Midwest and East Brace for Winter Storm, While Relief is in Sight

Midwest’s Turn to Face Winter’s Wrath

Monday brings the latest in a relentless chain of winter storms to the Midwest, threatening up to a foot of snow in some areas, as forecasted by AccuWeather. The storm will sweep across portions of Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Missouri on Monday night and Tuesday, according to AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Joe Lundberg.

Potential for Significant Travel Impacts

The National Weather Service has issued an enhanced winter storm threat for Wednesday night through Thursday night, with the potential for significant travel impacts and closures. Richmond, Virginia, to Washington D.C., may experience their largest snow of the winter thus far, with a swath of 6-12 inches of snow, again as forecasted by AccuWeather.

Timing Adds to Travel Challenges

AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Courtney Travis highlights the particular challenges posed by the timing of the snow in parts of the Interstate 95 corridor on Wednesday afternoon. Snow arriving in the afternoon in places like Washington and Baltimore could lead to rapidly deteriorating travel conditions during the afternoon and evening commute.

A Busy Winter Season

This storm marks the latest in a busy weather season for the region. The biggest storm thus far came through on Jan. 5-6, dropping 7.2 inches in the nation’s capital and a half-foot in Richmond.

Relief in Sight

Despite the relentless barrage of wintry weather, AccuWeather meteorologists predict that the string of punches should come to an end this week. This welcome news will be met with relief by those weary of the winter’s wrath.
