Major Snowstorm For The East Looms
(State College, PA) - While any snowfall recently has been light, a
storm set to strengthen in the southern Plains will spread a swath of plowable snow from the northern High Plains to the Ohio Valley Monday into Tuesday. The Northeast will then be under the gun for a significant amount of snow for Valentine's Day. After the weekend ends on a mainly calm note across the eastern half of the nation, stormy and wintry weather will impact areas from the Plains to the East Coast during the first half of the workweek. The culprit behind the snow, rain and thunderstorms, which has already prompted Winter Storm Watches across the Ohio Valley, is the storm that will make for an unsettled day across the Western states today. As the clash of frigid air to the north with warm and moist air pouring in from the south allows the storm to strengthen over the southern Plains, the Midwest Regional News story discusses how a swath of accumulating snow will spread from the northern High Plains to the Ohio Valley on Monday. The Ohio Valley will then continue to see snowfall at night into Tuesday as the storm slowly heads to the central East Coast. According to our Winter Weather Center, up to a foot of snow will impact places from northern Missouri to southwestern Pennsylvania by the end of Tuesday. Besides the interior, especially east of Lake Ontario, the Northeast has generally been void of heavy snowfall so far this winter. This will all change by Valentine's Day after the storm, which will rapidly intensify once moving off the central East Coast, drops a significant amount of snow over the region Tuesday night into Wednesday. While AccuWeather.com will continue to finesse exactly where the corridor of heaviest snow, which could total over a foot, falls, our Winter Weather Center is warning residents of the Northeast to prepare for numerous travel delays and school closures on Valentine's Day from the storm. The storm's strong winds will whip and drift the snow, creating near-blizzard conditions, especially over New England. Check out the East Regional News story for the latest details on this looming storm. While another arctic blast will set the stage for the major snowstorm across the Northeast, residents from Charlotte to Raleigh, N.C., can breathe a sigh of relief as cold air will press into the Carolinas, but the air will only be cold enough for a chilly rain, not another ice storm. The rest of the Southeastern states will also have rainy weather underneath the warm side of the storm Monday into Tuesday, which the South Regional News story discusses further. Thunderstorms will also rumble over the Gulf Coast states. Our Severe Weather Center is warning that the most intense storms will produce damaging winds and a few tornadoes over western areas on Monday, then across northern Florida and areas just to the north on Tuesday. Following the passing of the storm, a dome of high pressure will once again settle over the eastern half of the nation for the latter part of the workweek. Brutally cold air and blustery winds will not only grip the Northeast and Great Lakes, but also crank up the lake-effect snow machine. |
