...There is a chance of showers and thunderstorms over parts of
the Plains and Upper Great Lakes from Thursday into Saturday...

...Light snow over parts of the Northern Rockies/Great Basin...

A front over the Central/Southern Rockies moves northeastward to
the Upper Great Lakes to the Central Plains by Saturday. The front
will produce showers and thunderstorms over parts of the
Northern/Central Plains, the Southern High Plains, the Upper
Mississippi Valley, and the Great Lakes on Thursday. As the front
moves eastward on Friday, showers and thunderstorms likewise move
eastward over the Upper Mississippi Valley/Upper Great Lakes to
the Middle Mississippi Valley and the Central/Southern Plains, and
continue through Saturday.

In addition, upper-level energy will create rain and
higher-elevation snow over the Northern Rockies and the Great
Basin on Thursday into Saturday. Moreover, weak onshore flow will
help develop rain over the Pacific Northwest on Thursday into
Saturday. Additionally, from overnight Thursday into Saturday,
weak onshore flow off the Gulf will create scattered showers and
thunderstorms over parts of the Western Gulf Coast. Similarly,
onshore flow off the Atlantic will generate rain and showers over
parts of Florida through Saturday. Lastly, upper-level energy will
trigger scattered showers over parts of Northern New England
through Friday morning.
