Snow in the Rockies; Showers and Thunderstorms Along the Gulf Coast; Potential Winter Storm for Northern Mid-Atlantic and Interior New England

A winter-like pattern will continue over much of the Lower 48 over the next few days, with snow stretching from the Rockies today into the Middle Mississippi Valley on Monday. Showers and thunderstorms will develop along the Gulf Coast and Southeast on Monday. As the storm moves northward late Monday into Tuesday, winter weather is possible from the Central Appalachians to Interior New England. Read More >

The first winter storm of the season arrives overnight into Monday as bands of light to moderate snow spread from west to east. Peak snow accumulations are expected to occur in the morning over northern and north central areas, spreading into eastern Kansas in the late morning to mid afternoon. The system should exit by early evening towards far eastern Kansas. Snowfall amounts are generally 1-3 inches with some areas seeing as much as 4 inches within the heavier snow bands. If you plan to travel tomorrow, be prepared for slow travel as roadways may be slick in spots and reduced visibilities due to the snowfall.
The bitterly cold temperatures stick around for the next several days. Today's wind chills will only reach the upper teens before remaining steady through Monday morning as the snow moves through the area. A brief reprieve comes Tuesday and Wednesday where high temperatures rise above freezing in the middle 30s before the next cold front arrives on Thursday. Thursday morning wind chills are once again in the single digits, perhaps below zero in northern Kansas.
