A major winter storm will sweep across the U.S. this weekend into early next week, bringing a mix of rain, snow, and ice to the central Plains. The storm will then track east along Interstate 70, potentially impacting St. Louis with heavy snow and ice. By Sunday, hazardous travel conditions are expected from the Ohio Valley to the mid-Atlantic as the storm moves east. Meanwhile, thunderstorms with damaging winds and scattered tornadoes are possible from Houston to Memphis on Sunday afternoon.
Snow could reach Washington, D.C. by Sunday night, causing dangerous Monday morning commutes across the mid-Atlantic. Cities like Baltimore and Philadelphia could experience heavy snow on Monday, with accumulations of 6+ inches possible. A portion of the polar vortex is expected to trigger temperatures 10 to 25 degrees below normal for the eastern half of the U.S. by mid-next week, with wind chill potentially plunging below zero from the Midwest to the Northeast.
