Storm Leaves the Northeast; Another Storm Coming Out of the Rockies


The storm heading up through the Canadian Maritimes will leave a couple inches of snow in northern Maine. In the meantime, the storm currently in the Rockies will track to eastern Texas by tomorrow morning, then through the Ohio Valley Friday, and, similar to the last storm, try and form a secondary system along the Eastern Seaboard.

As the storm comes out of the Rockies today and tonight, the heaviest snow amounts will form from Colorado, across Kansas, southern Nebraska, into central Missouri, with 3-6 inches generally. There will be 6-12 inches over high mountains of Colorado, and near the track of this strengthening storm, in central and eastern Kansas, similar amounts. Snow and ice will accumulate as far south as Oklahoma City, and across northern Arkansas into western Kentucky by tomorrow morning. The northernmost extent of the accumulating snow, 1-3 inches, will be up into South Dakota and Iowa.

The rest of the West will have snow to contend with today and tonight; a few inches of new snow will accumulate in the Cascades and Sierra; over parts of eastern Oregon and Washington, and in the mountains of Idaho, western Montana, Wyoming, south into northern Utah and northeast Nevada, and as far south as the New Mexico mountains.

Tomorrow night and Friday, this storm will affect the areas east of the Mississippi River, all the way to the Eastern Seaboard.
