After Dumping Snow in the West, The Next Eastern Storm Will Likely Be More Wet Than Wintry

A new storm system now sweeping into the Pacific Northwest will emerge over the central and eastern United States, where it will likely produce more rain than snow or ice late this week into the weekend.

Rain and mountain snow, heavy at times, are expected in the Northwest Tuesday, with snow then spreading into the Rockies by Wednesday. Several feet of snow are expected in the Washington Cascades, and over a foot of snow may blanket parts of the northern Rockies.

The system will emerge over the Plains and Midwest Thursday before slowly moving toward the East Coast Friday into the weekend.

With limited cold air east of the Rockies the next several days, any snow or ice from this next storm should be very limited and confined to the nation's northern tier, unlike Winter Storm Diego, which produced heavy snow and ice in the South.
