Total snowfall of roughly 4ft (1.2 meters) was forecast, with the heaviest accumulations expected on Monday and Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">The midwest and Great Lakes regions will see rain and snow on Monday and the east coast will be the most affected on Thanksgiving and Black Friday, forecasters said.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"a874e00e-da58-42b3-8815-1ef94cf326f7\" data-spacefinder-role=\"inline\" data-spacefinder-type=\"model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.ImageBlockElement\" class=\" dcr-173mewl\"><figcaption data-spacefinder-role=\"inline\" class=\"dcr-1fujct4\"><span class=\"dcr-1inf02i\"><svg width=\"18\" height=\"13\" viewbox=\"0 0 18 13\"><path d=\"M18 3.5v8l-1.5 1.5h-15l-1.5-1.5v-8l1.5-1.5h3.5l2-2h4l2 2h3.5l1.5 1.5zm-9 7.5c1.9 0 3.5-1.6 3.5-3.5s-1.6-3.5-3.5-3.5-3.5 1.6-3.5 3.5 1.6 3.5 3.5 3.5z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"dcr-1qvd3m6\">Truck drives through flood water on a road in Guerneville, California.<\/span> Photograph: John G Mabanglo\/EPA<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">A low pressure system is forecast to bring rain to the south-east early Thursday before heading to the north-east.

If the system tracks further inland, there could be less snow and more rain in the mountains, forecasters said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cThe system doesn\u2019t look like a powerhouse right now,\u201d Hayden Frank, a meteorologist with the national weather service in Massachusetts, said Sunday. \u201cBasically, this is going to bring rain to the I-95 corridor so travelers should prepare for wet weather. Unless the system trends a lot colder, it looks like rain.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Frank said he isn\u2019t seeing any major storm systems arriving for the weekend anywhere in the country so travelers heading home on Sunday can expect good driving conditions.
