This Weekend
Much of the country will be dry, but the West Coast and the Northeast could have some rainy, snowy and windy trouble spots.
Rain showers are possible from California to the Pacific Northwest, with rain and mountain snow extending eastward into the Rockies.
In the Northeast, a lingering low-pressure system will produce scattered areas of rain and high-elevation snowflakes, mainly across interior areas and New England on Saturday. That low will also instigate gusty winds in the region, which might result in some airport delays.
Possible airport hub delays: San Francisco (rain, low clouds); Northeast megalopolis airports, especially Saturday (gusty winds)
