A Parade of Snowy Systems This Week Is Bringing Snow, Wind and Extreme Cold Across the East

Multiple systems are pushing across the Northern Tier of the country this week, bringing heavy snow to the Great Lakes, Ohio Valley and Northeast.

Not only snow, but Arctic air will surge southward as well, causing temperatures to dive across the eastern half of the country. This, along with strong winds, will create dangerous wind chills for millions.

The first system is diving into portions of the Midwest and Great Lakes to bring a round of snow through Wednesday, bringing a quick shot of snow to the upper Midwest and Great Lakes. Then the system will bring lingering snow into the interior portions of New England on Thursday. While the heaviest snow will be downwind of the Great Lakes, we could see some decent snow totals for portions of the Appalachians. And more snow will add to these totals later in the week.

The next round of snow will arrive in the Midwest and Great Lakes on Thursday before pushing eastward. Many of the same areas that see snow from the first system would receive snow from this one, adding to those snow totals.

However, as this system potentially makes its way to the Northeast and New England late Friday, on Saturday, we could potentially see snow accumulating for the I-95 corridor. This could make for messy driving conditions and possible airport delays, though the models don't agree yet on whether or not wintry weather is on the way.
