A Parade of Snowy Systems Will Continue to Bring Snow, Wind and Extreme Cold Across the East Through the Weekend

Multiple systems are pushing across the Northern Tier of the country through the weekend, bringing heavy snow to the Great Lakes, Ohio Valley, and Northeast. Winter’s snow machine continues for the Northeast and Great Lakes through the weekend as a series of systems pulls across the region.

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.

Lighter snow will dwindle in New England early Friday while the next round of snow arrives in the Midwest and Great Lakes. Many of the same areas that saw snow from the first system will receive snow from this one, adding to those snow totals and the potential for more pileups.

Not only will temperatures plummet, but strong winds behind the cold front will send wind chills to dangerous levels for some locations. We could be talking about wind chills as low as 20-35 degrees below zero for portions of the Northern Plains. Even places like Pittsburgh and New York will experience wind chills in the teens and single digits. Models continue to tease the possibility of accumulating snow for portions of the South, but the chances have begun to diminish across the board.
