Meanwhile in the North, a deepening trough of low pressure over the western Atlantic will continue to bring light to moderate snow showers and gusty winds to northern New England. Flow from this system will produce additional light snow showers across portions of the Lower Great Lakes and the Central Appalachians.

Out West, pleasant weather will continue to develop throughout much of the western third of the nation due to a dominant ridge of high pressure.
