Two low pressure systems were moving across the country on Thursday. The Northwest was expecting wet conditions to start off the New Year as a strong system moved in from over the Pacific. Heavy rain were to fall over the coastal regions, while anywhere from 10 to 20 inches of snow was possible for the Northern Rockies. Areas of eastern Oregon and Washington that are not up in the Rockies were to see an inch or two of snow. In addition, strong winds were to blow across the Northwest.

The Northern Plains and the Upper Great Lakes were also to start the New Year with snow due to a second low pressure system. Only moderate snow showers were expected, and most of those regions were only see up to a couple of inches. Strong winds were also expected during the day. Skies were to begin to clear out across the Northern Plains as the storm pushed off to the east. The Central and Southern Plains were to see partly to mostly clear skies and mild temperatures on Thursday.
