US Weather: Rockies Snow, California Break, Northeast Rain/Snow
Snow is forecast to continue across the Rockies on Friday, while California and the broader West Coast are expected to have a brief break from recent rain and snow. Avalanche warnings are in effect for parts of the Sierra Nevada near Truckee and within the Rockies, with authorities advising against backcountry travel. The West Coast is preparing for another round of rain and snow beginning this weekend and lasting into next week, with heavy rain potentially causing flood concerns for Northern and Central California and the Oregon coastline on Monday and Tuesday. Concurrently, in Rochester, New York, Friday is anticipated to be a wet and breezy day with rain throughout the morning and temperatures rising into the 40s. A subsequent cold front will cause temperatures to drop into the 30s, leading to rain showers transitioning into snow showers by Friday evening, which are expected to persist through the weekend. Saturday's temperatures will peak in the low 30s amid continuous snow showers. Although a potential nor'easter is not projected to directly impact the Rochester area, it will contribute to localized snow shower formation. The Rochester and Finger Lakes region is forecast to accumulate 1-3 inches of snow by the end of the weekend. Monday will see colder temperatures and morning snow, followed by a gradual increase to average and above-average temperatures during the latter half of the workweek.
