According to Accuweather.com, a large area is forecast to receive 6-12 inches of snow from South Dakota through Iowa, southern Minnesota, northwestern Illinois and southern Wisconsin into the Lower Peninsula of Michigan.
From northern Missouri and central Illinois into Ohio and western New York, rain will fall during the height of the storm, reducing storm-total snowfall.
For the rest of the eastern U.S. it's a rain event this weekend. Severe thunderstorms are possible Saturday afternoon and night across northeastern Texas, western Louisiana and southern Arkansas.
Colder air is forecast to move into parts of the central and eastern U.S. behind the weekend storm, and the extent of that cold will help determine the track of the next storm from Monday to Tuesday night capable of producing snow.
That new storm is expected to track farther south and east than this weekend’s storm. A period of accumulating snow is possible from parts of the Ozarks in Missouri through portions of the Ohio Valley and the Appalachians next week.
