Another Round of Snow and Ice Through the Weekend in Midwest and Northeast

Fresh off the recent pounding from Winter Storms Cleon and Dion, another round of nasty winter weather is set to spread through the eastern third of the nation.
Through Thursday, localized areas of lake-effect snow could pile up more than 2 feet in western New York. After that, a new storm system will develop in the Midwest on Friday and head for the Northeast this weekend with more snow and some ice.
Here's breakdown of what's expected as we head into the weekend.

Friday: Wintry Mix Begins

Friday's Forecast

 

As the day progresses, precipitation will be on the increase as the new storm system begins to gather moisture from the Gulf of Mexico.
A mixed bag of precipitation — including freezing rain, sleet and snow — will begin to spread from northern Oklahoma and eastern Kansas into northern Arkansas, Missouri and western Illinois. Places like Kansas City, St. Louis, and Fayetteville, Ark. can expect to get some of the wintry precipitation.
Temperatures on the southern end of the wintry weather zone from northern Oklahoma to northern Arkansas and southern Missouri may warm above freezing during the day on Friday, changing any of the frozen precipitation to rain.
Through the overnight hours, the wintry mix will continue to push northeast, spreading over the rest of Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky.
