Following brief lull, forecasters say another winter storm looms for central, eastern US

Source: AccuWeather

By Alex Sosnowski,

A new round of travel problems associated with the next winter storm will spread from the central United States to the Northeast following a lull from snow and ice for a time this week.

The storm is destined to bring wintry precipitation and travel problems over a broad swath, even though Arctic air in place to start this week will grow stale and trend milder over time.

First, a weak storm producing spotty rain and mountain snow in California on Monday will swing eastward at midweek.

"That preliminary storm will bring a bit of snow and a wintry mix to portions of the central Plains and Upper Midwest during Tuesday night and Wednesday," AccuWeather Meteorologist Matt Benz said.

mainly Thursday through the weekend. Did a quick scan of cities from Detroit down to Birmingham and there's nasty stuff forecast from North to deep South, although they're holding off on accumulation predictions 'cause it's a bit early.

Looks like going North from a West/East line through roughly St. Louis/Louisville/Charleston (WV) and Philadelphia will see at least a wintry mix of snow and ice with a lot of rain. Good recipe for driving on ice for the morning commute.

Good time to stay at the house......
