(AP) -- Residents in some Mid-Atlantic states awoke to late-season snow, while rain was expected to fall in wildfire-stricken Texas.
A fast-moving system was bringing a dusting to the Mid-Atlantic, but warmer temperatures were expected to emerge by afternoon.
In the West, snow was expected over the Rockies. Areas around Lake Tahoe, California, could see up to 18 inches, and lower elevations could see around 3 to 6 inches.
Moderate rains were forecast for much of Texas, particularly in the north and west. Firefighters battling wildfires that have charred nearly a million acres since Sunday were hoping for relief in the Texas Panhandle.
Temperatures in much of the Central Plains should be cool on Friday, but in the Southeast, temperatures are expected to be quite pleasant. Wilmington, North Carolina, was expected to be around 70°.
Temperatures in the Lower 48 states Thursday ranged from a low of minus-4° at Craig, Colorado to a high of 89° at Laredo, Texas.
