...Heavy snow for parts of the Northeast...



...Rain/Freezing rain from the Upper Great Lakes to parts of New

York State...



...Showers and severe thunderstorms for parts of the Ohio Valley

to northern Mid-Atlantic on Sunday...



A wave of low pressure over the Upper Great Lakes will move

eastward off the Northeast coast by overnight Sunday. The storm

will produce heavy snow over parts of the Northeast, with isolated

pockets of rain/freezing rain over parts of Upstate New York and

New England overnight Saturday, and snow over the region on Sunday

and Monday. Rain will develop from the Northern High Plains to the

Great Lakes overnight Saturday. As the front sags southward,

showers and severe thunderstorms will develop over the Ohio Valley

and the northern Mid-Atlantic on Sunday, with a higher threat of

hail. Rain will develop over parts of the Mid-Atlantic on Monday.



Meanwhile, upper-level energy will trigger rain showers over parts

of the Central/Northern Plains on Monday, moving into the Upper

Mississippi Valley by Monday evening. Elsewhere, a front moving

onshore over the Northwest will dissipate by Sunday morning. The

system will produce rain and higher elevation snow over parts of

the Northwest through Sunday afternoon. Weak onshore flow will aid

in producing light rain and higher-elevation snow over parts of

the Northwest on Monday afternoon.
