Good afternoon,
2015 came in like a bucket of cold water for many parts of
the nation as a swath of snow and cold air that wreaked havoc through southern
California and the Southwest has continued to track east taking aim at many
other states.
The Northern Plains and the Northeast are the next ones in
line for frigid temperatures, heavy snow and hundreds of travel delays.
Starting Monday evening, snow will target major cities from Sioux Falls, SD to
Detroit, MI with enough snow to reduce visibility to dangerous conditions in a
short amount of time. Motorist driving through interstates throughout these
states are being warned of the conditions and advised to not only drive with
caution, but to also pull over if need be as white-out conditions will be more
than likely.
As the day begins Tuesday, the blanket of snow is expected
to move further east with several inches across PA before extending further north
into southern New England. Cities from Philadelphia into Boston can see enough
snow to delay travel through major airports and highways up and down the
eastern coast.
Aside from the snow expected from the Northern Plains into
the Northeast, another major concern will be the temperatures as this system
will also be accompanied by frigid digits. Daytime highs will struggle to reach
the teens across the Plains and Midwest as the week commences, but as this
system moves east, another blast of frosty air will move in bringing high
temperatures that will barely go above zero. As for the Northeast, once the
storm clears, cold temperatures are expected to linger for a couple more of days.
Wishing everyone a safe weekend!
