A series of winter storms is set to impact various parts of the United States, bringing significant weather conditions including heavy snowfall, rain, and potential flooding. The Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions are bracing for snow accumulations ranging from 2 to 4 inches, with localized areas expecting up to 10 inches, particularly in parts of West Virginia and Maryland. New York City is anticipated to receive 2 to 4 inches of snow from Friday into Saturday morning, with parts of New Jersey recording 8-12 inches and Central New Jersey and part of New York City reaching up to 1 foot and 10 inches overnight, respectively. The West Coast, particularly California, is preparing for a different challenge as two atmospheric rivers are forecasted to hit the state from late Friday through Wednesday. These systems are expected to deliver heavy rainfall, with 2 to 5 inches in the lowlands and up to 7 inches in the mountains, and strong winds, causing possible flooding. The Sierra Nevada is expected to receive 3 to 5 feet of snow, prompting a winter weather advisory for the greater Lake Tahoe region. Residents and travelers in affected areas are advised to stay weather aware and follow updates from trusted sources.
