After depositing a swath of snow and ice over parts of the central and southern Plains to close out the week and blanketing parts of the Midwest with snow on Saturday, more snow will fall across the Great Lakes before the storm takes off away from the area.
A swath of slippery travel will stretch across the general area around Chicago and Detroit. Snow showers will taper off through the day on Sunday across Wisconsin, Illinois, and Indiana but a lake-effect component will kick in across Michigan. This is where the heaviest snowfall accumulations will be centered as the storm departs.
After snow, sleet and freezing rain spread over much of the region on Saturday, warmer air has lifted into the region, allowing for much of the precipitation to change over to a chilly rain.
However, some snowy and icy conditions will still fall over northern New England through Sunday afternoon where the cold air holds longer. This can lead to dangerous travel conditions in central and northern New England.
From part of upstate New York to northern New England, enough ice buildup can occur to weigh down trees and cause power outages.
According to AccuWeather.com Senior Meteorologist Bernie Rayno, "Northern New England has the potential for a significant snow and ice event with multiple hours of slippery travel on the front side of the storm prior to any warmup."
The storm will end from west to east on Sunday.
Similar to the Midwest, gusty winds may cause some flight delays Sunday into Monday with lake-effect snow and snow showers from the central Appalachians to the lower Great Lakes.
Rain, locally gusty winds and low cloud ceilings will continue to bring the threat for flight delays and problems for motorists in a large part of the Southeast through Sunday.
After severe storms rumbled across Louisiana and Mississippi Saturday, localized strong storms are possible across parts of the region.
