Winter storm warning weather forecast: Snow, rain, flood alert in parts of USA. Details here

As the coldest batch of arctic air so far this season advances from the northern part of the Plains to the Great Lakes and the Ohio Valley, lake-effect snow is forecast to increase near the Great Lakes, as a swath of accumulating snow extends from South Dakota and Iowa to West Virginia and western Pennsylvania. The snow is expected to end quickly in the Central states at night but is forecast to hit Interstate 95 Northeast beginning Saturday evening and into the first part of Sunday. Frigid air will stretch to the East and central Gulf Coast areas most of Sunday.

Farther south, most of the area from the Carolinas, Georgia and Florida to California and Oregon will be free of rain. Exceptions to a mostly sunny sky will be a batch of clouds, drizzle and spotty rain from the western part of the Florida Panhandle to the Texas coast. Low clouds and fog are forecast to remain in part of California's large Central Valley.

In Washington, river flooding is forecast to ease in the low-lying areas along the major rivers. Showers in the western part of the state will not contribute to flooding. Storms with heavy rain are expected to return next week and bring flooding in Washington, expanding south into Oregon.
