This early part of the winter season is unfolding as a have-and-have-not situation for snow for much of the central and eastern U.S. While some areas have picked up plenty of snow, other areas have yet to see any significant accumulation. That could change this week as a series of quick-moving Alberta clipper storms race through this half of the country with moisture and cold temperatures. Read on for all of the details.

Storms Bringing Chance of Snow and High Winds

It is going to be a busy week of weather for a large swath of the U.S. from the northern Plains into the Upper Midwest and the mid-Atlantic. A parade of storms originating in Canada will push down over the border and to the east in the days ahead. The persistent waves of Arctic air will support the development of snow for millions of Americans.

The action ignited on Tuesday when a clipper tracked over the northern Plains on its way to the Upper Midwest. Forecasters predict that this storm will reach the Lower Peninsula of Michigan on Wednesday before ejecting off the New England coastline by Thursday morning.

A midweek Alberta clipper sweeps across the northern Plains and Great Lakes, delivering several inches of snow and pockets of sleet and freezing rain as Arctic air dives south. Wind gusts over 40 mph are expected as the storm pushes east. (NOAA/WPC)
