Two winter storms are expected to bring snow, freezing rain, and Arctic cold to parts of the United States this week. The first storm will impact the central Plains, the Midwest, the Ohio Valley, and the mid-Atlantic, with snow totals of 3 to 6 inches possible in some areas. Heavy rain is also expected in the South, with a risk of excessive rainfall and possible flooding in the southern Plains and lower Mississippi Valley.
Arctic cold air will accompany the storms, bringing temperatures 25 to 40 degrees below average in the northern Rockies and northern high Plains. Wind chills as low as minus 55 degrees Fahrenheit are forecast in North Dakota.
The second storm will bring light snow to Colorado, Nebraska, and Kansas, with moderate to heavy snow expected from Kansas to Michigan. Major metro areas like Kansas City, Chicago, and Detroit could see accumulating snow. The storm will exit into Canada, bringing snow to northern New England and rain to the I-95 corridor from Boston to Raleigh.
A wintry mix of sleet and freezing rain could lead to hazardous travel conditions in central/eastern Oklahoma into the Ozarks. The storms come on the heels of a big winter storm that hit the Midwest and Northeast over the weekend, causing travel delays and icy roads. New York City and Boston both saw significant snowfall, with over 3,000 domestic flight delays recorded on Sunday.
