Winter hanging on in Upper Midwest, Northeast with more snow, ice inbound
It may feel like spring in parts of the central and eastern United States now, but winter is hanging on over the Upper Midwest and Northeast with areas of snow and ice upcoming.
Storms will continue to ride along the boundary between warm and cold air in the Midwest and Northeast into this weekend. On the cold side of the storm track, rounds of snow and ice are expected to create slippery travel.
On the northwestern part of this storm, an area of heavier snow developed over parts of Wyoming and Nebraska Thursday and extended toward central and northeastern Iowa Thursday night.
On Friday, the bulk of the snow from the storm will fall across southwestern Wisconsin, northern Michigan and central Ontario. Within the heaviest snow zone, pockets of 6-12 inches are forecast to accumulate with an AccuWeather Local StormMax™ of 24 inches.
As this storm extends eastward from Friday to Saturday, an area of accumulating snow is forecast to develop across parts of upstate New York and New England.
From 3 to 6 inches of snow is forecast to fall from northeastern New York to much of Vermont, New Hampshire, northern Massachusetts and southwestern Maine.
South of the snow area in the Midwest and the Northeast, rain and drizzle will occur from Friday to Saturday.
From Saturday night to Sunday, AccuWeather meteorologists will be monitoring the track and strength of a storm that has the potential to bring heavy snow, a mixture of snow and rain or very little rain and snow to the Northeast.
