A dip in the jet stream will bring more seasonable air, which, combined with weak storm systems, could trigger snow, a snow/rain mix, or an icy mix. As one weak storm system moves east, snow showers will move from the Great Lakes to the central Appalachians and much of New England Friday.

Another storm system will bring the chance of snow or a wintry mix from parts of Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio early this weekend, then east into parts of the mid-Atlantic and New England later this weekend into early next week.
