Rain is expected in parts of the Northeast, Midwest, Southeast, South Central states, and Northwest. Snowflakes may fall in the Upper Midwest, where mild weather with rain and snow showers is anticipated, and in Alaska, where cold and snowy periods are forecast for most areas except the panhandle, which will experience milder, rainy conditions.
