Snowstorm to Track From Plains to Midwest and Interior Northeast as More Rain Soaks Waterlogged South

A snowstorm will track from the Plains to the Midwest and interior Northeast through midweek where a band of heavy snow and gusty winds will likely create difficult travel conditions in some areas. Winter storm watches have been issued by the National Weather Service for parts of the upper Midwest from central and eastern Iowa into northern Illinois and southeast Wisconsin. These watches include Chicago; Milwaukee; Rockford, Illinois; and Davenport, Iowa.

An initial weather disturbance will track across the South on Monday. Rain will stretch from the Gulf Coast to the southern Great Lakes. Some wet snowflakes might mix in with the rain on the northwestern edge of the precipitation in the Midwest. Snow is expected from the northern Rockies into the Northern Plains as a separate disturbance quickly moves eastward. A narrow band of heavy snow could set up somewhere from northeast Missouri and southeast Iowa into northern Illinois, southeast Wisconsin and Lower Michigan. Significant travel impacts are possible in Chicago, Milwaukee and Davenport, Iowa, by Tuesday or Tuesday night.

Snow, or a rain-and-snow mix, is also possible in northern New York and northern New England. There will also be increasingly strong winds over the Midwest and Plains. Snow and gusty winds will affect an area from eastern Missouri to Michigan on Wednesday, possibly including Chicago, Milwaukee and Grand Rapids, Michigan. The best chance for 6 inches or more of snowfall is from southeastern Iowa and far northeast Missouri into parts of northern Illinois, southeast Wisconsin and Lower Michigan. This could include Chicago, Milwaukee and the Quad Cities.
