The Northwest continues to be active as more heavy rain and mountain snow move into the region.

A system strengthening over the Southern Plains will bring a mix of rain, snow and ice over the central U.S.  with some areas across Kansas into Oklahoma and north Texas will get a swath of snow where winter weather advisories are posted.

Colder temperatures will linger behind this system with daytime highs 10-20 degrees below average. Lake effect snow will also continue today downwind of Erie and Ontario.
