The Nation's Weather

A few lingering snow showers were poised to hit the mid-Atlantic coast and Great Lakes early Wednesday, while much of the West was sunny and mild.

A low pressure system will extend down the East Coast and into the Southeast, but is not expected to trigger any showers. Expect cold and dry conditions to continue.

New England will continue to see light snow, with well below an inch of total accumulation. Virginia and North Carolina also were to see show.

High pressure over the Plains will allow for winds out of the northwest over the Great Lakes, which will continue to kick up light lake-effect snow over the region. Expect total accumulation between 1 to 3 inches over northern Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York.
