The first round on Tuesday will bring four to six inches of snow to much of the region. The storm releases its fury on the Midwest Tuesday through Thursday, with two rounds of snow. The weather service also warns of wind chills falling to 25 degrees below zero. The heavy snow and extreme cold will move into the Rockies and Midwest as well, where the storm could have its biggest effects.īlizzard warnings are in place for southern Wyoming, where nearly two feet of snow and winds gusting more than 70 mph will create blinding conditions. “This amount of snow will result in the passes needing to be closed for a period of time which will impact traffic getting to and from Los Angeles,” The National Weather Service office in Hanford, California said. Parts of California could pick up as much two to three inches of rain, and up to three feet of snow through Wednesday, which could lead to travel headaches around some of the most densely populated areas. Seas just offshore will be as high as 20 feet, bringing large, breaking waves to coastal areas, causing beach erosion. The Cascade Mountains could see as much as three feet of snow in the highest elevations through Tuesday, while winds in the Pacific Northwest have the potential to gust up to 60 mph. “Storm total snowfall will likely be measured in feet for many of the mountain ranges across the West,” the Weather Prediction Center said. ![]() The storm is already showing signs of life along the West Coast, as snow and rain is already falling across the Pacific Northwest, adding to their already blockbuster snow season. Regardless, whomever is northwest of the storm track is likely to pick up plenty of snow. Winter air remains through the end of the 10-day forecast.Despite the fact spring is showing up early this year, we must remember winter isn’t over yet.Ī major winter storm is set to impact millions this week, from coast to coast, with heavy snow, dangerous winds, possible blizzard conditions and for some, the coldest temperatures of the season. Our team has issued a First Alert for Monday owing to the exceptional amount of moisture and the preceding cold air that seems likely to crank out at least some accumulating snow, even if a rain/snow line were to end up over southern New England Monday, which is still to be determined hinging on storm track. ![]() Meanwhile, the busy jet stream pattern will already be brewing the next storm – energy dropping southeast from Canada will paint a stripe of accumulating snow from the Upper Midwest through the Tennessee River Valley, then couple with a southern disturbance chock full of Gulf of Mexico moisture to drop snow over Georgia, the Carolinas and march a strengthening, moisture-loaded storm up the East Coast on Sunday night into Monday. The Friday storm moves east Friday night, but does an effective job at carrying cold, arctic air back into New England on Friday night through the weekend, with Saturday high temperatures likely only in the teens south and single digits north with a biting breeze, then only about 10 degrees less cold Sunday.

It's interesting.the weather is quieting a bit today and tomorrow here at home, but the jet stream - the fast river of air high in the sky that steers disturbances and storms - is ready to configure in a way that favors Eastern US storms through Monday. The first developing strong storm will find its footing Friday over the Gulf Stream off the Eastern Seaboard and move north. With a razor-sharp western edge to its precipitation shield, this storm is unlikely to deliver much more than clouds to most of New England, but we’re watching the track carefully for communities within about 30 miles of the coastline in eastern New England and especially Cape Cod and eastern Maine closest to the storm’s track and most likely of anyone to see some rain to snow or simply snow that may accumulate Friday. All the while, the jet stream pattern across the country – the fast river of air, high in the sky, that steers disturbances and storm systems – will be aligning in a pattern that favors storminess in the eastern half of the nation. ![]() With much less wind expected Thursday, high temperatures around 40 south and in the 30s north will actually feel much better in the absence of wind chill.
