A winter storm forms in the US 2:05
(CNN) - For the third consecutive weekend, a storm will throw rain and snow in the eastern half of the country. While this storm will have much less snow than last weekend, it could disrupt the trips of millions of Americans.
Friday's storm presents snow
During Friday, snow will continue to fall during part of the Midwest.
Minneapolis, Des Moines, Iowa and Chicago could see about an inch of snow or less. The highest amounts will be on the upper peninsula of Michigan, which could collect around 15.2 centimeters of snow.
A cold rain will be the story of much of the southeast, the Ohio Valley and the great eastern lakes. The amounts of rainfall should be relatively small.
Atlanta and Charlotte could collect 5.1 centimeters of rain. Nashville, St. Louis and Jackson, Mississippi, will probably see 2.5 cms or less.
Expect possible travel delays in Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, Atlanta and Charlotte on Friday.
And the saturday
By Saturday, the storm moves eastward, impacting the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast.
Heavy rains will fall from North Carolina to northern New England during the day and night.
Very few places outside of the interior of New England will see snow. About 5 to 10.2 centimeters of snow will fall in eastern West Virginia, as well as in northern Pennsylvania and north through the upper New England. Above you will see higher amounts.
There could also be some persistent snow for the Ohio Valley, but it will move quickly.
However, most of the precipitation with this system will be a cold rain.

New York City could see some icy rain and sleet before quickly changing to rain on Saturday.
The amounts of rain will be around 5.1 centimeters for Washington, New York and Philadelphia.
Boston and Portland, Maine, will receive approximately an inch of rain, as well as gusty winds that could delay the trip until Saturday night.
The storm will push offshore early Sunday, with clear skies in New England during the day.
Temperatures will remain near average for most places after the system moves.
