Two winter storms are set to impact parts of the United States this week, with snow, freezing rain, and Arctic cold on the way. The first storm will bring rain and light icing to the central Plains before moving to Kentucky and Maryland, potentially bringing 3 to 6 inches of snow to the mid-Atlantic. Heavy rain is also expected in the South, with the possibility of localized flooding. Arctic cold air will bring well below average temperatures to the northern Rockies and northern high Plains.
The second storm will start with light snow in Colorado, Nebraska, and Kansas before moving on to produce moderate to heavy snow from Kansas to Michigan. Major metro areas like Kansas City, Chicago, and Detroit could see accumulating snow. The storm is expected to bring snow to northern New England and rain to the I-95 corridor before exiting into Canada. Additionally, strong to severe storms are possible in parts of the Southeast on Thursday.
Travel could become hazardous due to freezing rain and icy conditions in central/eastern Oklahoma into the Ozarks. The one-two punch of winter storms comes on the heels of another major winter storm that impacted the Midwest and Northeast over the weekend, leading to travel delays and icy roads. The Northeast saw significant snowfall, with Boston receiving 5.5 inches of snow in 24 hours. Overall, much of the country is facing wintry weather conditions this week.
