In the East, a strong cold front trailing from an area of low pressure centered over southeastern Canada will trigger scattered showers and thunderstorms across the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys, Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Carolinas Saturday.
Some storms will be strong to possibly severe later Saturday and into the evening, especially across the mid-Atlantic states. The stronger storms will produce hail, gusty winds, frequent lightning and heavy downpours.
Meanwhile, some snow showers will be possible over the Great Lakes region. Accumulations will be minimal. As the cold front passes, temperatures will drop throughout the day across the majority of the East, while locations ahead of the front, such as the eastern Seaboard will be mild Saturday.
Farther south, the Deep South, Southeast and Florida can expect dry conditions with partly to mostly cloudy skies. High temperatures will be in the 40s across the Great Lakes Region and Ohio Valley. The Northeast and mid-Atlantic will be in the 50s and 60s until the cold front moves through the region. The Southeast, Deep South, and Florida will top off in the 60s and 70s.
In the central United States, minor additional snow accumulations can be expected over the Upper Peninsula of Michigan Saturday morning. Accumulations of one to three inches can be expected before this activity ends around noon.
Scattered rain showers will linger over Wisconsin, Minnesota, eastern regions of the Dakotas, Iowa and Illinois through the morning. However, this activity will taper off by early afternoon as the system moves to the east.
Elsewhere, high pressure will build behind this system, and skies will become clear over the northern Plains, while the central and southern Plains will see partly cloudy to clear conditions all day.
High temperatures will be in the 30s and 40s across the Northern Plains, 50s in the central Plains, and 50s and 60s in the southern Plains.
In the West, a ridge of high pressure will bring calm conditions and clear skies to the majority of the region. This intense high pressure will produce strong offshore winds over southern California, resulting in unseasonably warm temperatures.
The only active weather across the West will be found in the form of snow showers in northern Utah, Colorado and northern New Mexico due to some upper-level energy. However, southern Utah and southern New Mexico can expect a mixture of rain and snow. No accumulations are expected.
A few scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms will also be possible over northern Washington, but the remainder of the Pacific Northwest, California, Rockies, Great Basin, and Desert Southwest will be mostly sunny with dry conditions.
High temperatures will be in the 50s over the Pacific Northwest, Great Basin, and northern Rockies, while northern Arizona and northern New Mexico can expect 50s and 60s. The coastal regions of California, along with southwest Arizona will be the highest with temperatures in the upper 70s.
Some storms will be strong to possibly severe later Saturday and into the evening, especially across the mid-Atlantic states. The stronger storms will produce hail, gusty winds, frequent lightning and heavy downpours.

Extend those advisories up through the west side of my CWA with a 2-4 inches likely above 2000...and 1-2 in the 1-2k ft range.
Look at water vapor and model trends, these cold get bumped up a notch.
Also, BGM NY had WSWatches out...8-10 inches in the highest elevations from SYR to ABE eastward.
