Multiple Snow Threats Across the Northern U.S.

Multiple storm systems will bring snow threats across the northern U.S. through the end of the week.
Up first is an area of low pressure cruising through the Great Lakes this morning, which will move into the Northeast later this afternoon. Along and north of this low pressure system, a swath of snow will fall from Minnesota eastward through Lower Michigan this morning. Snow will spread into the interior Northeast by this afternoon. A general 1 to 4 inches of snow will fall in these areas, though localized amounts up to 6 inches will be possible near the Great Lakes.
Winter Weather Warnings and Advisories are found from Wisconsin eastward to Lower Michigan, northeastern Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, northern New Hampshire, and northern Maine. Are even a few Winter Weather Advisories found over the higher elvations of the central to southern Appalachian Mountains, with a few Blizzard Warnings over the higher elevations in West Virginia and most westward section of the high terrain of Maryland.
With cold air expected to continue to funnel into the Northeast on Thursday, the lake-effect snow machine will be activated. Several more inches of snow will be possible, especially downwind of Lakes Erie and Ontario.
In addition to the expected wintry weather, strong, gusty winds will accompany the low pressure system as it moves across the northern U.S. Currently, numerous High Wind Warnings are found across most of Wyoming and high terrain central Colorado, where wind gusts of 45 to 60 mph will be possible. Wind Advisories have also been issued for eastern Kansas, central to northern Missouri, and central Illinois. Further southeast more Wind Advisories have been issued for eastern Kentucky, southwestern Virginia, eastern Tennessee, southwestern North Carolina, eastern Georgia, and central South Carolina. Here, winds could gust as high as 45 mph.
Following this first storm system, another area of low pressure will develop over the northern Rockies today and will streak across the Plains and into the Midwest Thursday and Friday. Another swath of snow will spread across eastern Montana and the Dakotas later today and across southern Minnesota and Iowa on Thursday before spreading into parts of the Ohio Valley Thursday night and Friday.
A general 1 to 4 inches of snow is expected with this second feature. There may even be a narrow band of freezing rain and drizzle that can produce a glaze of icing just to the south and west of the snow. Winter Weather Advisories have been posted across eastern Montana into the Dakotas with this feature.
It’s never too early to have a supply kit packed in case of inclement weather. A simple kit including a weather radio, water, blankets, batteries, and non-perishable food items will go a long way in the event of a power outage. It’s always best to avoid travel in rough weather as the roads will be dangerous.
