Meteorologist Henry Margusity details the aftermath of a massive blizzard that recently hammered the Midwest, dropping anywhere from 3 to 30 inches of snow in areas like Wisconsin. As this powerful system pushes up into Canada, its associated cold front is bringing a dangerous mix of severe weather today, including the potential for tornado activity. On the back side of this front, a band of snow is currently tracking through the Appalachians and up into New York and Pennsylvania, expected to leave 1 to 3 inches of accumulation.
While the blizzard departs, the active pattern continues without a break. Margusity warns of a new "clipper" system descending from the northwest tomorrow, which is set to drop an additional coating to two inches of snow across the Midwest and Plains. Looking at the long-range forecast for the next 15 days, winter weather will remain stubbornly focused on the Northeast and Great Lakes, keeping the East cold while the Western United States enjoys a much warmer and drier pattern.
