More Snow Headed to the Midwest and Northeast as Week Comes to a Close

The storm system that is currently chugging through the Pacific Northwest and spreading snow, rain, and ice is going to push over the Rockies and deposit more precipitation across the Midwest before moving into the Northeast by the end of the week.

This weather maker carries the possibility of delivering accumulating snowfall in a large swath from Chicago, down into Nashville, and into Boston with all points in between in the potential path. Here is a more detailed look at what you can expect for the central and eastern U.S. in the coming days.

Cold Temperatures Will Support Production of More Wintry Precipitation

Temperatures are forecast to remain low enough for the Midwest and the interior portions of the Northeast, supporting the development of more snow that will continue to stick around rather than melt. A slight warming trend across the middle of the U.S. on Thursday will quickly be erased by Friday as another mass of frigid air settles in over the region.

It has already been a snowy week for the eastern half of the nation. Monday night's storm ended the nearly two-year long snow drought in cities such as New York City, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C.
