National Forecast Overview

The low that brought all of the snow to the south and  east coast has moved off of the coast and high pressure has set in over the south east bringing with it clear skies and milder daytime and colder nighttime temperatures. A warm frontal boundary is moving over eastern NE with a cold front trailing behind to the west and north. Associated with the western cold front is a series of low pressure systems over MT and southern British Columbia and another low associated with the northern front located over northern MN. Cold temperatures are located behind the frontal system as a high moves in over ND. A trough is located over eastern CO and NM with a high pressure over CO and UT, influencing NM and AZ.

Rain will continue over western WA and OR with snow showers in western MT. There is a chance for snow in the CO Mountains as well as parts of northern UT, western WY, and ID.
