An area of heavy snow associated with this system will impact the central Rockies, while lighter, scattered snow will move across the central Plains and the upper Midwest. Rain will also be possible from the southern Plains to the Ohio Valley as this cold front propagates eastward.
Out west, showers are expected to push across Washington and northwestern Oregon, while high elevation snow showers are forecast for the Cascades and northern Rockies. The Southwest will stay mostly clear on Friday due to high pressure along the coast of California. .
