New Winter Weather Event Bearing Down on Central and Eastern U.S.

A new winter storm is coming right behind the weekend weather maker, threatening more snow for a large zone from the Midwest to the Northeast. Here is a more detailed look at the timing and likely impact zone of these impacts as Americans head back to work and school this week.

New Storm Bearing Down on Central and Eastern U.S.

Back-to-back storm systems are creating a mess across the Midwest, the Great Lakes, and the interior Northeast to start the week. The latest storm will take aim at the northeastern U.S. on Tuesday and Wednesday. Forecasters are warning that this could evolve into a major winter weather event for the Northeast, packing widespread snow and ice through the middle of the week.

The latest forecast models indicate that all of the ingredients are in place to support an impactful storm for millions of Americans. A surge of air filtering to the north from the Gulf will provide the moisture for this storm. This moisture will pair with an influx of upper-level energy to set off the snow machine. Lastly, an area of low pressure coming together off the East Coast will amplify the storm's impacts.
