The big story this week will be the massive cold front that will plow across the country from the Rockies to the East coast. That front will bring snow, blowing snow, falling temperatures of 20-30 degrees or more and high winds associated with a line of severe storms. The snow will impact southern Canada Monday. That area will see 4-8 inches of snow. The light to moderate snow will come down the Plains and Front Range of the Rockies Tuesday. Expect 1-4 inches of snow with rapid temperature changes and blowing snow.

That front will impact the Midwest to the East coast with rain changing to snow and blowing snow with rapid freezes as temperatures plummet behind the front. As the front moves through, expect winds gusting to 60 mph with the potential for gusts over 60 mph in the Mid-Atlantic Wednesday evening.

A snowstorm will hit the Northern Plains and southern Canada today into tomorrow. That area will see up to 8 inches of snow in places with some blowing now in the open areas.

Snow will also come down the Front Range of the Rockies and will impact areas from Cheyenne to Denver with 1-4 inches of snow tonight into Saturday. This is not a major storm but one that may cause some travel problems.
