inches of rain was reported at Mt. Pocono, Pennsylvania. Behind this

early morning hours. Severe storm development has not been reported
across the Midwest or Northeast on Friday, but the system has a history

Meanwhile out West, a low pressure system over British Columbia created a
cold front that moved through the Pacific Northwest. This system pulled
in moisture from the Pacific Ocean and allowed for scattered rain
showers to develop, which turned to snow at high elevations of the
Cascades. Precipitation from this system advanced eastward into the
Intermountain West as the system moved eastward throughout the day.
