Upper-level energy moving across the Lower 48 and southward from Canada will bring snow to the Midwest this weekend. Those disturbances will combine over the Northeast, but it will likely be too late for significant snow.

Both of those areas of lift in the atmosphere will squeeze out light snow in parts of the Midwest and Northeast this weekend.
