The Nation's Weather

NATIONAL SUMMARY

Milder air will push northward over the eastern third of the

nation today. Spotty rain showers are in store for the

Southeast as snow showers dot the Northeast. A complex storm

and front will produce a swath of snow, ice and rain from

the Great Lakes southwestward to the Rio Grande River.

Mainly rain will fall for the middle portion of the

Mississippi Valley as thunderstorms are likely to erupt and

grow heavy and gusty in parts of eastern Texas, western

Louisiana, southern Arkansas and southeastern Oklahoma. Snow

that breaks out over southwestern Texas can equal the

seasonal average all in one shot, while snow is forecast to

diminish around the upper Great Lakes later. Much of the

rest of the Plains and West will be dry, although a new

storm will send rain and snow into Washington and Oregon.
