Big Story Weather from February 28: The Northeast saw snow showers and very strong winds around the Maine area, while the majority of the country saw partly cloudy skies and colder conditions, and the Northwest saw some showers yesterday.

 

 

Weather Outlook for March 1: An upper level trough will move through the Tennessee River Valley bringing with it some light snow and light mix precipitation to the area. High pressure over the Rockies will set the stage for a nice day over the Plains and Gulf Coast, but it will be cooler than normal for these regions. A few showers will linger in the extreme Northwest US. Below is the weather for a few select cities.
