Thursday's forecast: Coast to coast cold

Weather more typical of January will be the main story for much of the country on Thursday, with frigid temperatures and snow outbreaks from coast to coast.

West: A winter storm will lash parts of the Northwest on Thursday. Snow will fall in the Oregon Cascades and central Rockies while a cold, wind-driven rain drenches the coast from southern Washington to northern California. The Southwest will again escape unscathed, with clear skies and warm temperatures forecast.

Central U.S.: Cold temperatures in the teens and 20s will cause folks in the north-central states to shiver. The central and southern Plains will also be cold, in the 30s and 40s. Lake-effect snow will paste the Great Lakes states.

East: Other than Florida, the warmth from the past few days will be a memory for most of the East Coast as temperatures take a tumble. Some light snow will add to the wintry feel in parts of New England.
