Early Spring heavy snows expected from the Upper Mississippi Valley
into the Great Lakes, northern NY State into Northern New England.

Widespread wet weather expected from East Texas, across the South, much
of Florida and the Eastern Seaboard.

The beginning of a wet pattern for the Pacific Northwest, south into
northern to central California.

Winter weather will continue to dominate the northern tier of the nation
during this first week of spring 2024.  In the wake of heavy snows that
have fallen across portions of northern New England over the past 24
hours, additional heavy snow is expected to spread eastward Thursday night
into Friday from the Northern Plains, across the Upper Mississippi Valley
and into the Lower Great Lakes.  This heavy snow will then push eastward
into Northern NY State and Northern New England on Saturday.  Across these
areas, snowfall accumulations of 8 to 12 inches are possible.  During the
day on Saturday, yet another round of wintry weather with accumulating
snows will begin to develop across the Northern High Plains and spread
eastward through the remainder of the Northern Plains Sunday and into the
early part of next week.  In addition to the potential series of snow
events across the northern tier, temperatures will remain well below
average for the end of the work week and into the weekend.

At the same time that snows spread eastward across the northern tier of
the nation, a widespread rain event will continue to expand from the
western Gulf coast Thursday afternoon, eastward across large portions of
the South and Florida Thursday night into Friday.  This widespread heavy
rain will then push northward along much of the Eastern Seaboard Friday
into Saturday.  Some of the heaviest rainfall totals are expected across
South Florida Friday afternoon into early Saturday, with the potential for
urbanized flash flooding, especially along the southeast coastal areas of
the state.  Localized flash flooding also possible along the Mid-Atlantic
coast, including the urban corridor from DC to Boston where rainfall
totals of 2 to 3 inches are possible.

An active wet weather pattern will also to begin along large portions of
the West coast from the Pacific Northwest, south into northern to central
California.   Precipitation will begin to push inland on Friday across
these areas, with rounds of additional precipitation expected into the
weekend, with heavy snows in the 1 to 3 foot range expected through the
Sierra.  While there may be a break to the wet west coast pattern early
next week, the overall wet winter pattern that has affected the west coast
will continue later next week as additional storm systems push inland.
