PNW Winter Storm Warning, Northern Plains Snowfall this week
The weather forecast for the second half of this week looks quite interesting. Earlier this week, the Northeast will see some positive signs of relief following the ongoing drought that caused several wildfires.
However, the welcome precipitation is likely to turn into some less welcome early snowfall. Westwards and southwards, snow is also expected.
However, the presence of snow does not preclude additional storms from occurring elsewhere in the U.S., such as thunderstorms, damaging winds, and multiple tornadoes.
Winter weather and slick roads are already causing some travelers to rethink their holiday travel plans as the busy holiday season approaches. Snowfall is predicted for this week based on what we know so far.

Snow is forecast for the Northeast, Midwest, and Southwest this week
Meteorologists at Accuweather predicted a “major” storm could move into the Great Lakes region on Monday. Winds are expected to pick up in the area on Wednesday, then move into the Midwest and Northeast.
Snow is likely to fall in parts of New England, the Midwest, and the Southeast due to the cold air produced by the storm.
Snow could fall heavily over the Great Lakes if the chilly air passes over the warm water. Accuweather predicts snow in portions of the Ohio Valley and central and southern Appalachia as well.
‘The colder air will arrive in the Plains around Wednesday and spread quickly to the Northeast, South, and Midwest on Thursday,’ meteorologist Jonathan Erdman said. We’re likely to see it stick around through the weekend.”
Snow accumulations of up to a foot are possible in northern Rockies and Cascades regions, according to the National Weather Service.
Several freeze warnings have already been issued in California’s Central Valley, warning that the conditions may damage unprotected outdoor plumbing and kill crops.
