Officials warned that the expected mixed precipitation would make driving difficult and dangerous on Sunday afternoon into Monday night. Coastal areas along New York, New Jersey, Long Island and southwest Connecticut could see some minor coastal flooding during high tide on Sunday evening.

In New York, Binghamton University canceled Monday classes in anticipation of the snow.

On Friday evening, roads were already closed in Wyoming and Colorado, where forecasters said winds could reach 80 miles per hour on Saturday.

Taking its time on a wet and blustery journey, the storm took shape early in the week around the California and Oregon coasts, bringing snow to areas in the West that don’t typically see much snow, Brian Hurley, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, said.

For instance, Salt Lake City recorded 6 inches of snow and Flagstaff, Ariz., got 14 inches in some areas, he said.

The snowfall in higher elevations resulted in flooding, including in Arizona where a vehicle was swept away.

The storm continued traveling east toward the Northern and Central Plains on Saturday, and will pass through the Great Lakes and the Northeast before slowly moving off the East Coast by early on Tuesday, Mr. Hurley said.
