Ice Storm Will Be Followed by Another Winter Storm This Weekend in Parts of The Northeast, Midwest

The first winter storm is expected from Wednesday to Thursday in the Midwest and Northeast. A second winter storm will enter the West late week, then spread across the Midwest and Northeast over the weekend. Snow and ice from both systems will create hazardous travel conditions.

Winter weather advisories have been issued for large parts of the Midwest, Appalachians, mid-Atlantic and Northeast, including Baltimore, Chicago, New York and Pittsburgh. Difficult travel conditions are possible in these areas.

Freezing rain and sleet will develop in northern Missouri and Iowa before spreading across the southern Great Lakes later Wednesday and overnight, including Chicago, Cleveland and Detroit. Keep in mind even small amounts of icing could make travel hazardous, so it's best to stay off road.

Portions of the mid-Atlantic, including Baltimore, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., might see hazardous travel conditions from freezing rain and sleet Wednesday night into early Thursday morning before transitioning to rain by later Thursday morning.

The Interstate 95 corridor from New York City to Boston could start as snowfall or a wintry mix late Wednesday night or Thursday, but these areas will likely change to rain at some point during the day on Thursday. In the interior, significant icing is possible in central Pennsylvania.
