Will Another Winter Storm Hammer the East This Week?

           In just over a month's time, The Weather Channel has named ten winter storms, which averages out to one every three to four days. The Northeast has been impacted by seven of these, while five storms have impacted — and in some cases, crippled — parts of the South. The week ahead will bring another threat of a winter storm, as fresh cold air is poised to pump into the nation's Midwest, South and East, which will be coupled with an active jet stream. Let's break down what we know, and still do not know, at this time.

Any South Snow, Ice?

• Threat: Light sleet, freezing rain, or snow on the northern fringe of the precipitation shield from parts of Oklahoma into the Tennessee Valley and southern Appalachians
• Timing: Tuesday, Tuesday night and early Wednesday
• Uncertainties: How fast the cold air will arrive. If it arrives faster, precipitation may change to freezing rain, sleet, or snow sooner, with more accumulation possible. For now, any amounts appear to be very light and very spotty.
