The storm will start around 11 p.m. in New York City and will blanket snow throughout the night in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and Connecticut.

Meanwhile, out West, California is bracing for another storm set to strike Friday night after seeing almost two feet of rain this week.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has declared an emergency for five counties after the heavy rain flooded about 2,000 buildings, trapped residents in floodwaters and led to the death of at least one person, according to The Associated Press.

The storm will then move east and by Saturday afternoon and night, it'll be bringing heavy snow to Denver.

A new storm will be covering much of the U.S. by Saturday night.
