By Friday night, heavy rain will still be falling from New York City to Maine, including Boston.
Snow showers are expected for the Appalachian Mountains and into the eastern Great Lakes.
The storm will move into Canada by Saturday morning with just some lingering snow and rain showers in New England.
Meanwhile, several storms are heading to the Pacific Northwest. The storms are expected to bring coastal rain, gusty winds and feet of mountain snow to the West through Monday.
