Light to moderate snow is possible Friday from the Southern Rockies to the Southern Plains. Scattered rain and snow showers are possible across the Western US; light to moderate snow is possible in the higher elevations.

Central Plains and Midwest: As low pressure continues to track out of the Four Corners and into the Southern Plains, snow will develop across the Central Plains and eastward into the Midwest region during the afternoon and into the overnight hours on Saturday and into Sunday. A wintry mix of freezing rain, sleet and snow will be possible. Snow accumulations of 2-6 inches could occur. Temperatures across the Mississippi Valley and Midwest will likely be close to freezing or slightly below keeping chances for ice accumulations of up to a tenth of an inch possible through Sunday.

Four Corners and Southern Plains: A series of low pressure troughs will allow for additional rain and snow showers across the region. Locally heavy snow accumulations of 4-8 inches will be possible. Elevated surface winds will cause blowing snow and lowered visibility on roadways. Expect delays in travel. Further south, as precipitation develops temperature profiles across Texas and Oklahoma will likely favor a wintry mix of ice before conditions cool and a change over to snow occurs. Accumulations are not anticipated to be significant, with most areas receiving less than a quarter of an inch. However, travel on roadways and overpasses could be affected.

Southwestern US: Low pressure will develop and slowly translate eastward across the Desert Southwest. Showers and thunderstorms are not anticipated to become severe at this time, however some storms could produce locally heavy rainfall and strong wind gusts. Accumulations of up to 2 inches are possible.
