Another powerful storm system is expected to sweep across a wide swath of the United States, bringing heavy rain to Southern California, heavy snow to parts of the West and Midwest and more snow and freezing rain to the Northeast and New England.

The National Weather Service says a strong storm will bring moderate to heavy snowfall across parts of the Upper Great Lakes and Northeast this weekend.

A second winter storm in as many days will slam parts of the Midwest before rolling toward the East Coast. Major travel disruptions are likely.
