Snow and snow showers are in store around the lower Great Lakes to the northern part of New England. Aside from rain showers in eastern New England for a time, the balance of the eastern half of the nation is projected to be free of precipitation. High pressure will build over the interior South, providing some sunshine. Farther west, winds will kick up over the Plains and Rockies. Showers of rain and high-elevation snow will occur over the northern Rockies.

And they are coming sooner than you think. That's the message inves - tors took away from the Fed- eral Reserve on Wednesday. In response, they sent stocks and gold prices lower and bond yields sharply higher. The Dow Jones industrial average lost 114.02 points, or 0.7 percent, to 16,222.17. The Dow fell as much as 209 points before erasing some of its loss. The Standard & Poor's 500 index dropped 11.48 points, or 0.6 percent, to 1,860.77 and the Nasdaq composite lost 25.71 points, or 0.6 percent, to 4,307.60. The Fed voted to cut its monthly bond purchases from $65 billion to $55 bil - lion, in line with what ana- lysts were expecting. De- spite severe winter weather in January and February, the Fed said economy had recovered enough for it to continue reducing the bond buys, which are aimed at keeping long-term interest rates low. The Federal Reserve also said the vast majority of its policymakers believed it would be appropriate for the central bank to raise short- term interest rates starting in 2015. The Federal Funds rate, traditionally the Fed's main tool for regulating the health of the economy, has been near zero since 2008. "We think they are ac - knowledging for the first time that short-term rates will rise in the future," Chris Rupkey, chief financial econ - omist with Bank of Tokyo- Mitsubishi UFJ, wrote in an e-mail to clients. "And that future is not that far away. A normal economy will need a normal interest rate." Traders were also con - fused after newly appointed Fed Chair Janet Yellen im- plied that the Fed's time frame for raising inter- est rates was closer to the first half of 2015, sooner than many had expected. A decline in stock and bond prices steepened after she made her comments. Whether or not Yellen meant to say that interest rates would rise in early 2015 didn't matter, the mar - ket took Yellen at her word, strategists said. "It creates a haze of un- certainty," said Andres Gar- cia-Amaya, global market strategist with J.P. Morgan Funds. "As we get closer to 2015, we should expect more volatility like this." The reaction to Yellen's remarks and the Fed's an - nouncements was far more noticeable in the bond mar- ket. The yield of the 10-year U.S. Treasury note, a bench- mark for many kinds of loans including mortgages, rose to 2.77 percent from 2.67 per- cent Tuesday, a large move. The sell-off was even more pronounced in two-year and five-year Treasury notes. The yield on the two-year note jumped to 0.42 percent from 0.35 percent and the five-year note's yield rose to 1.7 percent from 1.54 per - cent. The U.S. dollar had its biggest one-day gain since August 2013 and gold had its worst day since December. In afterhours trading, gold was down $28.20, or 2 per - cent, to $1,330.80 an ounce. Financial stocks did bet- ter than the rest of the mar- ket. Citigroup rose 80 cents, or 1.7 percent, to $48.94 and Bank of America rose 25 cents, or 1.5 percent, to $17.44. Banks, in particular big commercial lenders like Citi, benefit from higher in - terest rates because they can charge more for loans and credit card balances. In company news: • KB Home, one of the na - tion's largest homebuilders, jumped $1.04, or 6 percent, to $18.72 after the company reported much higher prof - its than investors were ex- pecting. KB earned 12 cents a share, four cents more than analysts had forecast. The company also said the av - erage selling price of a new home rose 12 percent from last year.
