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 snow and ice Saturday afternoon and evening in northern New Jersey could cause slick driving conditions, the National Weather Service said.

Several inches of snow, freezing rain and rain are ahead in Western New York this weekend, part of a storm system predicted to sweep into New York Saturday morning. The National Weather Service in Buffalo has issued a winter weather advisory for much of western New York for Saturday.
