The Nation's Weather for Friday, January 17, 2020

_____

NATIONAL SUMMARY

As chilly air hovers in the Southeast, cold conditions are

in store for the Northeast today. High pressure is forecast

to build from the Great Lakes to the Atlantic coast. A large

storm will gather moisture over the Central states. Rain and

thunderstorms will affect the southern Plains to part of the

lower Mississippi Valley, while snow breaks out over the

central and northern Plains. A swath of ice is expected in

between. Enough ice may build up to cause power outages in

some locations. Areas of snow will riddle the central and

northern Rockies. In the wake of rain and snow from last

night, dry weather and sunshine will return to much of

California and the Southwest. Spotty coastal rain showers

and mountain snow showers will linger over the Northwest.
