Winter Weather Watch: Midwest, Interior Northeast Snow
Rain to snow Tuesday and Tuesday night over parts of the Northeast and Appalachians... Significant snowfall likely from northern Minnesota to the U.P. of Michigan Wednesday/Wednesday night.
Tuesday: Great Lakes/Northeast
Cold air sweeping in behind an area of low pressure will produce some snow from the eastern Great Lakes to northern New England Great Lakes Tuesday into Tuesday night. In general 1 to 3 inches of snow is likely from northwest Pennsylvania to Upstate New York. Snow showers will wind down from Ohio to Kentucky Tuesday morning but some light snow will move into the Appalachians from TN/NC to WV.
Tuesday Night Into Wednesday: Interior New England
Low pressure system will bring cold air down across northern New England with marginal snow... Some light accumulations possible in higher elevations of northern New England.
Wednesday/Thursday: Upper Midwest
A somewhat more vigorous Low will cut across the Upper Midwest and produce several inches of snow for northern Minnesota through the U.P. of Michigan. This will likely be a snowier event compared to Monday's system and could produce enough heavy, wet snow to bring down branches resulting in scattered power outages. Minneapolis will likely be on the southern edge of the snow, however Duluth eastward to northern Wisconsin and the U.P. of Michigan could see significant accumulations in the range of 6-10 inches or more. We will need to monitor this closely.
As an aside, Duluth currently has 118.1 inches of snow which is their 5th snowiest winter on record. They could vault to the third highest snowfall on record after this upcoming event, they set their second highest seasonal snowfall just last year, and that was after picking up 50" of snow in the month of April !!
Central and Northern Rockies
Low moving out of the 4-Corners Region will induce an easterly flow across the Front Range of the Central and Northern Rockies with several inches of snow, especially in the Colorado Rockies. Denver looks warm enough to only get marginal snowfall Wednesday night into early Thursday morning, and temperatures will warm quickly during the day limiting any impacts.
