Wet weather will move into the East and another storm brings active conditions to the Northwest on Friday. A strong low pressure system continues moving eastward from the Upper Midwest and over the Great Lakes on Friday. This will push scattered rain and snow showers eastward from Minnesota and through Michigan, reaching into eastern Canada by evening. The system will also continue pushing a cold front eastward, which will start the day extending from Michigan, across the Mid-Mississippi River Valley, and into the Southern Plains. By Friday night, this cold front will stretch from the Northeast, across the northern and central Appalachians, and into the Gulf of Mexico. Expect scattered rain showers to develop along this front, which will turn to snow showers in the Northeast and higher elevations of the Appalachians as the front passes. The southern side of this front will pull moisture in from the Gulf of Mexico and allow for showers and thunderstorms to develop from eastern Texas through the Tennessee Valley.

Meanwhile out West, a low pressure system spinning in the Gulf of Alaska will push another trough of low pressure into the Pacific Northwest. Expect this system to produce more rain and mountain snow showers for Washington and Oregon throughout the day, reaching into far western Montana late Friday night. Rainfall totals will be heaviest across western Oregon and western Washington, ranging from 1 to 2 inches.
