Two winter storms will bring snow, freezing rain and Arctic cold in a one-two punch to parts of the United States this week.
Some 29 million people were under winter alerts across the central Plains, the Midwest, the Ohio Valley and the mid-Atlantic on Monday morning ahead of two winter storms expected this week.
The first storm will take shape across the central Plains, with rain and light icing across Oklahoma and Arkansas. Come Tuesday, the storm will produce moderate snow from Kentucky to Maryland.
The mid-Atlantic will feel the biggest snow totals with 3 to 6 inches possible. Locally higher amounts of up to 8 inches can’t be ruled out. Washington, D.C., and Baltimore are forecast to pick up 4 to 6 inches of snow with a glaze of ice, Philadelphia could see 2 to 3 inches and New York City around 1 inch.
The southern side of the storm system will see heavy rain possible Tuesday and Wednesday across the South. There, 1 to 3 inches of rain, with locally higher amounts, is possible through Thursday.
