Chicago Winter Storm Watch

From Minneapolis to the East Coast

A winter storm will continue to spread a swath of heavy snow from the Dakotas to the Ohio Valley early this week.
This is the same winter storm which could bring significant snow to Washington, D.C., and Baltimore metro areas with dangerous coastal flooding along the East coast Wednesday into Thursday.
This storm, which has already brought accumulating snow to the northern Rockies and rain showers as far south as San Francisco and Salt Lake City, moved into the Plains Sunday night.




In the city of Chicago, approximately 6 inches of snow accumulation is expected through Tuesday with lesser amounts to the north toward Racine and Milwaukee, Wis. An accumulation of 6 inches would surpass the biggest storm of the season in Chicago, which to date is 5.4 inches that fell Feb. 26-27.
Snow will spread farther east on Tuesday, bringing accumulations to Indianapolis, Fort Wayne and Toledo.
