts of the Northern Intermountain Region.

In addition to this weather condition, it was also predicted on Saturday that rain and higher-elevation snow will develop over parts of Northern and Central California.

Heavy Rains In California

Further, a plume of moisture will stream into California on Saturday, producing areas of heavy rain.

Due to this weather condition, the Weather Prediction Center has issued a slight risk of excessive rainfall over parts of Northern California from Saturday into Sunday morning.

The associated heavy rain will create mainly localized areas of flash floods, with urban areas, roads, small streams, and burn scars the most vulnerable.

On Sunday, the plume of moisture will move over Southern California, producing heavy rain from Northern California to Southern California.

With that, the Weather Prediction Center has issued a slight risk of excessive rainfall over parts of Northern California to Southern California on Sunday.

The associated heavy rain will create mainly localized areas of flash flooding, with urban areas, roads, small streams, and burn scars the most vulnerable.

A wave of low pressure over the Ohio Valley is expected to move northeastward off the Mid-Atlantic Coast by Saturday morning.

The system will create snow over the Middle Mississippi Valley/Ohio Valley and heavy snow over parts of the Central Appalachians and northern Mid-Atlantic from Friday evening into Saturday morning. The snow will result in reduced visibility and hazardous driving conditions.

The snow will also linger over parts of the Central Appalachians/northern Mid-Atlantic through Saturday evening.
