More Snow Ahead From the Plains to the Midwest and Northeast; Blizzard Conditions in the Northern Plains

A winter storm will produce a stripe of snow and ice through Thursday from the Plains to the Midwest and Northeast. Snow is falling from northern Oklahoma and eastern Kansas to near the Ohio River and in the central Appalachians. Lighter snow is falling from northern Wisconsin to South Dakota along the arctic cold front.  This plunging arctic blast is bringing high winds and blizzard conditions to parts of the Northern Plains, prompting blizzard warnings for parts of western Minnesota through late this afternoon. Among the locations that saw true blizzard conditions - with wind gusts over 35 mph and visibility of one-quarter or less for three hours - was Grand Forks and Fargo, North Dakota; Morris and Appleton, Minnesota; and Huron, South Dakota.  

Tonight, snow will spread from the Plains of northern Oklahoma and Kansas into northern and central Missouri, northern and central Illinois, northern and central Indiana, northern and central Ohio, far southern Michigan and possibly into portions of western Pennsylvania. The storm system will move farther east Wednesday night. Snow, or rain changing to snow, is expected from the mid-Mississippi and Ohio valleys to the Great Lakes and parts of the Northeast. Areas along Interstate 95 from New York City southward should have mostly rain, while rain and thunderstorms also continue across the South. In general, most areas will pick up less than 6 inches of snow through Thursday.
